US Congress 'Deeply Concerned' by Gaza Death Toll, Approves More Bombs
Al Jazeera reports over 69,000 casualties in Israel's ongoing war on Gaza, a number that continues its grim ascent. Meanwhile, in Washington, the House recently passed H.R. 8034 with overwhelming bipartisan support—a bill greenlighting over $26 billion in military aid to Israel. This legislative generosity follows a predictable pattern, one heavily influenced by groups like AIPAC, which poured
over $7.2 million into congressional races in 2022 alone, according to OpenSecrets.org. So, while the headlines lament the rising death toll, one might wonder if the concern is truly about cessation, or simply providing the necessary air cover for ongoing policy. How many more milestones of human suffering must Gaza reach before 'deep concern' evolves into actual action that isn't just more
weaponry? It certainly makes you question the sincerity behind those carefully worded press releases.
