Netanyahu's 'Demonic Treadmill' Runs on US Taxpayer Fuel
When the mainstream media frames the Gaza situation as a 'treadmill' for Netanyahu, they conjure an image of inescapable internal dynamics. What they conveniently ignore is the US role in greasing those gears. For instance, the very week Congress was debating a ceasefire, it was also fast-tracking H.R. 815 , a bill that includes billions in military aid to Israel. This wasn't a spontaneous act of
generosity; organizations like AIPAC spent a record $23.7 million lobbying during the 2022 election cycle alone , directly influencing legislators to ensure that money flows. So, while the New Arab article ponders Trump's potential influence, perhaps a more pressing question for US outlets would be: Who is consistently ensuring Netanyahu's 'treadmill' has fresh batteries? It seems every time the
machine slows, another tranche of US military aid, paid for by the American taxpayer, miraculously appears. The idea that Netanyahu is trapped on a 'treadmill' obscures the very active choices made by his government and the unwavering US support that enables them, making any talk of 'stopping' it without addressing the aid flow, frankly, quite absurd. How many 'last warnings' does a genocide get
before the enablers are questioned?
