Sanders tells Netanyahu: Saying you killed 34,000 people is not anti-Semitic

The left-wing American senator, Bernie Sanders, has strongly attacked the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, stressing the need not to confuse statements condemning the killings carried out by Israel in Gaza with hatred against Jews.

Sanders has told Netanyahu that: "To say your government has killed 34,000 people in 6 months is not anti-Semitic and it is not supporting the Hamas movement."

The American senator added that condemning the action of the Netanyahu government to destroy universities and schools in Gaza and deprive 625,000 people of education is not anti-Jewish.

Bernie Sanders has said to the Prime Minister of Israel: "To say that you have destroyed the infrastructure of Gaza, the health system and 221,000 civilian homes is not anti-Semitic."

Two days ago, Sanders said that what Israel is doing in Gaza is not a war against Hamas, but it is destroying the basis of Palestinian life.

Sanders, who was addressing the Congress that met to approve foreign aid, including military aid to Israel, explained that what is happening in Gaza is not an accident or a military error, but a calculated policy that has been carried out in a specific order for more than 6 months. .

The American senator has also criticized the participation of the country's government in the war against the people of Gaza and said that the war in Gaza is a war between Israel and the United States.

He explained that "many of the bombs and military equipment used by Israel in Gaza are provided by our country with American taxpayers' money."

About 35 thousand Palestinians have been killed so far and more than 76 thousand have been injured in the ongoing genocide by Israel in Gaza.
