A new bill in Congress would extend some U.S. military benefits to the estimated 20,000 Americans currently carrying out the Gaza genocide as members of the Israeli military.

@mondoweiss As with national guard troops. Can't be fired from the job you were doing. A host of military service benefits.
Meanwhile... There are thousands of US Vets who are going to sleep in the street tonight. Many are 'damaged' due to their experience in the military.

Priorities. You know?

@heretical_i @mondoweiss @palestine @israel Some US servicemen and servicewomen are evidently more equal than others.

@pedrobizbikedu They're US citizens who AREN'T (at least active) US military. Zionist settlers, their friends, and plain old Mercs... albeit mercs sometimes have better bennies than the Pentagon offers. @mondoweiss @palestine @israel

2 things which i came to know for the first time:
"U.S. immigrants are prevalent among religious, nationalist and Zionist communities in Israel and the West Bank, experts said. Families tend to be large and often have multiple members serving in the military or as reservists. An estimated 23,380 American citizens currently serve in Israeli ranks, according to Israel Defense Forces." (WP, https://archive.ph/CT6Sf#selection-651.0-651.333)

@mondoweiss @palestine @israel I really hope Americans will fight hard against this unethical & dangerous precedent.
