Bernie Sanders, the left-wing independent senator from Vermont, continues to accuse Israel of an “immoral” response to the October terrorist attacks.
“The issues we face regarding Israel and Gaza are not complex. We recognize that Hamas's barbaric terrorist attacks were the start of this war, but Israel's military response is grossly disproportionate. We must also recognize that Israel's war against the Palestinian people is immoral and violates international law. “You need to understand that a lot has been done with the statement.
“Congress is working to pass a supplemental funding bill that includes $10 billion in unconditional military aid to the right-wing Netanyahu regime, which continues its brutal war against the Palestinian people. Enough is enough. Congress must deny the funding. No, American taxpayers. Nations must no longer be complicit in destroying the lives of innocent men, women, and children in Gaza,” Sanders declared.
Sanders expressed similar sentiments last month, declaring: letter President Joe Biden said: “It is appropriate to support Israel's defense systems that protect its civilian population from missile and rocket attacks, but these defense systems, which are included in the proposed additional foreign assistance plan, are It would be irresponsible to provide an additional $10.1 billion in military aid beyond the “aid package.” ”
“The Netanyahu government's current military approach is immoral and violates international law, and the United States must end its complicity in these actions,” Sanders said in a December letter.
Israel went to war last year after terrorists raped, kidnapped and massacred people.
As stated by the Gaza Ministry of Health: Associated Press reported that more than 22,400 people were killed, more than two-thirds of whom were women and children.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted that Israel was working to avoid civilian casualties.
“Israel is doing its best to minimize civilian casualties by distributing leaflets, sending text messages, and using other means to warn Gazans not to harm them. “Hamas, by contrast, is doing everything in its power to keep Palestinians out of harm's way, often at gunpoint,” Netanyahu said. I got it. As he wrote in a Wall Street Journal article last month:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts, accused Israel of “disregarding Palestinian lives.”
“When it comes to military aid to Israel, the United States cannot write a blank check to a right-wing government that has shown an appalling disregard for Palestinian lives. We should use every tool at our disposal to move toward a lasting peace,” Warren said. tweeted.
