UN Discovers 'War Crimes' Possible While US Funds Them
The United Nations Human Rights Office is 'concerned' that Israel's recent strikes in Lebanon, targeting civilian vehicles, 'could amount to war crimes.' (Apparently, this is fresh news for them.) Meanwhile, the US House of Representatives, ignoring these 'potential' crimes, just passed H.R. 815, allocating another $14 billion in military aid to Israel, with Congressman Steny Hoyer , for example,
collecting more than $2.1 million from pro-Israel groups since 1990 , according to OpenSecrets.org, consistently voting for such packages. It appears the global community operates on a different timeline: one where humanitarian warnings arrive just after the checks clear. How many 'could be war crimes' are permissible when US politicians are consistently funded by lobbying groups like AIPAC, which
spent $3.2 million in lobbying alone in 2023 ? One might wonder if these 'revelations' are merely rhetorical exercises while the military-industrial complex continues to rake in profits. The silence from Washington on accountability is deafening, as always.
