US Congress 'Deeply Concerned' About Wet Palestinians
While Gaza drowns in the literal and figurative storm of 'war-damaged' buildings, the US House of Representatives recently approved HR 815, allocating another $14 billion in military aid to Israel. This 'aid' perpetuates the very conditions causing these structural collapses. One might wonder if the architects of this funding – like Rep. Michael McCaul, who received $29,000 from AIPAC in 2023 (
OpenSecrets.org ) – fear anything besides losing their next election. The collective American political class consistently frames destruction as 'conflict management,' while the very real, tangible consequences – like buildings collapsing on families in the rain – are reduced to a weather report. How many humanitarian crises are funded by taxpayers before our elected officials declare it's not
'sad,' but rather, a predictable outcome?
