AMERICA WAR PROFITEERING ON ISRAEL-GAZA WAR

In this video, Author Billy Carson discusses why he’s not a fan of religion or the United States making killer sales from wars. In his estimation, religion is like an ember that has sparked far too many global conflicts, fattening the pockets of the US military industrial complex and other war profiteers.

Take the oppressive apartheid regime in South Africa for example. The oppressors used the biblical Tower of Babel story to push the idea that apartheid pleased God for the separation of people into different races and languages was endorsed by scriptures. Meanwhile, it was former US president, Dwight D. Eisenhower, who said the arms industry represents a hidden force within the US and that it will profit handsomely through government interests? Well… That was in 1961. And the same Eisenhower ordered the assassination of Congolese Independence leader Patrice Lumumba. Much of the Congo’s debacle can be traced back to the US, Belgian and other western governments and firms. They’ve all profited handsomely from the Congo’s vast resources in order to build bombs ever since the Second World War, all the way to its precious cobalt for the development of batteries and other components needed by the hi-tech industry.

Fast-forward to February 2024 and the US senate recently approved a $14bn spending bill to further support Tel Aviv. Many say the package deal is America’s way of prolonging Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip, where nearly 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, mainly women and children. While arms manufacturers stand to reap more hefty profits, the Israeli government seeks to occupy what little remains of Palestine.

Between 2013-2023, 68 percent of Israel's weapons came from its main benefactor, the United States, a country that supplies Tel Aviv $3bn annually in military aid.

With the ICJ’s call for Israel to “take all measures within its power”, to cease the genocide that has seen nearly 30,000 Palestinians sent to an early grave, the hope is that mounting global pressure will eventually prevent future sales of arms and military aid to Israel.
