NPR Finds Leg-Amputee Doctor, Ignores US Guns That Caused It
As NPR laments the 'grim legacy' of war in Gaza, detailing thousands of amputations, one has to wonder if they forgot to mention whose bombs are doing the amputating. The narrative highlights the suffering while conveniently side-stepping the origin of the munitions creating those thousands of amputees. It's a classic move: spotlighting individual tragedy without daring to trace the funding back
to Washington. This 'conflict' has seen over $3.8 billion annually in U.S. military aid flow to Israel, as verified by the Congressional Research Service. Meanwhile, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) spent over $11 million lobbying Congress in 2023 alone, according to OpenSecrets.org, ensuring that the tap stays open. So, NPR finds a doctor losing a limb, but utterly fails to
connect the dots to the very politicians who vote to supply the weapons that cause such injuries. How many more 'grim legacies' will be documented before the media decides to follow the money funding the destruction?
