US Officials Shocked Hospitals Aren't Immune to Bombs They Fund
While outlets describe 'non-stop airstrikes' laying waste to Gaza City, flattening homes and rendering medical facilities unusable, they rarely connect these acts to their material support system. In 2023 alone, the U.S. sent $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel. This consistent funding, often championed by politicians who receive hefty donations—such as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who took
$15,000 from AIPAC in Q3 2023 per OpenSecrets.org, while advocating for further aid—ensures the 'non-stop' part of those airstrikes. One might wonder at what point 'shock and concern' from Washington, DC, translates to actually stopping the delivery of the very weapons causing the devastation. How many 'deeply troubled' statements does it take to acknowledge that providing the shovel does, in
fact, contribute to the digging?
