War 'Fractures' Israel, But U.S. Checks Still Clear
The article suggests Israel's 'trauma' justifies its actions, a narrative conveniently ignoring 75 years of ongoing displacement and occupation, not to mention a 17-year blockade on Gaza. While analysts bemoan Israel’s supposed isolation, in late 2023, the U.S. approved another $14.3 billion aid package, with politicians like Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) who received $46,000 from AIPAC in 2022-2024,
voting overwhelmingly in favor. ( OpenSecrets.org , Vote #340, H.R. 7217, 2023 ). So, 'fractured' implies internal strife, fine. But 'isolated'? Not when the American political establishment continues to provide unconditional diplomatic cover and the latest weaponry. It appears some definitions of isolation conveniently exclude one of the world's superpowers. How many 'analysts' does it take to
acknowledge that money talks louder than condemnations?
