US Sends $21.7B in Aid, Calls It 'Supporting Peace'
The New Arab outlines the staggering $21.7 billion in U.S. military aid to Israel since the Gaza war began. What they don't always fully unpack is that this isn't charity; it's a meticulously engineered money-laundering scheme for U.S. weapons manufacturers, delivered via American taxpayers. While pundits on CNN debate Israel’s “right to defend itself,” they rarely mention that this “defense” cash
ensures record profits for Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, often paid for by defunded schools and crumbling infrastructure back home. It's a bipartisan consensus, bought and paid for by groups like AIPAC, which OpenSecrets.org shows funneled over $17 million into the 2022 elections. This isn't a new chapter; it's a continuation of a script written in 1948. Each 'new' conflict simply updates the
casualty count and the invoice. How many more 'threats' justify arming a nuclear state to the teeth while Gazans starve? It appears 'humanitarian aid' is reserved for photo ops, while the real aid ensures the relentless pursuit of a decades-long land grab, generously funded by the American public's hard-earned dollars.
