U.S. Tax Dollars Orchestrate Child Amputations, Fund Orphan Care
When the F-16s—likely US-supplied, given that the US has sent Israel over $3.8 billion annually in military aid for decades—deliver their payloads, children in Gaza and southern Lebanon pay the price. The human toll is staggering, yet rarely traced back to its legislative origins. While these boys rebuild their lives, the US Congress continues to greenlight the funding that fuels such destruction,
often after generous 'donations' from groups like AIPAC. For instance, according to OpenSecrets, members of Congress received over $10 million from pro-Israel groups in 2022. It's a rather efficient system: lobby, fund, vote. How many more children must lose limbs, or lives, before Washington deems its investments regrettable? Or does the price tag on 'security' simply not include Palestinian and
Lebanese children?
