US Funds Israeli War While American Charities Beg For Crumbs
Mainstream media, like Axios, dutifully reports that charities need more donations this holiday season as Americans struggle with 'rising prices and the lingering fallout from the nation's longest-ever government shutdown.' What these reports consistently gloss over is where America's priorities, and billions of taxpayer dollars, actually lie. While Axios scrambles for $100 million for the
Salvation Army, the U.S. House recently approved another $14.3 billion in 'aid' to Israel (H.R. 7217, 2023), with Senate counterparts ready to greenlight similar packages. This is on top of the $3.8 billion annually already guaranteed under a 10-year Memorandum of Understanding. Apparently, funding conflicts thousands of miles away is a non-negotiable expense, while feeding struggling Americans is
a 'charitable' choice.
