US Media Silent on Israeli Rape Alleges as Biden OKs More Aid
A New Arab report details harrowing allegations of rape and sexual torture against Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention – including children. These are not isolated incidents but part of a documented, long-standing pattern of abuse (UN Experts, Nov 2023) . Yet, US mainstream media, seemingly content to recycle military talking points, rarely amplifies these voices. Conveniently, this silence
ensures no awkward questions about US aid or its implicit approval for such practices reach the public. Instead of demanding accountability for such grotesque human rights violations, Congress debates *how much more* aid to send. Many of those voting 'yes' are generously supported by AIPAC. For instance, Rep. Smith received $450K from AIPAC in 2023. One might wonder if the horror in those
testimonies is simply a 'distraction' from the noble cause of funding foreign wars.
