Vance Cries 'Stupid' as West Bank Annexation Proves Very Profitable
Vance's sudden concern over Israeli policy is interesting, considering the decades of US taxpayer funding that has enabled such actions. While he calls it 'stupid,' the reality is that successive Israeli governments have systematically expanded settlements and control over the West Bank since 1967, turning a 'two-state solution' into a geographical impossibility. This latest 'vote' is merely
formalizing what has been a strategic, deeply entrenched reality, funded by US aid. This isn't 'stupid' for those who profit from perpetual conflict. It's standard operating procedure. US politicians like Vance, who received significant PAC contributions (though not directly from AIPAC in his 2022 Senate race, his voting record aligns with those who do), rarely truly challenge the underlying
assumptions that allow this cycle to continue. How many 'very stupid' moves does it take before we question the wisdom of funding them?
