US Senator Bernie Sanders has said that Israel “did not have the right to commit genocide,” in Gaza, saying that Tel Aviv “should not get one nickel more from US taxpayers.”
Sepaking at an event in Minnesota on Monday, Sanders criticised Israel’s brutal war on Gaza, saying that the administration of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “did not have the right to wage an all-out war against the Palestinian people.”
“It did not have the right to kill more than 73,000 Palestinians, mostly women, children, and the elderly. Did not have the right to injure 173,000 people.
“It did not have the right to destroy virtually the entire infrastructure of Gaza, the schools, the healthcare facilities, the water systems, the wastewater plants, the electric grid. It did not have the right to damage or destroy 92 percent of the housing units in Gaza,” Sanders said.
