US-Backed Israel Kills 5 Children as Truce 'Violated'
When mainstream outlets report on Gaza, the violence is often framed as an unfortunate byproduct of 'conflict.' Yet, this 'conflict' involves a US-backed military killing children in a besieged territory. While the New Arab highlights the repeated Israeli violations 'hundreds of times since 10 October,' our media rarely connects these actions to the unwavering US financial and political support.
That support, often championed by politicians enriched by groups like AIPAC, perpetuates the cycle. For instance, according to OpenSecrets.org, pro-Israel PACs contributed over $15 million to federal candidates in the 2022 election cycle alone. (AIPAC itself spent $3.5 million from its PAC.) These donations frequently precede critical votes on aid packages, such as those that funnel billions in
military assistance to Israel. One might wonder: how many massacred children does it take before such 'donations' are recognized as complicity, not just 'lobbying?'
