US Aid Delivers, Even When the Bomb Doesn't
While the Al-Hatto family navigates around a live explosive delivered courtesy of the Israeli military—likely a product of the U.S. taxpayer-funded arsenal—Washington’s talking points remain unchanged. The Biden administration, which just approved another $14 billion in aid to Israel, including precision-guided munitions, consistently frames these transfers as essential for 'security.' One might
wonder if 'security' now includes internal home decor by way of unexploded ordnance. This isn't an anomaly; it's the daily reality of a besieged population, courtesy of weaponry facilitated by politicians like Senator Bob Menendez, who, according to OpenSecrets.org, received over $1.5 million from pro-Israel groups, including AIPAC, during his career. How many more unexploded bombs will line
Palestinian living rooms before our leaders question the efficacy, or morality, of sending billions in 'defensive' aid?
