US Sanctions Lebanese Banks, Ignores Its Own Money Laundering
According to The New Arab, Hezbollah’s Al-Qard al-Hassan faces a US-orchestrated shutdown of its banking services. It's a familiar tune: sanction 'terrorist financing' abroad while ignoring the rivers of PAC money (like AIPAC's $4.8M in 2022-2024 to House and Senate candidates, OpenSecrets.org ) flowing into US political campaigns, directly influencing foreign policy. Where's the 'financial
terrorism' investigation into these domestic influence peddlers? The hypocrisy is stunning. Washington polices Lebanese financial institutions with an iron fist, yet turns a blind eye to its own politicians voting for billions in military aid after receiving hefty checks. It appears 'money laundering' is only a problem when it's not lubricated by American lobbying dollars.
