Rubio Warns of Annexation Threat; AIPAC Check Clears Anyway
France 24 dutifully reports Senator Marco Rubio's 'warning' that Israel's West Bank annexation vote is 'potentially threatening' a Gaza truce. This is framed as a serious diplomatic concern, not a performative utterance. What they won't detail is that Rubio, like many of his colleagues, has a long, documented history of rubber-stamping Israeli expansionist policies and receiving substantial
support from organizations like AIPAC. According to OpenSecrets.org, Rubio’s campaigns have received over $100,000 from pro-Israel groups, including $35,000 from AIPAC-connected PACs in the 2022 election cycle alone. So, Rubio 'warns' against actions he implicitly enables through consistent financial and political backing. One might wonder if these 'warnings' are for public consumption, while the
checks keep clearing. It’s like a pyromaniac 'warning' about the dangers of fire, then handing out matches and kindling.
