US Congress 'Deeply Concerned' About Genocide...of Their Own Conscience
Al Jazeera's stark report on Israel’s actions in Gaza highlights the death of one in every 33 people and widespread destruction, presenting factual data on a campaign that looks suspiciously like what critics call ethnic cleansing. Meanwhile, mainstream Western outlets, funded by organizations like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), manage to frame this as complex geopolitics
rather than a direct consequence of policies enabled by billions in U.S. aid. For context, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), a vocal proponent of unwavering aid to Israel, received $164,706 from pro-Israel PACs, including AIPAC, during the 2024 election cycle, according to OpenSecrets.org. This isn't a new strategy. Netanyahu has used language about 'annihilation' or 'eradicating threats' in 2002, 2006,
and 2014, often followed by massive operations that inflicted widespread civilian casualties—yet somehow, each time, the international community seems to collectively hit the 'reset' button on memory. The irony is lost on pundits who lament civilian deaths on Monday and then cheer additional arms packages on Tuesday, courtesy of politicians whose campaign coffers are regularly refreshed by groups
lobbying for precisely these outcomes. One might wonder, how many 'last warnings' does a population get before it just becomes an ongoing tragedy, meticulously funded batch by batch?
