Maybe a crack in the up until now unquestioned US support of Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza. All it took was the deaths of 7 people connected to a celebrity chef. Israel murdering 30,000 civilians didn't do it.Israel has somehow managed to be the top recipient of US foreign aid for the last few decades. It was only bumped from the number one spot a few times while the US was pouring money into Iraq and Afghanistan after it blew them both up.We don't have answers about why Israel keeps getting blank checks from the US Treasury, but we have a lot of questions.Some reading:https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/pelosi-joins-call-for-biden-to-stop-transfer-of-us-weapons-to-israel/ar-BB1lb1vphttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/02/us-military-aid-israel-gaza-biden/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/10/congress-member-pro-israel-donations-military-supporthttps://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=All&ind=Q05&recipdetail=Shttps://web.archive.org/web/20091001141038/http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20160307213842/https://www.thenation.com/article/aipacs-complaint/https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4578465-pelosi-democratic-lawmakers-urge-biden-conditions-israel-military-aidhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/18/us-supply-weapons-israel-alleged-abuses-human-rightshttps://www.fastcompany.com/91058467/who-is-jeff-yass-billionaire-donating-to-republicans-who-flipped-on-bytedance-tiktok-banMusic:Airglow - Spliff and Wesson (CC-BY)Blear Moon - Maples (CC-BY)Catch up with us on the Wetwired Discord.discord.gg/fr62mpUy5cFollow us:Twitter at twitter.com/wetwiredpodInstagram at instagram.com/wetwiredpodBluesky at bsky.app/profile/wetwired.bsky.social
