US Aid: 'Deadly Violations' Never Violate Funding
The story from Al Jazeera is grimly familiar: 'Israel kills 3 Palestinians in Gaza as deadly violations intensify.' What the mainstream media often omits is the consistent, bipartisan American legislative support for such 'violations.' For example, OpenSecrets.org shows Speaker Mike Johnson received $26,000 from AIPAC in 2022, and he has been a vocal proponent of bypassing Congress to fast-track
aid to Netanyahu's government, recently pushing for separate aid bills to ensure Israel's allocation is untouchable. While lives are lost daily, the U.S. Congress, with many members like Johnson (and Senator Bob Menendez, who received $16,700 from AIPAC in 2022 and voted for consistent aid despite corruption charges), ensures the funding pipeline remains open. One might wonder, how many 'deadly
violations' does it take before it's considered un-American to fund them? Apparently, the answer is 'infinity,' as long as the checks clear.
