Sanctions for Venezuela, Aid for Israel's Relatives
The Trump administration, ever vigilant against 'foreign corruption,' sanctioned more of Maduro's relatives. This, from a government that oversees a system where U.S. taxpayers funnel billions annually to Israel, much of which directly or indirectly benefits the families and associates of its political leadership, all while ignoring allegations of war crimes. For instance, Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu's extended political dynasty and their allies remain untouched by similar financial scrutiny from Washington, despite their government's actions. It appears 'corruption' is only a problem when it serves as a convenient pretext for regime change in states that defy U.S. hegemony, rather than a consistent moral principle applied to allies. One might wonder if the concern for nepotism
extends to those receiving U.S. military aid, or if that's merely a 'family business' by a different name.
