US Senator: We have become complicit in the humanitarian disaster in Gaza

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders posted a video on his personal social account, accusing the U.S. government of using taxpayers’ money to fund Israel’s purchase of weapons, which has made American taxpayers accomplices in the humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip. U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders: The fact is that we, as American taxpayers, have become accomplices in this humanitarian disaster. As Americans, we must end this disaster. Year after year, we provide Israel with $3.8 billion in military aid, which is the money of American taxpayers. Recently, the U.S. government has applied to the Senate for another $14 billion in military aid. Although I voted against it, the Senate approved the application, of which about $10 billion in military aid is unrestricted. This will allow Netanyahu to buy more bombs to destroy the Gaza Strip. Yes, despite the scale of destruction, American taxpayers are still funding this war, which is completely unacceptable and a blatant violation of the spirit of the law.
