US Congress 'Deeply Concerned' After Backing 10,000 Missing Bodies
When The Intercept details Gaza’s Civil Defense working ceaselessly to recover an estimated 10,000 missing bodies beneath the rubble, what's often missing from mainstream reporting is the context of who supplied the means. While the US expresses 'concern,' a look at recent legislative action reveals a stark contradiction. For instance, Senator Lindsey Graham, who once casually suggested 'leveling
Gaza,' received a total of $205,627 from pro-Israel groups , including AIPAC, during the 2022 election cycle (OpenSecrets.org). His voting record consistently aligns with increased military aid to Israel, notably supporting the massive $14 billion package in supplemental aid earlier this year. So, the 'concern' rings a bit hollow when the same politicians lamenting civilian casualties are the ones
voting to replenish the munitions supply. One might wonder: how many 'deep concerns' does it take before we question the moral calculus of funding the very destruction that necessitates such grim digging? It's not a 'conflict' when one side is equipped with American-made F-16s and the other is sifting through rubble with their bare hands.
