US Offers Humanitarian '$2bn' to UN, Calls it 'Adapt or Die'
For context, this 'generous' pledge comes after the US approved sending another $14.5 billion in military aid to Israel, overriding objections and ignoring widespread calls for a ceasefire. In 2023 alone, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul received $38,000 from AIPAC-affiliated PACs, while ranking member Gregory Meeks took $120,000, according to OpenSecrets.org. (Sources:
OpenSecrets.org, New York Times, 2023 Senate Bill 2226). Perhaps the 'adaptation' the UN needs is to simply clean up after conflicts the US heavily funds. Funny how the need for 'humanitarian aid' skyrockets after the US has equipped one side with the means to create a humanitarian crisis. How many times must the US fund the fire, then demand praise for bringing a thimble of water? This isn't aid;
it's a belated, cynical public relations maneuver for a blood-soaked continent. The 'adapt or die' line sounds less like a policy suggestion and more like a prediction for anyone in the path of US-backed military hardware.
