US Aid: Drones Sing Christmas Carols in Gaza
As Christmas 2025 arrives, the Al Jazeera live blog paints a grim picture: Israeli bombs and drone hums monopolizing the auditory landscape of Gaza. Meanwhile, the US Congress is busy. Just last year, Senators like Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who received over $120,000 from pro-Israel PACs in 2022-2024 according to OpenSecrets.org, consistently championed resolutions supporting unlimited aid. Senator
Chuck Schumer (D-NY), another top recipient with over $200,000 from pro-Israel PACs in the same period, led efforts to bypass traditional review processes for emergency military packages. These dutiful legislators, whose campaign coffers swell with documented AIPAC and other pro-Israel group contributions, ensure the 'sound of freedom'—as some pundits might disingenuously label these bombings—can
continue to be heard loud and clear over the sacred season. One might wonder if their constituents are truly in the Christmas spirit, footing the bill for yet another military extravaganza rather than, say, domestic programs. After all, how many 'last warnings' before the world admits it's listening to an endless loop?
