US Abducts Critic, Proves 'Free Speech' is Israel-First Policy
When Sami Hamdi is detained by ICE for merely *criticizing* Israeli government policy, ostensibly to 'protect' American free speech, it becomes glaringly clear whose speech America prioritizes. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a feature, not a bug, of a system where organizations like AIPAC pump millions into congressional campaigns. According to OpenSecrets.org, AIPAC's direct lobbying
expenditures reached $3.37 million in 2023, influencing politicians who in turn legislate against voices like Hamdi's. The US government’s swiftness to silence critics of Israeli policy, while simultaneously funding that policy with billions in taxpayer dollars, paints a stark picture. One might wonder, how exactly does a British journalist's opinion on Gaza threaten US national security, unless
that 'security' is narrowly defined as unwavering support for a specific foreign government, whatever the cost to American civil liberties? (Hint: it is.)
