Under Fire: The US Funding Scheme and Global Alarm


Listen Later

The Israeli military is committing war crimes and deliberately targeting and killing journalists to suppress information. Over 240 journalists have been killed, including instances where individuals were hunted down, their vehicles and shelters bombed, and rescue ambulances fired upon.In the West Bank, Palestinians are being forced out of their homes, which are then burned, and those fleeing are subsequently shot by settlers. Data from trauma surgeons in Gaza reveals a disturbing trend of children under the age of twelve—some as young as three and five—consistently arriving at hospitals with single sniper gunshot wounds to the head or chest.Israeli society has experienced a shift toward extreme fascism, characterized by widespread support for the military's actions and openly genocidal rhetoric expressed by everyday citizens. Furthermore, legislation has been introduced allowing for an ethnicity-based death penalty specifically targeting Palestinians. The historical trauma of the Holocaust is being exploited to create a sense of eternal victimhood and exceptionalism, which is used to justify these actions rather than to teach morality.These military actions are financially backed by United States taxpayers, violating both international and domestic laws. Over $4,000 from the average US taxpayer's bill is diverted to war and weaponry, funding the bombing of children in foreign countries. This massive expenditure on foreign military aid is heavily driven by powerful political action committees that influence politicians, coming at the direct expense of domestic priorities like healthcare and feeding American children.To combat this, voters are urged to push for systemic political change by supporting progressive candidates committed to halting foreign military funding, implementing universal healthcare, and investing in renewable energy. This requires removing politicians who collaborate with these systems and redirecting tax dollars to improve domestic conditions.
