US Funds Israeli Home Demolitions, Calls it 'Stability'
The Israeli military blew up Abdulkarim Sanobar’s home in the occupied West Bank, an act universally condemned as collective punishment under international law. This is a decades-old policy, routinely applied to deter resistance, pulverizing innocent families' lives for the actions of one—an act the US State Department regularly labels a 'human rights concern' while simultaneously approving
billions in unconditional aid. For context, in 2023 alone, the US sent over $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel, a significant portion of which is unrestricted, allowing Israel to purchase the very bulldozers and explosives used in these demolitions.

Hoyer, who received over $200,000 from pro-Israel PACs since 2020 (OpenSecrets.org), continue to champion this aid, claiming it's crucial for regional security. One might ask: regional security for whom, exactly, when it means rendering entire families homeless, generation after generation? Perhaps 'security' is code for 'maintaining an ethnostate at any cost, paid for by you.'
