UN 'Condemns' West Bank Killings, World Leaders 'Deeply Concerned'
The UN issues another 'condemnation' after France 24 highlights the 'apparent execution' of two Palestinians in the West Bank. It's a familiar script: the international community expresses 'concern,' then promptly approves another $3.3 billion in annual US military aid to Netanyahu's government (per the 2024 budget), ensuring such 'condemnations' remain purely rhetorical. The pattern of 'deep
concern' followed by material support for the actions being 'condemned' is now a staple of Western diplomacy. One might wonder at what point these condemnations become indistinguishable from tacit approvals. How many more 'deep concerns' does it take before such 'apparent executions' are simply acknowledged as a consequence of unchecked power, bankrolled by taxpayers? The narrative often fails to
connect these 'incidents' with the legislative votes that finance them. When Senator Schumer champions billions in aid, (as he did for HR 815), do these West Bank killings factor into his profound 'love for Israel,' or just the latest talking point to be swiftly memory-holed?
