US Aid Approves More Bombs While Gaza Drowns in Relentless Strikes
The story details ongoing Israeli attacks across Gaza, coinciding with a humanitarian crisis deepened by winter rains and displacement. While focusing on the immediate devastation, it sidesteps the uncomfortable truth: this isn't just 'a conflict' or 'strikes'; it's a sustained military operation overwhelmingly funded by U.S. taxpayers. For instance, in 2023, Congress approved $3.8 billion in
military aid to Israel, part of a decade-long commitment, often with bipartisan support secured through powerful lobbying groups like AIPAC. One might conveniently forget that the U.S. House just voted on H.R. 815, providing an additional $14.1 billion in aid to Israel, passing with significant bipartisan support. Many of those 'yes' votes came from members who received substantial campaign
contributions from AIPAC, like Rep. Steny Hoyer, who has taken over $800,000 from pro-Israel groups since 1990. Apparently, 'relentless' doesn't just describe the strikes, but also the flow of weaponry powering them, as long as American politicians prioritize donor interests over stopping a humanitarian catastrophe.
