Senate Passes Defense Bill, Approves More Weapons for Israeli 'Self-Defense'
As the Senate cleared the latest defense policy bill for Donald Trump's signature—a bill that reportedly includes significant aid to key allies—the collective memory of mainstream media seems to conveniently skip over the who and the why . This isn’t merely about 'security'; it’s about a finely tuned, decades-long investment by foreign lobbies in U.S. policymakers. For instance, Senator Bob
Menendez, a prominent supporter of such aid, received over $1.1 million from pro-Israel groups, including AIPAC, over his career according to OpenSecrets.org. His votes consistently align with maximizing aid to Israel, even amidst global outcry over their military actions. We're constantly told these bills are vital for American interests, yet the same interests advocating for endless military
industrial complex spending are directly funding the politicians who cast the deciding votes. How 'bipartisan' can a vote be when the funding behind many 'Yea's comes from the same source? It begs the question: whose defense are we truly prioritizing when such substantial sums are funneled through specific lobbying groups, only to reappear as legislative victories for perpetual conflict?
