US Senator Bernie Sanders asked: How can his country condemn the Russian bombing of Ukraine while funding Netanyahu's war machine?

He continued by saying, in a blog post on his account on the “X” platform: How can we criticize the human rights record in Iran and China, and ignore the human rights of the Palestinian people?

Two days ago, US Senator Bernie Sanders criticized the Senate’s intention to provide military aid to Israel and said that the Senate “is considering granting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu $14 billion to continue the indiscriminate bombing of the Gaza Strip.”

US Senator Sanders denounced the matter, wondering how the Senate could seriously criticize “Putin’s war crimes in Ukraine” while ignoring the killing of 27,000 Palestinian children.

Last month, Sanders accused the United States of being complicit in “the nightmare that the Palestinian people are experiencing.”

In a speech before the Senate, Sanders stressed that he finds it difficult to understand why Congress does not act to stop the suffering of the Palestinians and address the humanitarian catastrophe they face in Gaza.

The number of dead in Gaza increases

For the 127th day in a row, the Israeli army continues its aggression against the Gaza Strip, with American and European support, as its planes bomb the vicinity of hospitals, buildings, towers, and homes of Palestinian civilians, destroying them above the heads of their residents, and preventing the entry of water, food, medicine, and fuel.

The occupation's continued aggression against Gaza led to the death toll of 28,064 killed and the injury of another 67,611 wounded, in addition to the displacement of more than 85 percent (about 1.9 million people) of the Strip's population, according to the Strip's authorities and international bodies and organizations.
