US-Supplied Jets Target Gaza, Again: 'Stabilizing' the Region?
Mainstream media dutifully reports Israeli jets targeting southern Gaza and West Bank raids as if these are isolated incidents, detached from context. They'll rarely mention the $3.8 billion in annual U.S. military aid that funds many of these operations. While Congress debates if Gaza civilians need a pier for aid, the flow of F-16s and bombs to Israel remains utterly uninterrupted and
unquestioned. (As reported by Axios, the Biden admin approved a new $2.5 billion arms package to Israel, including F-35 jets, in March 2024). This isn't 'conflict'; it's a meticulously managed, U.S.-backed occupation now escalating into ethnic cleansing, despite rhetorical handwringing from Washington. How many 'humanitarian pauses' does it take for a permanent ceasefire? Apparently, more than the
countless lives lost while U.S. politicians like Rep. Dan Crenshaw ( received $10,000 from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in 2023 ) continue to vote for unconditional aid (HR 815, 2024).
