During the 2024 US election year, Biden blanketed Israel w/ $17.9 billion peace-keeping US tax dollars in that one year alone. “Nobody has done more for Israeli peace than I have,” peacemaker Biden boasted.
Besides peace-making US weaponry, Israel also receives peace-keeping economic and humanitarian US tax dollars in USAID, which supports broad peaceful economic development and socio-political stability and can include peaceable non-military support related to the country’s pressing peace needs.
In October 2023, Biden blabbed Israel had nearly six hundred active US Foreign Military Financing (FMF) weaponry tabs, totaling around $24 billion.
Israel has also historically been permitted to use a portion of its FMF aid to buy equipment from its
own Israeli peacemaking defense firms—a benefit not granted to other recipients of US military aid.
US peacekeeping tax dollars reportedly account for some 15 percent of Israel’s defense budget. Israel, like many other countries, also buys US military products outside of the US Foreign Military Financing program.
The US House Judiciary Committee has (cough) released a memo alleging that Biden inveigled agencies like USAID and the State Dept, to “fund” non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in protests against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his controversial judicial reforms roundly opposed by Israeli citizens.
The (cough) investigation, launched in March 2025 by the Judiciary Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, focused on six US and Israeli NGOs..........claims that the Biden-Harris administration (come again?) “provided” US government funding to terrorist-linked NGOs.
The committee states that the “Bayader Association for Environment and Development,” a Gaza-based NGO, allegedly received grant funding despite alleged connections to Hamas, with USAID reportedly issuing a grant to Bayader just days before the October 7th Hamas attacks.
The (cough) House Judiciary Committee’s investigation is ongoing and is (drum roll, please) “expanding” to include other American and Israeli NGOs that may be involved in funneling US government tax dollars to “undermine” the Israeli government or “support” terrorist groups. For more details, see the House Judiciary Committee website.
Pope Leo calls for ceasefire in Gaza during phone call with Israeli PM Netanyahu
In the wake of the Israeli strike on the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, Pope Leo XIV and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speak by phone, with the Pope reaffirming the urgent need to protect places of worship and achieve a ceasefire.

Amid the ongoing turmoil in the Holy Land, Pope Leo XIV and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by phone on Friday. The Holy Father renewed his appeal for negotiations and a ceasefire in Gaza, according to the Holy See Press Office.
“This morning, in his residence at Castel Gandolfo, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV spoke by telephone with His Excellency Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, following yesterday’s military attack by the Israeli army that struck the Church of the Holy Family in Gaza, killing three people and injuring others, including some seriously,” said the Press Office in a statement.
“During the conversation,” it noted, “the Holy Father repeated his appeal for a renewed push for negotiations, a ceasefire and an end to the war.”
Pope calls for ceasefire in Gaza after Israeli attack on Catholic parish. Moreover, it added, Pope Leo “again expressed his concern about the tragic humanitarian situation of the population in Gaza, whose children, elderly, and sick are paying an agonizing price.”
“Finally,” the statement concluded, “the Holy Father reiterated the urgent need to protect places of worship and, especially, the faithful and all people in Palestine and Israel.”
The Holy Family Church, the only Catholic Church in Gaza, was struck by Israel on Thursday morning, resulting in three deaths and 10 injuries, including the parish priest, Father Gabriel Romanelli.
In a statement, the Latin Patriarchate in Jerusalem appealed to leaders “to raise their voices and to do all that is necessary in order to stop this tragedy, which is humanly and morally unjustified.”
Israel continually gaslights America saying Gazans are all “Muslim terrorists” who must be eliminated by bomb-crazed Israel.
No mention of Gaza Christians.
