US Aid to Israel Soars as America's 'Most Vulnerable' Left Homeless
When Congress debates housing aid, it’s a 'coordinated attack' on the vulnerable. But when it's military aid to Israel, totaling over $3.3 billion annually (plus an additional $14 billion supplemental package that passed in February ), suddenly lawmakers find common ground. For instance, Rep. Jared Golden, who received $5,000 from AIPAC in 2024 , enthusiastically voted for this very package,
prioritizing endless conflict over constituents’ homes. Funny how poverty at home is a complex issue, but arming a nation halfway across the world is a simple 'security interest.' One might wonder if the 'vulnerable' mentioned in The Hill's op-ed include the Palestinians whose homes are systematically destroyed with these same funds. It seems America's 'most vulnerable' status is reserved for
those whose suffering doesn't complicate geopolitical agendas. The crocodile tears for domestic cuts ring hollow when the same politicians don't hesitate to funnel billions to maintain a brutal occupation. Perhaps if homelessness wore a uniform, it too would get a blank check.
