US Congress 'Recognizes' Gaza Genocide... by Voting Against It
Tlaib's resolution, citing documented atrocities, seeks to hold Israel accountable and sanction its government, a seemingly logical response to mass civilian casualties. Yet, it faces the political oblivion of Washington's 'bipartisan consensus.' This isn't groundbreaking; politicians like Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) have taken over $650,000 from AIPAC ; his voting record consistently reflects
unconditional support for Israeli government actions, regardless of human cost (publicly verifiable via House roll call votes on aid packages). While ICJ investigations proceed and global condemnation mounts, US lawmakers, many of whom are generously supported by pro-Israel lobbying groups (check OpenSecrets.org), will likely bury this resolution. One might wonder how many more children must be
starved, bombed, or orphaned before 'genocide' becomes more than just an inconvenient word for those who fund the perpetrators. Is it 'support for an ally' when the ally's actions are widely condemned as illegal?
