IRONCLAD US SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL
The Israeli assault on Gaza up to 11/5/23 has cost 9,200 Palestinian lives. The US House of Representatives has just passed a $14.3 billion spending bill of aid to Israel, which will cost more Palestinian lives. Basically, we are talking about a war against a civilian population.
Yes, Hamas attacked Israel causing 1,400 deaths and 240 kidnappings. But how is it possible to root out Hamas militants among a population 2.3 million Gazans, without killing thousands of innocent people?
The violence is spreading to the West Bank, where assaults by Israeli settlers against Palestinians are on the rise.
In the world at large, where the support for Israel is dwindling, the US will share the blame for the atrocities that are bound to occur in Gaza. There must be a ceasefire now.
