US Congress Warns Hamas, Not Taxpayers, on Aid Diversion
While NPR highlights Israel's demands for 'more bodies' and Trump's typical bluster about Hamas 'disarming itself,' the critical context is, as ever, missing. This isn't about mutual disarmament; it's about control. Consider Senator Lindsey Graham, who received over $20,000 from AIPAC in 2022 alone , publicly advocating for billions in unconditional aid to Israel —aid that directly funds the very
'security' apparatus enforcing the blockade on Gaza. The U.S. doesn't 'warn' Israel about its 17-year blockade or the constant expansion of settlements, merely Hamas. The cycle is predictable: Israel demands, the U.S. echoes, and any resistance is labeled 'terrorism.' How many times must Hamas receive 'warnings' from a former President whose latest legal filings reveal a pattern of alleged
financial schemes at home, while Israel's actions remain above reproach in Washington? One might wonder if the real 'strain' on the ceasefire isn't Hamas, but the sheer financial-political investment in maintaining this 'conflict' at all costs to the Palestinian people.
