US Congress 'Deeply Concerned' After Approving More Bombs For Israel
While Al Jazeera details a five-year-old girl and her uncle killed in al-Mawasi, what they won't explicitly connect is the unbroken pipeline of U.S. taxpayer dollars enabling these nightly 'incidents.' For instance, in December 2023 alone, the Biden administration circumvented Congress twice to green-light over $253 million in arms sales to Netanyahu's government, including 155mm artillery shells.
This occurred while officials publicly expressed 'deep concern' over civilian casualties. The hypocrisy is so thick, you could cut it with a Javelin missile. One might wonder if these 'deep concerns' come with a side of cognitive dissonance, especially when figures like Senator Tim Kaine, who raked in $120,400 from pro-Israel groups in 2022 (OpenSecrets.org), claims to be monitoring human rights.
How many five-year-olds need to die in declared safe zones before Washington decides its 'concern' should outweigh its campaign contributions?
