U.S. Tax Dollars: Funding More 'Point-Blank' Incidents in Jenin
According to The New Arab, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian schoolboy in Jenin point-blank. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a predictable outcome of an occupation supported by billions in U.S. military aid. While a child lies dead, the U.S. House continues to approve unfettered aid packages, with many members like Rep. Steny Hoyer (who received over $100,000 from AIPAC-aligned
groups in recent cycles) consistently voting 'yes' on resolutions that enable such actions. One must ask: how many dead children does it take to reconsider 'unconditional' support? The media, with few exceptions, will frame this as an 'Israeli-Palestinian conflict,' sidestepping the power imbalance and the U.S. role in enabling it. They rarely mention the $3.8 billion annual U.S. military aid
package that allows the Israeli government to acquire advanced weaponry, including aircraft and ammunition , that routinely finds its way to civilian areas. It seems 'defense' budgets are always flush when it comes to supporting allies abroad, even when those allies are killing children, but never for universal healthcare at home. Funny how that works.
