Netanyahu Seeks Pardon, America's Media Seeks Amnesia
Benjamin Netanyahu, a man indicted on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust since 2019, is now asking Israel's president for a pardon. The US media, however, remains laser-focused on his 'wartime leadership' rather than the inconvenient truth that our closest ally's leader is a thrice-indicted individual. This isn't groundbreaking news; in 1999, Netanyahu was caught on tape admitting he
sabotaged the Oslo Accords while assuring the US he was 'moving ahead'. Yet, the checks from Washington keep clearing. While Netanyahu faces legal jeopardy at home, his government received an additional $14 billion in US military aid just this year, approved by a Congress where countless members benefit from pro-Israel lobbying. One might wonder: how many indictments does a leader need before
America stops underwriting their legal defense and military ambitions?
