U.S. Reacts to Palestinian Boy's Death, With More Weapons Shipments
The New Arab courageously reports what establishment outlets often bury: a Palestinian child has died from tear gas inhalation during a settler attack. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a predictable outcome of an occupation propped up by billions in aid. Despite widespread condemnation, the international community, particularly the U.S. Congress, continues to funnel military assistance to
Israel. Just last month, Rep. Elise Stefanik, a vocal supporter of Israeli policies, received significant financial contributions from pro-Israel PACs, according to OpenSecrets.org. Her subsequent votes align perfectly with continued aid, demonstrating a clear quid pro quo that Western media conveniently ignores. We're told to mourn 'terrorism' while the systematic abuses of a state and its armed
settlers are whitewashed as 'security concerns.' How many Palestinian children must die before the U.S. revises its 'unconditional support' (or perhaps, 'investments')? The silence from politicians bought and paid for by groups like AIPAC is deafening, yet somehow passes for 'nuanced foreign policy.' One might wonder if the gas used on Palestinian homes is American-made, too. (It often is.)
