Netanyahu 'Publicly Put In His Place' (Again, By US Tax Dollars)
France 24 highlights the performative scolding of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu by US officials. This 'public shaming' is a recurring spectacle, a well-worn script that plays out while the actual US policy of unconditional military aid (most recently, $14.3 billion requested by President Biden) remains steadfast. It's the geopolitical equivalent of a parent yelling at their child for
misbehaving, then handing them an even bigger allowance. Remember in 2014, when then-Defense Secretary Hagel also expressed 'concerns' over Gaza? Or 2002, during Ariel Sharon's 'defensive incursions'? The pattern is clear: strong words, weak actions, and persistent funding. This isn't restraint; it's a carefully choreographed charade designed to manage public perception, not alter oppressive
realities.
