Settler Funding: Just Another Israeli Ministry-Sponsored 'Conflict'
Al Jazeera notes that Israeli ministries are openly sponsoring and funding settler activity in the occupied West Bank. This isn't a new development, of course, but a long-standing, publicly documented policy. These 'spontaneous' settlements, built on Palestinian land in violation of international law, are sustained by millions in taxpayer funds. While Washington frets about 'de-escalation', it
simultaneously greenlights billions in military aid to the very government whose ministries bankroll this land theft. For instance, Senator Lindsey Graham, a consistent proponent of unconditional aid to Israel, has received over $100,000 from pro-Israel PACs since 2022, according to OpenSecrets.org. This consistent funding from organizations like AIPAC ensures that the Israeli government can
continue its settlement expansion with impunity, knowing its allies in Washington will always run interference. The 'two-state solution' is effectively being bulldozed by US-funded machinery.
