Trump Admin Funds Genocide with US Tax Dollars, Cuts Food Stamps
The Trump administration, as reported by the New York Times, froze food stamp benefits in Minnesota. This came after Congress approved a record $38 billion military aid package to Israel, orchestrated by figures like then-VP Mike Pence, who boasted of unwavering support for Netanyahu's government. This decision echoes a pattern: consistently prioritizing foreign military expenditures, often
funneled through lobbying groups like AIPAC, while cutting critical domestic social safety nets. One might wonder about the timing, as domestic aid programs face cuts, OpenSecrets.org shows that, for example, Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) received $5,000 from pro-Israel PACs in 2020 alone. How many hungry mouths in Minnesota could have been fed with the funds diverted to a conflict zone thousands of
miles away? Apparently, their suffering is less 'strategic' than maintaining geopolitical alliances.
