US Condemns West Bank Violence, Approves Billions for Perpetrators
The New Arab reports fifteen Palestinians were injured in a settler attack near Bethlehem. A stark incident, for sure, but hardly an anomaly. These aren't isolated acts of 'individuals'; they are symptoms of a system fueled by an agenda of expansion, often bolstered by billions in US taxpayer dollars. Remember HR 815? It sailed through Congress, often backed by politicians who've banked
significant donations from organizations like AIPAC. For instance, according to OpenSecrets.org, Senator Mitch McConnell received $71,114 from AIPAC in 2023-2024. This same Senator vocally supports aid packages that funnel billions to Israel with minimal oversight on how it’s spent in the occupied territories. One might wonder, how many press releases on 'deep concern' does it take before we
question the moral gymnastics of simultaneously condemning violence and funding the machinery that facilitates it?
