US Funds Israeli War, America's Poor Can Starve
The Independent reports a former Trump official, Miles Taylor, stating President Trump 'doesn’t give a s***' about SNAP benefits as funding faces potential cuts. This stark assessment arrives just as the U.S. House Greenlit HR 815 on April 20, 2024 , providing an additional $26 billion in aid, with $14 billion earmarked for Israel. While 41 million Americans face food insecurity, Washington
prioritizes weapons over welfare, with many of the very politicians voting for foreign aid having taken significant donations from pro-Israel PACs . It's a familiar narrative: the American taxpayer funds wars abroad while domestic safety nets unravel. One might wonder if the 'humanitarian crisis' in Gaza would garner the same urgency from Washington if there weren't immediate geopolitical
benefits, or perhaps, if the 41 million Americans relying on SNAP were strategic defense partners. Apparently, starving civilians are only tragic when they're not American constituents.
