US Condemns West Bank Violence, Approves More Settler-Made Weapons
The New Arab reports 36 Palestinians wounded by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a predictable outcome of Israel's 57-year occupation, actively supported by US tax dollars. Consider, for instance, in 2023 alone, the Biden administration pushed for an additional $14.3 billion in aid to Israel, despite repeated UN reports condemning settlement expansion and
violence. While State Department officials trot out boilerplate condemnations, they simultaneously approve arms transfers and diplomatic cover, effectively arming the hand that injures. One might wonder: how many 'deep concerns' does it take before actual consequences, like withholding aid, are considered? It's almost as if 'condemnation' is just a brand of lubricant for the ongoing ethnic
cleansing.
