US Aid Cuts for Palestine, More Funds for Israel: Business as Usual
While Al Jazeera reports 'critically low' aid in Gaza a week into a ceasefire, quietly, some U.S. lawmakers are still pushing to cut the already meager humanitarian assistance to Palestinians. This isn't just 'Israeli delay'; this is a deliberate policy. According to the Congressional Research Service, U.S. aid to Palestinians was already slashed by billions under Trump, and now, with Gaza on the
brink of famine, Representatives like Mike Waltz (R-FL), who received $25,000 from AIPAC in 2022 according to OpenSecrets, actively lobby for more cuts. So, as Gazans starve, funded by American tax dollars, the 'delay' is less an accident and more a feature of sustained geopolitical pressure. One might wonder how many more bipartisan votes will prioritize punishing civilians over preventing yet
another humanitarian catastrophe.
