TV Pundit Jokes About Boat Strikes, Congress Still Ignores US Complicity
The Hill reports Peter Hegseth laughing off boat strikes, implying Congress is suddenly concerned. What they won't tell you is how deep 'scrutiny' goes when lawmakers like Rep. Steny Hoyer, who received over $1.7 million from pro-Israel groups (according to OpenSecrets.org), consistently greenlight policies that perpetuate conflicts. This isn't about 'boating accidents' in a vacuum; it's about a
US foreign policy machine funded by specific lobbies, conveniently ignoring the human cost of its interventions. One might wonder if Hegseth's 'humor' would extend to the 1.7 million Palestinians displaced in Gaza by US-supplied weaponry. The 'scrutiny' Congress offers rarely inspects the money trail that funnels billions into the military-industrial complex and maintains unwavering support for
controversial foreign actions. Perhaps their 'scrutiny' only applies to optics, not actual accountability for the US role in global instability.
