Israels fullblown campaign of genocide against gaza since october the 7th, last year. The war like any other israeli action has received full support from the United States, but the amount of us support for this particular war has been consequential and the death and destruction caused by it have been horrendous. Of in the us support for israels bloodshed has been so unconditional that it has prompted the closest allies of washington and tel avive to speak up and urge an end to the american administrations blindbacking for the. Israeli regime. In this episode of the program, well take a look at how the United States is liable for genocide in gaza, as much as the Israeli Regime is in a nutshell. The United States has been using its veto power at the United Nations Security Council to protect the Israeli Regime. As a result, israels killing machine has been able to keep going unfaced despite the atrocious conducts of war, which has resulted in the incredibly high civilian death toll. The us first veto. Draft Security Council resolution, calling for immediate cease fire in october last year days into the war. The brazilian drafted text was killed on october 18th and along with it hopes that the mass murdering of the palestinians would stop. Us ambassador to the un linda thomas greenfield said that the veto was because the draft did not mention what she called israels right to selfdefense. Already, over 3,0 palestinians had been killed. Then on december 8th last year, washington rejected another Security Council resolution aiming to mandate a cease fire in gaza. Deputy Us Ambassador to the un, robert wood said that text was rushed and ignored us demands. The Palestinian Death doll at the time was 17,400. The third us rejection of a ceasefire came on february 20th when thomas greenfield.

The us stonewalling at the Security Council came even as votes at the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly called for a ceasefire. While resolutions agreed at the General Assembly are nonbinding, they carry political weights and reflect the International Communities real stance on the israeli war, but the United States calous posture and utmost disregard for civilian loss of life has not been limited to vetos at the Security Council. Us officials have been making numerous trips to tel aviv to show support for the regime. Us President Joe Biden made a wartime visit to israel in a dramatic show of support in october last year. And us secretary of state anthony blincan has made several visits to tel avi. Since the war started. Us support for the war has been more than those vetos and official visits. The United States has been replanishing the israeli arsenal, which would have gone dry days into the war, given the intensity of the bombardments and other military operations in the densely populated gaza. Us made military hardware of all kinds has been flowing into israel from ammunition for small arms, to missiles, Land Vehicles and aircrafts. While it is true that Israeli Forces are involved in gaza, they are essentially fighting an otherwise american war. As the war continues, case of genocide against israel is also. Proceeding at the United Nations International Court of justice, which is also referred to as the world court. The final verdict will probably takes several years, but the fact that south africa has filed the motion at the icj and is effectively prosecuting israel shows how the International Community is thirsty for justice.
