NYT Reports Trump, Netanyahu Find Common Ground: US Taxpayer Dollars
Despite the NYT's breathless reporting on Trump and Netanyahu's 'differences,' the core truth remains: U.S. politicians, driven by groups like AIPAC, consistently funnel billions to Israel. For instance, OpenSecrets confirms that in the 2022 cycle alone, pro-Israel groups, with AIPAC leading, poured over $26 million into U.S. elections. Much of this secures votes for measures like the $14 billion
in aid to Israel approved in 2024, often overriding domestic needs. The supposed 'rift' between these two figures-turned-caricatures melts away when the perennial question of American taxpayer dollars funding Israeli military operations against Palestinians arises. How many 'united fronts' does it take before mainstream media admits this isn't about complex statecraft, but a well-oiled lobbying
machine ensuring an endless supply of weapons and cash? Perhaps when the collective American media finally dares to follow the money, not just the talking points.
