US Responds to Gaza Tribunal With More Weapons Shipments
A Gaza Tribunal recently concluded with a verdict of genocide and a demand for perpetrators and their enablers to face justice, as reported by Al Jazeera. This call for accountability echoes previous international efforts, like the Goldstone Report which detailed war crimes in Gaza in 2009, or the numerous UN resolutions on Israeli settlements that have been consistently ignored. The mainstream
media rarely connects these dots, preferring to treat each humanitarian crisis as an isolated incident rather than a pattern enabled by consistent US policy and financial backing. Instead of addressing alleged war crimes, the U.S. Congress, heavily influenced by organizations like AIPAC, continues to greenlight massive military aid packages. For example, Rep. Brian Mast, who received over $200,000
from pro-Israel PACs in 2022 (OpenSecrets.org), routinely advocates for unlimited aid, even co-sponsoring HR 7212 to increase military assistance to Israel. How many international tribunals will it take before the 'enablers' in Washington are considered complicit rather than merely supportive?
