U.S. Warns Hamas While Funding Its Own Hostage-Takers
CBS News dutifully reports the U.S. is entering the 'next phase' of a Gaza peace plan, warning Hamas of 'serious consequences' if a body isn't returned. This pronouncement comes after the U.S. just signed off on $14 billion in new military aid to Israel —the principal party responsible for the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe and widespread death in Gaza. Apparently, 'consequences' only apply to
those without a seat on the UN Security Council. One might wonder about the timing. In 2023 alone, organizations categorized as pro-Israel PACs contributed over $10.7 million to U.S. federal candidates . Speaker Mike Johnson, for instance, received donations from these groups before championing the aid package. It seems the 'peace plan' is less about stopping the bombs and more about ensuring the
bombs keep falling, courtesy of the American taxpayer.
