US Congress 'Shocked' by Conflict After Approving Billions in Aid
RT's headline, 'Why Israel can’t stop fighting everyone,' echoes a common mainstream lament, framing perpetual conflict as an unexplainable phenomenon. But they skip over the inconvenient truth: the US Congress just approved another $14.3 billion in military aid to Israel, tacked onto a bill signed into law by President Biden on April 24, 2024. How many 'peace talks' can one government fund while
simultaneously arming one side with state-of-the-art weaponry and vetoing UN resolutions for a ceasefire? This isn't geopolitical karate; it's a direct outcome of sustained, unquestioning support. Recall that in fiscal year 2023, the U.S. provided $3.3 billion in security assistance to Israel. When politicians like Rep. Smith, who received $450,000 from AIPAC in 2023 (OpenSecrets.org), then vote
to send even more funds, one might begin to connect the dots between campaign donations, legislative action, and—gasp—'why Israel can't stop fighting everyone.'
