Bernie Sanders Seeks Global Action To End Israel’s Genocide In Gaza
Prominent United States Senator Bernie Sanders says the world must act with one voice to stop the genocide in Gaza.
“Make no mistake. If there is no accountability for Netanyahu and his fellow war criminals, other demagogues will do the same. History demands that the world act with one voice to say: enough is enough. No more genocide,” he said in a statement on Wednesday.
Sanders renewed his call for ending United States’ “complicity in the slaughter of the Palestinian people”.
Bernie Sanders is the first sitting U.S. senator to label Israel’s action in Gaza as a genocide.
The Israeli government has launched nearly two years of brutal assault on the Palestinian territory killing tens of thousands of people.
“Israel has not simply defended itself against Hamas, instead, it has waged an all-out war against the entire Palestinian people.”
He therefore said the U.S. should use “every ounce of our leverage to demand an immediate ceasefire” and begin the process of Palestinian statehood.
“The very term genocide is a reminder of what can happen if we fail. That word emerged from the Holocaust — the murder of six million Jews — one of the darkest chapters in human history,” Sanders said.
