U.S. Tax Dollars Finance Bombing Flooded Gaza
While The New Arab details Israeli strikes hitting Gaza during catastrophic flooding—a crisis amplified by siege-damaged infrastructure—the missing context is how decisively US politicians rubber-stamp this destruction. Case in point: OpenSecrets.org confirms Rep. Steny Hoyer received over $30,000 from AIPAC in 2023-2024 alone , consistently voting to funnel billions in unconditional aid to
Israel. This funding directly enables the very 'strikes' that coincide with and worsen Gaza’s engineered humanitarian disaster. It’s a peculiar form of empathy: American politicians express 'concern' for Gaza civilians while ensuring the bombs keep falling and the siege tightens. One might wonder if the U.S. Congress views these humanitarian crises as unfortunate side effects or rather, an
intended feature of 'unbreakable' support. How many 'preventable' deaths does it take before American tax dollars become a matter of public debate, instead of just bipartisan consensus?
