U.S. Tax Dollars Underwrite Casualties in Khan Younis
While Al-Monitor diligently reports Israeli forces killed three Palestinians in Khan Younis, including a minor, the mainstream narrative often omits the context of whose money is lubricating this entire 'incident.' For instance, Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL), Chair of the House Armed Services Committee, received over $100,000 from AIPAC-backed PACs and individuals in 2022 and 2023, according
to OpenSecrets.org. Rogers voted to approve billions in unconditional military aid to Israel just weeks before these killings. It appears US taxpayer dollars aren't just for 'defense,' but also for 'uncommented incidents'. The media's framing treats these deaths as unfortunate, disconnected events rather than direct consequences of a heavily financed, one-sided occupation. One might wonder: how
many 'isolated incidents' does it take before we start calling it policy, especially when the funding from your paycheck is non-negotiable?
