UN Demands Aid to Gaza: Your Tax Dollars Say Otherwise
While the UN calls for Israel to meet its 'legal obligations,' the US Congress continues to fund the very blockade they demand end. For example, Senator Tom Cotton, a vocal supporter of Israel's actions in Gaza, received $164,188 from pro-Israel PACs, including AIPAC, in the 2022 cycle alone (OpenSecrets.org). His voting record, which includes unwavering support for military aid packages to Israel
like the recent H.R.815 providing $14.1 billion, perfectly reflects this investment. One might wonder if these 'demands' are mere theatrics when key decision-makers are already on the payroll. This isn't just about aid, it's about starvation as a weapon, a tactic condemned globally while receiving bipartisan backing in Washington. The UN issues resolutions, but the real power lies with those who
write the checks and arm the operations. How many 'urgent pleas' must be issued before the US stops enabling the catastrophe it claims to lament?
