Sanders: America is Israel’s partner in the Gaza nightmare

According to the report of Fars International News Agency, “Bernie Sanders”, the senior American senator, said in a statement regarding the Gaza war that the United States of America should make Netanyahu understand that even one dollar He will not spend money to support his inhumane and illegal war.

According to the “Guardian” report, Sanders made another critical stance towards the US’s support for the attacks. The Zionist regime has said: “Many of us are witnessing with horror the severe humanitarian disaster that is happening in Gaza. Unfortunately, many of my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives and Senate ignore this fact and run away from their responsibilities in Congress.

Let’s be more clear. What is happening in Gaza is not just an unfortunate tragedy thousands of miles away from our shores. The United States gives Israel $3.8 billion in military aid annually, and now all the bombs and military equipment used to destroy Gaza are American-made.

In other words, we are all complicit in what is happening in Gaza, and what is happening is unspeakable.

In recent days, my colleagues and I have spoken with the United Nations, the World Food Program and other humanitarian organizations that are working to deal with the tragedy in Gaza. The end result of our talks is that the coming weeks could literally be fateful days for tens of thousands of people in Gaza.

If we see a dramatic improvement soon Without humanitarian access, countless innocent people, including thousands of children, may die from dehydration, diarrhea, preventable diseases, and starvation. In this regard, the World Health Organization has predicted that even the number of deaths caused by disease and hunger can exceed the very high number of people killed in the war so far.

More than 2 thousand Palestinians in This war has killed and wounded 62 thousand others, 70% of whom are women and children. It is said that thousands more people have been trapped under the rubble and at least 152 UN aid workers have been killed so far, which is more than in any other war.

Unbelievable About 1.7 million people have been thrown out of their homes. This population constitutes nearly 80% of the population of Gaza. All these are people who have no water, no food to eat, not even enough fuel and medical equipment for treatment, and they don’t know what the future holds.

About 70 A percentage of residential units in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed. Many of Gaza’s critical infrastructures, including water wells, bakeries, power plants, and sewage treatment facilities, are also out of order. There is very little access to drinking water, and the amount that is available is often contaminated. They survive on 5 to 2 liters of water per day, which is much less than what their body needs. Lack of access to clean water has led to an increase in diseases that are transmitted through contaminated water. Diseases such as diarrhea, which now accounts for 10% of all deaths of children under 5 years of age in the world.

In the current situation in Gaza, the United Nations has reported more than 158,000 cases of children under 5 years of age report diarrhea. This is despite the fact that this figure was almost 4,000 people before the start of the war. Under the influence of these conditions, many humanitarian groups say that they are afraid that thousands of children will die of diarrhea before they die of starvation. .

Famine is spreading in Gaza. Although there were 97 bakeries in Gaza before the war, now this number has decreased to 15, and most of them are inactive due to the air strikes and lack of flour and fuel. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children go to bed hungry every night, and according to the United Nations, about 570,000 people in Gaza are facing “catastrophic hunger” that equates to famine.

Such a death is termed as “wasting” which is horrifying to even think about yet this is what we are watching. Gaza’s health and care systems are also under severe pressure and most of the medical and health centers have become unusable or are operating with very little capacity. Meanwhile, 337 health workers have also been killed.

With this amount of lack of facilities, about 180 women give birth in Gaza every day and receive completely inadequate medical care. Many of these women are facing serious complications and their children will experience lifelong scars from this war.

This is the life of the people of Gaza today. The American people should not ignore it. The Biden administration should not ignore it. The Biden administration should not ignore this situation. Congress should not ignore it. We cannot ignore what caused this tragedy. Civilians have also failed, and every humanitarian move for the people of Gaza is made after weeks of delay and under the influence of foreign pressure.

The result is that today only 20 Up to 30% of what is needed from humanitarian aid goes into Gaza. Israel’s strict border checks are the main cause of this crisis. The United States is complicit in this nightmare. We have to put an end to it.

This war is being waged mainly with American weapons and equipment, and this means that the United States is a partner in this nightmare. We must end this situation. The United States should use its leverage to force Netanyahu to change his approach. to implement in the US Senate, and that is the approval of a resolution that requires the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to report any actions to violate human rights that may have occurred in Israel’s military operations in Gaza.

The resolution in question is based on the United States law, according to which any security assistance or military equipment provided to any country must be used in line with internationally recognized principles of human rights. Most of the American people now know that we cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the suffering of Gaza. Congress must act. Prime Minister Netanyahu recently rejected the two-state solution and said that he should have the ability to say no even to his best friends. Now is the time for the United States to say no to Netanyahu.

The United States must let Netanyahu know that we will not spend a single dollar supporting his inhumane and illegal war. we will not We must use our leverage to end the indiscriminate bombing, establish a humanitarian ceasefire to help those who are suffering and free the hostages in Gaza.
