The US must stop the blind support of Israel

TEHRAN (defapress) - "While much of the media is focused on the drama of the U.S. presidential election, we must not lose sight of what is happening in Gaza, where an unprecedented humanitarian crisis continues to get even worse", Sanders stated.

Sanders noted that since the start of the Israeli regime’s invasion of Gaza, more than 38,000 people have been killed and over 80,000 others injured. He also pointed out that 9 out of 10 Palestinians in Gaza have been displaced, with many forced to relocate multiple times.

He mentioned, "Israel continues to restrict the entry of UN humanitarian aid trucks into Gaza, prevent the entry of key humanitarian items, and obstruct aid workers’ access to many areas. These restrictions have prevented aid organizations from setting up a sustained, effective response. Nine in ten Gazans – 1.9 million people – have been driven from their homes. Many people have been displaced four or five times, and most do not have homes to return to, with more than 60 percent of residential buildings damaged or destroyed."

He emphasized that the results are catastrophic.

Despite this widespread horror and violation of international laws, the United States continues to provide billions of dollars in financial aid and thousands of bombs and other military equipment to support the Israeli regime in the war on Gaza, he further said.

It is this blind and irrational support that “makes us complicit” in the Israeli crimes in Gaza, Sanders asserted.
