Why would they pay when they have war mongers like Lindsey Graham more than happy to give them all they want to further his and other's neocon ambitions. Linking as usual @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

Bill Astore asks:

“What elevates sending more bullets, bombs, and missiles to Israel above all other matters in the U.S. government? How does this make any sense?”

Hamas’ Oct 7 military offense action was a great affront to the Middle East “order” that the US has spent so much treasure, time, and lives building. It has, at least for the moment, thrown this imagined order into disarray. Washington is very used to thinking of Israel 🇮🇱 as a anchoring partner in this order. For Washington this is an emergency ‼️ of the highest order.

Thus Biden going way overboard, at an emerging political cost with in his party, in solidarity w/ the state of Israel.

Domestically, Biden knows that the GOP controlled House won’t fund anything that doesn’t have poison pill attachments. The exception are bills that fund military procurement which are easy bipartisan sells. We will see if there emerges an antidote to the IRS poison pill.

Astore is right that Israel has all the military means it needs to pursue war against Hamas.

It is even worse . Every bomb is creating a future "Terrorist" among the children of Gaza. During Viet - Nam , it was shown that due to collateral damage of innocents , each Viet Cong killed by bombing brought in four new recruits.

Just as one see how the west provoked Russia in Ukraine, we see an even more grotesque provocation in action to bring about a wider war in the Mid East. And then there is Taiwan where we promise to do for them what we did for Ukraine. I'd think by now the Taiwanese would be calling in Wang Yi and begging for a reunification deal before they are blown to bits.

As disturbing is the aid itself is the attitude of our so-called leaders.

Video of Biden shows him saying civilian deaths (among the Palestinians) is just collateral damage in a war. And in "his" administration and in Congress any talk of cease fire and peace are not allowed.

And the Republican candidates for 2024? Trump and Haley are notable only in being the most outspoken in unquestioning support for Israel, with Haley going further in pushing war with Iran.

Contempt feels like an inadequate word to describe all of them.

“Worldwide Genocide”? History of U.S. Mass Killings of Civilians: The Monstrous Plan to Kill Palestinians Is Fully Endorsed by Washington [Extract]

AMERICA’S STRATEGY OF KILLING CIVILIANS (1945- )

Since World War II, America’s military strategy has deliberately targeted civilians as well as “civilian objects” including hospitals, schools, churches, residential areas. The evidence is overwhelming.

While this practice is categorized as a crime against humanity, THE UNITED STATES HAS NEVER BEEN THE OBJECT OF PROSECUTION BY THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (ICC).

The history of US-led wars confirms that murdering millions of civilians is an integral part of America’s global war agenda.

DURING AND SINCE WORLD WAR II , THE UNITED STATES HAS KILLED MORE THAN 40 MILLION PEOPLE IN A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES, MOST OF THEM CIVILIANS, EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH PROXY BY ITS PUPPET REGIMES:

GERMANY–World War II: (several cities bombed by U.S. including Dresden, Nuremberg, Hamburg, Cologne); Number of people killed: 600,000

JAPAN-World War II: 442,000 civilians killed by U.S. and U.K. fire bombing.

KOREAN WAR 1950-53: Three million civilians killed by U.S. bombing.

VIETNAM WAR (1962-1975): 3.8 million civilians killed by U.S. bombing and invasion.

VIETNAM, CAMBODIA AND LAOS (1962-1975): A total of 4.3 million people killed by U.S. in all three countries.

IRAQ WAR (2003): Three million Iraqis killed by U.S. invasion.

THE U.S.’ SO-CALLED “WAR ON TERRORISM” has killed up to 4.6 million people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Pakistan according to a Brown University report.

PAKISTAN 1971: Up to three million ethnic Bengalis killed by the Pakistan army (a U.S. proxy) in East Pakistan (the country’s biggest province). Due to this East Pakistan separated from Pakistan and became Bangladesh.

THE INVASION OF THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO BY U.S. PROXIES RWANDA AND UGANDA beginning in 1998 has killed more than 6.9 million civilians. This genocide continues.

THE ABOVE IS A PARTIAL LIST WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE AFGHANISTAN, SUDAN, YEMEN, LIBYA, SYRIA, INDONESIA, ANGOLA, MOZAMBIQUE AND LATIN AMERICA. ALSO OF RELEVANCE ARE DEATHS RESULTING FROM FAMINES AND MASS POVERTY ENFORCED BY U.S. POLICIES GLOBALLY, ESPECIALLY BY SANCTIONS.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (who assumed this post in 1997) was asked by the CBS interviewer Leslie Stahl in 1996 about the deadly effect of U.S. sanctions on Iraqi children. Stahl: “We have heard that half a million children have died. Is the price worth it?”

Albright replied: “I think it is a very hard choice but the price–we think the price is worth it.” The number of Iraqi children killed by U.S. sanctions up to 1996 was 575,000.

Currently, Washington has imposed sanctions on 39 countries.
