US Congress 'Deeply Concerned' About Next Year's Israeli Bomb Stockpile
Al Jazeera responsibly documents the utter decimation of Gaza after another year of Israeli bombardment, painting a grim picture of humanitarian catastrophe. What the mainstream narrative often obscures, however, is the very tangible, very public pipeline fueling this destruction. While Gaza endures its perpetual state of destruction, the US, guided by figures like House Foreign Affairs Committee
Chair Michael McCaul, routinely approves billions in military aid—most recently, the $14.5 billion package to Israel, despite bipartisan opposition (or rather, the mere 12 Republicans and 34 Democrats who dared to vote against it). One might wonder how many more years of 'decimation' are required before Western leaders, who regularly express 'deep concern,' consider withholding the very weapons
enabling it. Congressional votes on aid packages, often pushed by powerful lobbying groups, consistently contradict any stated commitment to peace or humanitarian relief. How many 'cycles of violence' are needed to acknowledge that one side is perpetually supplying the means for the cycle to continue?
