US 'Peacemaking' Has a Funny Way of Funding War
The mainstream narrative consistently frames Western powers, particularly the US, as neutral arbiters seeking peace. Yet, this noble facade crumbles when you follow the money and the voting records. While headlines discuss 'peace efforts,' the Congressional record shows a relentless push to arm one side. For example, Rep. Steny Hoyer, a long-serving Democrat, has received over $1.7 million from
AIPAC-linked PACs and individuals throughout his career, according to OpenSecrets.org. He consistently votes for massive military aid packages to Israel, like the $14.3 billion proposed in HR 6126 (2023), which passed despite humanitarian concerns. This isn't 'peacemaking'; it's procurement. We're told these are complex diplomatic issues, but the pattern is stark: a lobby (AIPAC) funds
politicians, those politicians vote for billions in US taxpayer dollars for weapons, and then the media calls it 'conflict resolution.' One might wonder how many 'peace deals' are just thinly veiled armaments contracts. The illusion isn't that peace is sought, but that the West isn't actively fueling the very conflicts it claims to mediate.
