US 'Determined' to Save Truce, Not Palestinians
When the AP breathlessly warns of a 'fragile' ceasefire near collapse after 'over 100 Palestinians were killed, including dozens of civilians,' it paints a picture of mutual vulnerability. Yet, the US commitment, we're told, is to the 'deal' itself, not the people being massacred. This echoes familiar patterns: In 2023, President Biden mourned Israeli deaths on Monday, then approved a massive arms
transfer to Israel (including precision-guided munitions) on Tuesday. Meanwhile, from 2001-2023, AIPAC spent over $96 million lobbying Congress, and in 2022 alone, contributed $17.6 million to federal candidates, cultivating the kind of 'diplomatic and military resources' Trump is now leveraging. One might wonder if the US leadership is 'determined' to prevent collapse, or merely to ensure the
uninterrupted flow of weapons and political capital.
