The U.S. government will transfer $38 billion in “foreign aid” to the accounts of U.S. weapons manufacturers to further arm the Israeli government against the U.S.’s enemies in the Middle East.
At the same time, the UN has enacted a resolution calling on Israel to cease occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, rejecting pressure from incoming U.S. president Donald Trump to instead increase support for the Israeli state’s foreign policy.
Notably, the U.S. government contributes 22% of the UN’s budget, the largest share by far of any member state.
Could anyone be blamed for viewing US foreign policy as symptomatic of madness?
