Colonialism in Aid: The Gaza Condom Controversy
This chapter critiques the U.S. foreign aid initiatives, particularly the $50 million allocated for condoms in Gaza, arguing it reflects an imperial approach to imposing Western values on differing cultures. The discussion highlights the potential cultural objections, practical issues with distributing aid, and the absurdities of government spending practices. It also calls for greater transparency and accountability in government financial management, stressing the need for a more informed public dialogue on budget allocations.
