Israel's war on Hamas has caused immense devastation and loss of life in Gaza. The United States, despite international outcry, has bypassed Congress to approve an emergency weapon sale to Israel. Secretary Blinken claims an emergency exists, but it's unclear who Israel needs to defend themselves from. The situation in Gaza is dire, with thousands killed and millions displaced. The Israeli government's actions seem to indicate a desire for their genocide to occur more quickly.

Two THAAD missile batteries are in Israel, 'one quarter of the world's total supply of THAAD missile batteries,' manned by US personnel to protect Israel. Since 10/07/2023, 'the United States has spent at minimum $30,000,000,000 defending Israel,' while the Israeli military budget before October 7 was 'about 25,000,000,000.' Over its existence, 'the United States has put 300,000,000,000, at least those are just the on books numbers, into supporting Israel,' making Israel 'the largest recipient of USAID over time and currently.' Egypt is second, and spending in Egypt is 'at the request of Israel.' The speaker argues this shows disproportionate US attention, noting that India and China combined represent more than a third of the world’s population.

The House passed a bill to fund a regime to harm Palestinians and cut aid until 2025. Funding will be further cut if an investigation is initiated against Israel for crimes. The US is stopping aid to starving Palestinians. The government ignores constituents and human rights, condemning other countries for war crimes while supporting them. This is evil and hypocritical. Gaza suffers from a famine we finance, causing deaths daily.

Israel is accused of deliberately starving Gaza's population, committing war crimes and endangering its own security. The speaker believes the US must stop providing weapons to Israel to end the violence, as the current government is seen as a murderous gang with a vision of controlling Palestinian lands through ethnic cleansing. The US is criticized for being the sole supporter of Israel.

So right now, as we speak tonight, there are two THAAD missile batteries in Israel. That's one quarter of the world's total supply of THAAD missile batteries. They are American military personnel, and they are manning these batteries to protect Israel. And that shouldn't surprise you because since 10/07/2023, which is a little less than two years ago, The United States has spent at minimum $30,000,000,000 defending Israel. Israel is by far, no one comes close, the largest recipient of USAID over time and currently. They don't know how disproportionate our attention to Israel and our spending on Israel is relative to the rest of the world.

Netanyahu's actions have profoundly impacted Israel, the Middle East, and particularly the Palestinians. He has repeatedly engaged the U.S. military in Israel's conflicts, avoiding the need for a Palestinian state alongside Israel. Netanyahu was a key advocate for the Iraq War, costing Americans significantly, yet he continues to evade accountability due to the influence of the Israel lobby. The path to peace is clear and widely accepted globally, but remains obscured for Americans. Many Arab nations have proposed a sensible peace plan that ensures Israel's security based on international law, but the U.S. continues to veto these efforts.

Israel receives significant economic and military aid from the US, even when it takes actions that the US opposes. The usual explanation for this support is that Israel is a strategic asset and a democracy that shares American values. However, these arguments do not fully justify the extent of aid provided. While Israel is a democracy, its treatment of Arabs and its colonization of the West Bank contradict American values. The historical case for Israel's existence based on anti-Semitism does not warrant unconditional support. The main reason for Israel's privileged position is believed to be the influence of the Israel lobby.

The US has pushed Israel on humanitarian aid, making progress, but does not judge if Israel is impeding US aid flow into Gaza as per the 1961 foreign assistance act.

Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza live under military occupation, facing daily invasions, abductions, beatings, and restricted movement by Israeli soldiers. Israeli forces frequently demolish homes, destroy crops, confiscate land, shell Gaza, and kill Palestinians. US media often overlooks these Palestinian deaths, while emphasizing rocket attacks from Gaza without mentioning the context of Israeli violence. The history of the conflict and the influence of the Israel lobby, which receives over $10 million per day of American tax money, are also not reported. Palestinians endure the loss of their homes, farms, and livelihoods, with thousands of olive trees destroyed and almost 50,000 homes demolished since 1967. Gaza, blockaded by Israel and Egypt, is described as the world's largest open-air prison, with its 2 million inhabitants facing constant violence.

Israel cannot wage wars independently; they are American wars. The region has been manipulated by Britain, France, and the U.S. for a century, since the Versailles Treaty. There will be no peace while outside powers dictate terms. Tragedies in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, South Sudan, and Libya are attributed to the U.S. government and Israel. Peace requires the region determining its own future, free from outside influence. America provides financing, military backup, naval support, intelligence, and munitions to Israel, without which Israel could not fight or commit what is described as a genocide in Gaza. The U.S. is a major actor in the region, not on the fence. The region will lack safety and peace until the U.S. ceases manipulation and war. Empires divide to rule, and the U.S. is not acting on behalf of regional entities.

This is not a war with Hamas, but rather a war of annihilation against Palestinians in Gaza. There are two objectives: to expel Palestinians, which has failed, and if they can't be expelled, to murder them. The bombings are indiscriminate, killing many to target one Hamas figure. This is a ruthless and grotesque crime against humanity. It is causing Israel and the United States, who supports Israel, to face significant international criticism.

What's happening in The Middle East, in particular with Gaza right now, we have some more responsibility for both sides in a way because we provide help and funding for both Arab nations and Israel. And so we definitely have a moral responsibility, and especially now today, the weapons being used to kill so many Palestinians are American weapons, and American funds is essentially are being used for this. But there's a political liability, which I think is something that we fail to look at because too often there's so much blowback from our intervention in areas that we shouldn't be involved in. Hamas, if you look at the history, you'll find out that Hamas was encouraged and really started by Israel because they wanted Hamas to counteract Yasser Arafat. And he said, well, that was better then and served his purpose, but we didn't want Hamas to do this. Then we have election, then Hamas becomes dominant, so we have to kill him.

Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza live under military occupation, facing daily invasions, abductions, beatings, and restricted movement by Israeli soldiers. Israeli forces frequently demolish homes, destroy crops, confiscate land, shell Gaza, and kill Palestinians. US media often overlooks these Palestinian deaths, while emphasizing rocket attacks from Gaza without mentioning their response to Israeli violence. Over 4,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes, compared to about 30 Israelis. The power of the Israel lobby, which secures over $10 million per day of American tax money, is also not reported. Palestinians endure the loss of their homes, farms, and livelihoods, with thousands of olive trees and almost 50,000 homes demolished since 1967. Gaza, blockaded by Israel and Egypt, is described as the world's largest open-air prison.

According to Israel's former chief of staff, Americans have paid more for Israel's defense budget than Israelis themselves in the past three years. The U.S. gave nearly $3.1 billion to Israel this year, making it the number one recipient of American foreign aid. Some argue that this aid comes at a time when many Americans are facing financial difficulties. Israel ranks among the top 30 richest countries, while some of the poorest countries receive only a fraction of that amount in USAID. Because the money is given in a lump sum, the U.S. pays more interest on the money it borrows to give the aid. Once dispersed, Israel's military aid is transferred to an interest-bearing account. The U.S. also gives about $2 billion a year to Egypt and Jordan to dissuade them from opposing Israeli human rights violations. With U.S. presidential elections approaching, candidates have promised to cut spending to decrease the $16 trillion U.S. debt. In 2010, Turkey issued an arrest warrant for Israeli military commander Gavi Ashkenazi for ordering the assault on a humanitarian flotilla. In 2008, a complaint was filed against Ashkenazi at The Hague for war crimes in Gaza.

The U.S. has contributed more to Israel's defense budget than Israel itself in the last three years. This year, the U.S. gave nearly $3.1 billion to Israel, making it the top recipient of American foreign aid. This occurs while many Americans struggle with finances, senior citizens can't afford medications, veterans are underserved, and schools are closing. Israel ranks among the top 30 richest countries, yet receives a large lump sum of aid upfront, allowing it to accumulate interest while the U.S. pays interest on the borrowed money. Additionally, the U.S. gives billions to Egypt and Jordan to discourage them from opposing Israeli policies, adding to the financial burden. With presidential elections approaching and promises to cut spending to address the $16 trillion debt, some argue the U.S. should prioritize its own needs.

Israel has a right to exist and defend itself, but Palestinians are often ignored. Palestinians are treated as third-class citizens and face apartheid-like conditions. The Israeli government evicts Palestinians from their land, which is then used for Israeli settlements. Palestinians have limited control over their lives, with restrictions on building permits, water supply, solar energy, medical treatment, electricity, fishing, and transportation. The US government supports Israel and considers Hamas, the governing party in Gaza, a terrorist organization. Palestinians have chosen Hamas due to their frustration with Israeli oppression. Israel and the US need to adopt new approaches towards Palestinians. The Palestinian people face apartheid, deprivation, and civil rights violations. This information is readily available, but one must actively seek it out.

Speaker 0 argues that the United States bears responsibility for the conflict in The Middle East, particularly Gaza, because we provide help and funding for both Arab nations and Israel. He states that American weapons are being used to kill many Palestinians and that American funds are essentially supporting this, creating a moral responsibility. He also highlights a political liability, noting that there is blowback from interventions in areas where the U.S. should not be involved. Regarding Hamas, he claims that history shows Hamas was encouraged and started by Israel to counter Yasser Arafat, and while that served a purpose at the time, the U.S. did not want Hamas to emerge. He describes a sequence in which, after asserting that the U.S. has a good system and aims to impose democracy globally, the U.S. pushes for free elections, which leads Palestinians to elect Hamas. He asserts that the U.S. helped establish Hamas indirectly and directly through Israel, and after Hamas becomes dominant, the U.S. then feels compelled to kill Hamas, describing it as illogical. In the 1980s, he notes that the U.S. was allied with Osama bin Laden while contending with the Soviets. He says that our CAA (likely CIA) believed it was beneficial to radicalize the Muslim world to compete with the Soviets, financing Madrasa schools to radicalize Muslims. He argues that this policy produced significant blowback. He concludes that there are many reasons to oppose a certain resolution, stating that it is not in the interest of the United States and not in the interest of Israel either.

"In the past three years, Americans have paid more for Israel's defense budget than Israelis themselves, according to the Israeli army's former chief of staff." "The United States gave nearly $3,100,000,000 to Israel this year, making it the number one contributor of American foreign aid." "And yet during this time, we're giving a huge amount of money to Israel." "Israel ranks among the top 30 richest countries in the world, while some of the poorest countries only see a fraction of that amount in USAID." "According to the Congressional Research Center, once dispersed, Israel's military aid is transferred to an interest bearing account with the Federal Reserve Bank." "This means Americans are paying interest on the billions of dollars given to Israel, while Israel accumulates interest on those same billions."

Two THAAD missile batteries in Israel. "one quarter of the world's total supply of THAAD missile batteries." "The THAAD missile battery is an American made, very high-tech missile battery that takes incoming missiles out of the sky." "one quarter of the world's entire supply of these is in Israel right now manned by US troops, by Americans in uniform or not." "They are American military personnel, and they are manning these batteries to protect Israel." Since "10/07/2023," the United States has spent at minimum $30,000,000,000 defending Israel. The entire Israeli military budget before October 7 was about 25,000,000,000. So United States has put at least 30,000,000,000 into defending Israel in less than two years. Over the course of its existence, a little less than eighty years, The United States has put 300,000,000,000, at least those are just the on books numbers, into supporting Israel. "Israel is by far, no one comes close, the largest recipient of USAID over time and currently." "Number two is Egypt." "We are spending our time, our money, and we're taking enormous risks on behalf of a country that geopolitically is not significant at all." "India and China combined represent more than a third of the entire world's population." It's a massive displacement of people and killing on a grand scale of unarmed people, of unarmed combatants, of civilians, of women and children.

The United States has been the primary arms supplier to Israel for the war on Gaza. Washington has allocated over $21 billion in military aid for American-made weapons. In the past year, over 500 military cargo planes and 170 ships have supplied Israel with 75,000 artillery shells, 14,900-kilogram bombs, 6,500 226-kilogram bombs, 3,000 Hellfire missiles, 1,000 bunker buster bombs, and 2,600 airdrop small diameter bombs. Comparatively, 15,000 tons of explosives were dropped on Hiroshima, 21,000 tons on Nagasaki, 2,700+ tons on Dresden, 16,000 tons on Hamburg, and 1,510 tons in the firebombing of Tokyo, totaling 56,210 tons. Israel has dropped 85,000 tons of high explosives on Gaza, a densely populated area.

The US unconditionally supports Israel with weapons, money, and diplomatic backing, unlike any other country relationship. This support is not solely strategic but driven by the powerful Israel lobby influencing US foreign policy to benefit Israel. The lobby's success in ensuring unwavering US support for Israel is remarkable.

In 2014, Israel launched a devastating attack on Gaza, resulting in thousands of Palestinian casualties. Despite global outrage, American public opinion remained largely supportive of Israel, influenced by media coverage that often frames the conflict from an Israeli perspective, emphasizing Israel's right to self-defense against Palestinian terrorism. This narrative overlooks the historical context of Palestinian dispossession and the ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories since 1967. Israel's PR efforts, which began after the Lebanon invasion in 1982, aim to shape American perceptions by portraying Israel as a victim and downplaying the impact of the occupation. While international consensus supports a two-state solution based on pre-1967 borders, Israel continues to expand settlements. The US government's backing of Israel further complicates efforts to achieve a just resolution.

The speaker criticizes the United States for claiming to support Palestinian civilians in Gaza while providing significant military aid to Israel. They question how this aligns with international humanitarian and human rights laws, as well as commitments to avoid explosive weapons in populated areas. The speaker highlights the increase in stock prices of weapons manufacturers during the Israeli bombardment of Gaza and asserts that the United States has profited from war throughout its history. They emphasize that neither Israel, the United States, nor arms manufacturers should profit from the harm inflicted on Palestinian civilians, and call for an end to arms sales to Israel.

In this video, I will prove to you that Israel is ruling the American government. Since World War II, The United States has given over $260,000,000,000 in aid to Israel, more than to any other country in the entire world. The US sends $3,800,000,000 to Israel every year—about $10,000,000 every single day—for fighter jets, bombs, tanks, and missile defense systems like the Iron Dome. In 2016, The US signed the largest military aid deal in American history, a $38,000,000,000 package over ten years, locked in, guaranteed, no matter who sits in the White House. Much of this money must be spent on American defense companies. Iron Dome has received over $2,600,000,000 in US funding since 2011. APAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, is described as 'the most powerful foreign policy lobby in Washington.' In the twenty twenty two midterms alone, pro Israel groups poured over 30,000,000 into campaign donations. APAC's Super PAC, the United Democracy Project, spent millions to defeat critics like Donna Edwards and Andy Levin. The question remains: Who's ruling who?

Israel has been accused of bombing hospitals in Gaza, with incidents reported in 2014 and 2021. In 2014, a hospital and a rehab facility were targeted, causing casualties among patients. The Israeli government has also been accused of bombing a UN shelter in 2014, resulting in the deaths of Palestinian civilians. Recent documents suggest that US funding and weaponry have been used in destructive actions. These incidents highlight the Israeli government's actions with the support of the United States and Western powers.
