US Congress ‘Happy to Be Lied to’ in Service of American Imperialism – Analyst

A recent report revealed that Secretary of State Antony Blinken misled Congress to maintain military aid to Israel despite the deliberate blocking of humanitarian aid to Gaza. This scandal demonstrates the US’ complicity in enabling genocide by arming Israel, even as international bodies confirm the obstruction of aid to Gaza.

The investigative analysis uncovered Blinken’s intentional falsifying of information to lawmakers while ignoring reports of Israel’s blockade on humanitarian aid. Observers point out that the US supports Israel as a strategic ally against Iran, overlooking violations of international law. Analysts emphasize Congress’s willingness to turn a blind eye to lies that advance imperial interests, highlighting a pattern of deception in service of American hegemony.
