LUKE FLETCHER fleshes out Plaid Cymru's plan for the revitalisation of Wales's economy
BILLIONS of US taxpayers’ money will continue to be funnelled into Israel in the next fiscal year, and for many years in the foreseeable future.
Republican and Democratic senators have recently achieved just that, passing a Bill aimed at providing Israel with $3.3 billion in annual aid.
The Bill, co-sponsored by Democratic Senator Chris Coons and Republican Senator Marco Rubio, passed on January 9, only one day after Iran struck US positions in Iraq.
Enthusiasm to push the Bill forward was meant as an assurance to Tel Aviv from Washington that the US is committed to Israel’s security and military superiority in the Middle East.
Despite a palpable sense of war fatigue among all US citizens, regardless of their political leaning, the US continues to sink deeper into Middle East conflicts simply because it is unable — or, perhaps, unwilling — to challenge Israel’s benefactors in all facets of the US government.
