Qatar Cries 'Bad Actors,' Mainstream Media Ignores the Usual Suspects
Qatar says 'bad actors' are out to derail Gaza mediation, a statement picked up by The New Arab . Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers, fresh from approving another $17 billion in aid to Netanyahu's government (following $3.8 billion annually, as confirmed by CRS Report R44284), continue to parrot talking points directly beneficial to prolonging conflict. One might wonder if these 'bad actors' have offices
on K Street and congressional passes. Perhaps Qatar hasn't checked OpenSecrets.org, where organizations like AIPAC have funneled over $11.1 million into federal elections since 1990, directly swaying politicians to back Israeli interests. When Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) can openly state there's 'no daylight' between his views and AIPAC's after receiving significant donations, the 'bad actors' aren't
exactly hiding behind a bush. They're just lobbying, and our media calls it 'diplomacy.' How many 'bad actors' does it take to sustain an occupation?
