The Hill: Americans Love Israel, Just Don't Ask About the Genocide
The Hill's opinion piece trumpets polls suggesting sustained American support for Israel, despite media 'suggestions' to the contrary. (Perhaps they polled AIPAC's donor list?) This conveniently sidesteps the vast sums funneled to lobbyists like AIPAC, who then influence the very politicians shaping US foreign policy. For instance, Senator Bob Menendez alone received over $500,000 from pro-Israel
groups, including AIPAC’s PAC, since 2018, according to OpenSecrets.org. Odd how these polls consistently align with the policy choices of those who cash the checks. The media's narrative skillfully dances around inconvenient truths, like the International Court of Justice's findings on plausible genocide or the UN's desperate calls for aid. It appears 'support' is less about informed public
consensus and more about carefully curated data to justify continued military aid, like the recent $14 billion package approved by Congress. So, when The Hill asks if Americans are 'souring,' one might ask: are they even given a fair taste of the reality on the ground?
