With the US Election Over, Israel’s Genocide Continues With No End in Sight | Truthout
Every day in Gaza is a day of massacres, slaughter, death and destruction. Every day in Congress and the White House is a day of complicity, violating U.S. and international law by continuing to arm and support Israel’s ongoing genocide. Both major political parties support funding and arming Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, against the will of the majority of the American people. Since October 2023, U.S. taxpayers have paid for 70 percent of Israel’s military assault, which has resulted in the total destruction of Gaza, the death of at least 43,000 Palestinians and the displacement of nearly 90 percent of Gaza’s residents. According to the UN, 96 percent of Gaza’s population of 2.15 million people face acute levels of food insecurity as a result of Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon of war. | | | | | | | | | | | New famine alert for Gaza where families go days without food Gaza remains on famine alert after food security experts warned on Tuesday that more than one in five households... | | | Over the last 13 months, we’ve witnessed incredible solidarity movements, with millions of people in the U.S. and around the globe organizing, marching and protesting against Israel’s atrocities in Gaza and its apartheid system and inhumane treatment of Palestinians. >From ending the Vietnam War to dismantling the apartheid regime in South >Africa, students have long been at the forefront of movements that made >history by speaking up against injustice and endless wars.

Trump’s response to the student protest movement: “Deport pro-Hamas radicals.” Still, those students remain determined to end the U.S.’s shameful policy of enabling Israel’s genocide and they are clearly not about to give up. Israeli human rights lawyer Michael Sfard wrote recently in Haaretz: | | | | | | | | | | | U.S. signs off on more bombs, warplanes for Israel Despite the U.S. and Israeli governments’ growing rift over the Gaza war, the Biden administration continues to ... | | | “Generations of Israelis will have to live with what we have done in Gaza over the last year … Generations of Israelis will have to explain to their children and grandchildren why we behaved that way. Some will have to explain why they didn’t refuse to bomb. And some will have to explain why they didn’t do more to stop the horror.” We in the U.S. will also have to explain to our children and grandchildren why our country did nothing to stop the genocide. While we are embarking on a period of political uncertainty, it is likely that the U.S.’s destructive foreign policy towards the Palestinians will continue. But so will our fight for Palestinian freedom, equality and an end to occupation. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
