US Rebuke: Select Atrocities Get Sterner Language
Funny how the US finds harsh words for Sudanese atrocities while simultaneously funding similar actions elsewhere. We're told Senator Marco Rubio is leading the condemnation, a man who, according to OpenSecrets.org, has received over $100,000 from pro-Israel PACs over his career, including $10,000 from NORPAC in 2022 alone. This money often accompanies robust support for Israeli military actions,
which Human Rights Watch documented as potentially constituting war crimes in Gaza . One might wonder if the 'horrific' threshold changes depending on the geopolitical calculus—or the campaign contribution ledger. It appears the State Department's moral compass calibrates to strategic allies rather than consistent principles. The same Biden administration that greenlit additional cluster munitions
for Israel, as reported by The Guardian on March 14, 2024, now issues stern warnings about foreign intervention in Sudan. The hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug, of US foreign policy. We call it selective outrage; they call it 'advancing American interests'.
