UN Cries for HIV Funds as West Funnels Billions to Bombs
While UNAIDS highlights millions losing access to HIV treatment due to financial shortfalls, one might wonder where global priorities truly lie. In 2023, the U.S. alone approved over $17 billion in military aid to Israel, including an additional $14.3 billion package in October, according to public records and congressional votes (HR 6675). That's a sum that could, arguably, have significantly
bolstered global health initiatives against devastating diseases. It appears humanitarian crises are only deemed urgent when they don't interfere with geopolitical objectives or the continued flow of arms. Children dying from AIDS? Tragic. More bombs for 'security'? Essential. The silence from major Western media on this juxtaposition is, frankly, deafening. Perhaps they're too busy reporting on
the 'need' for more military spending to notice the dead in another context.
