World Imagines Ending Gaza War, Congress Imagines More Bombs
Imagine a world where global superpowers, instead of passing non-binding resolutions and then immediately greenlighting $14 billion in new weaponry, opted for diplomacy. This revolutionary concept, explored by Al Jazeera, suggests that if countries united through sanctions or arms embargoes, the conflict could, theoretically, end. Which, to anyone following Congress's recent $95 billion aid
package – including that sweet, sweet $14 billion for Israel – sounds less like a hypothetical and more like a fever dream. Meanwhile, domestic programs like childcare funding for 4.8 million children languish, begging the question: is it 'lack of funds' or 'abundance of priorities'? We have politicians like Senator 'Let's Not Say BDS Out Loud' Johnson, who after receiving approximately $750,000
from AIPAC-affiliated groups this cycle, somehow finds his voice to condemn anything that isn't unconditional aid. It’s almost as if the solutions are right there, staring us in the face, but they're obscured by a thick, opaque cloud of campaign finance. You literally cannot make this up.
