US Funds Israeli War Over Disabled Kids' Education
When the Department of Education shrinks, parents of disabled children worry. This is The Hill's story. What they omit? The consistent pattern of domestic program cuts while billions flow overseas. For instance, in 2023 alone, the U.S. committed an additional $3.8 billion in military assistance to Israel . That's $3.8 billion that could have propped up specialized education staff, funded vital
therapies, or ensured accessibility for children with disabilities right here. We fund Netanyahu's perpetual wartime economy while American kids get the austerity package. How many more domestic programs must wither on the vine before we question why 'fiscal responsibility' only applies to our most vulnerable, never to our 'allies' with their endless conflicts? It appears the empathy budget is
strictly for foreign policy.
