“It is doing its utmost to violate international law.” With these words, Alan Chibaro, a former soldier who served in the American Special Forces, described the clear-cut war crimes committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip, ignoring the International Bill of Human Rights.

Shibaru spoke to the Anatolia correspondent after he delivered a speech last month about the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip at the Texas Municipal Council, which was widely spread on social media, about the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.

Last February, Alan Chibaro (47 years old), gave an anti-war speech at the Texas City Council, which was widely spread on social media.

In his speech during a public meeting in the city council, Chibaro, who resides in the city of McKinney, north of Dallas, criticized American support for the genocidal war being conducted by Israel in the Gaza Strip.

Shabaro said in his speech: I know what war is. What is happening in Palestine now is not a war, but ethnic cleansing, dehumanization and genocide to seize the lands of the Palestinian people. What's worse is that this is happening out of the treasury of US taxpayers.

Shibaru added to the Anatolia correspondent: I believe that Israel is doing its utmost to violate international law by committing violations in the Gaza Strip that amount to clear war crimes.

Chibaro, who served for 15 years in the US Special Forces, referred to the incident in which 118 people were martyred after Israel opened fire on civilians south of Gaza City at the end of last February.

He said, “How frustrating it is for someone to seek to draw the attention of the international community to such a horrific crime in light of the spread of biased reports that support the perpetrator over the victim.”

One of the most violent targeting incidents in the context of the Israeli war on Gaza, which has been ongoing for six months, was last February 29, when Israeli forces opened fire on hundreds of Palestinians as they gathered south of Gaza City waiting to receive humanitarian aid on Al-Rashid Street (the flour massacre). 118 killed and 760 wounded, according to the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip.

Biased position of the American media regarding the Palestinian issue

Chibaro, who after his retirement founded an endowment foundation concerned with serving army retirees and veterans, pointed out during his talk to Anadolu Agency that the media in his country had adopted a biased and superficial approach to the Palestinian issue.

Chibaro pointed out that the monopoly of some major media outlets on media work in the United States makes it difficult for the American viewer to reach the truth about field news.

Chibaro stated that the aforementioned media presents what is happening in the Gaza Strip as part of Israel’s response to the attacks it was subjected to on October 7, 2023.

Chibaro stressed that the format through which the American media presents developments in the Gaza Strip is “an unjustified act.”

He added: Therefore, when we follow this level of biased and superficial reporting, we discover that there is a huge error in this entire situation and the way in which the news is presented.

The language currently used in the news is “deceptive,” based on downplaying the impact of the ongoing war in Gaza, as Chibaro put it.

Media fanfare does not make us fat or make us hungry

Chibaro criticized the calls made by the United States to Israel to protect civilians in Gaza during military operations. “Honestly, it seems like a joke,” he said. Such calls are nothing more than insufficient media hype, in addition to the lack of any weight to what the United States says.

Chibaro asked what sanctions the United States would impose if Israel did not comply. Of course nothing. This means that the statements of the Biden government (US President) demanding a temporary ceasefire are not serious and are not taken seriously by Tel Aviv.

Regarding the plan announced by the United States to build a temporary port on the coast of Gaza to provide humanitarian aid, Shibaro continued, saying: Is there any logic for the American side to build a port on the sea in light of the Israeli side’s failure to comply with international calls demanding the opening of the crossings and allowing the entry of humanitarian aid?

In his State of the Union address on March 8, Biden announced that he had instructed the army to establish a temporary port near the coast of Gaza, indicating that more humanitarian aid would enter Gaza by sea through the port without American soldiers setting foot on the territory of the Strip.

Last Wednesday, the US Army announced that a number of its ships were heading to Gaza to establish a “temporary” port that would allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Strip, which is besieged by Israel.

It was altruism

Regarding the fact that, on February 25, a member of the US Air Force, Aaron Bushnell, burned himself in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, saying, “I will not be a party to this genocide,” Shiparo described this as a tragic and terrible protest.

He continued: For someone to understand the truth of what is going on, and not want to be complicit in this work, and to sacrifice his life without knowing or having any connection to anyone in Palestine, that is a form of altruism.

Chibaro pointed out that people in the United States began to realize the truth about what is happening after this tragedy, but frankly the matter should not have reached this point, given the street and government’s ignorance of what is happening in Gaza.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip that has left tens of thousands of civilian victims, most of them children and women, in addition to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe and massive infrastructure destruction, which led to Tel Aviv appearing before the International Court of Justice on charges of “genocide.” For the first time since its founding.
