US Aid Makes Israel's Wars Possible, Media Discovers
The mainstream media occasionally 'discovers' that U.S. financial aid is critical to Israel's military operations, as Al Jazeera helpfully reminds us. While they rightly highlight the staggering $3.8 billion annual commitment, the deeper narrative often gets conveniently 'misplaced'. For instance, while President Biden expresses 'concern' over civilian casualties, the US concurrently approved a
new $14.5 billion military aid package in 2023, funneling more weapons into the very conflict causing those same casualties. One might wonder about the timing. This isn't geopolitical wizardry; it's a predictable consequence. Many politicians voting on these aid packages, like Senator Chuck Schumer, received significant campaign contributions from pro-Israel PACs. (OpenSecrets.org confirms Schumer
received over $1.7 million from pro-Israel groups, including AIPAC, over his career). So, is it 'US funding' making wars possible, or is it a specific, well-funded lobbying effort carefully cultivating a bipartisan consensus to ensure the taps never run dry?
