I will be DAMNED if i give another NICKLE to Netanyahu
February 7, 2024US Senator, Bernie Sanders spoke on American TV last night with strong conviction stating “I will be damned if I give another nickle to the Netanyahu Government”.
His speech came ahead of a vote in the Senate to provide Israel with and additional USD $17 billion in aid.
Reflecting on the horrors inflicted upon the Palestinian people, Sanders condemned Netanyahu’s right-wing government for its indefensible actions. With a heavy heart, he recounted the staggering toll of lives lost and homes destroyed, emphasizing the immense suffering endured by the people of Gaza.
“Thousands dead, tens of thousands wounded, and an entire population displaced.” He denounced the complicity of the United States in funding Israel’s war machine, refusing to support any further aggression against the Palestinian people.
All people SHOULD live with dignity and freedom.

English Script:
Host: We are almost four months after the horrific, unforgettable acts of October 7th. And yet we also see an unspeakable loss of civilian lives in Gaza. Do you have any optimism for a peaceful future for Israelis?
Bernie Sanders: I hope to God it takes place. I have to tell you that what Netanyahu and his right-wing government are doing right now to the people of Palestine, of Gaza, is indescribable and unspeakable. I mean, we’re looking at 25, 26,000 people who have been killed already, two thirds of whom are women and children. 65,000 people who have been wounded. We’re looking at 70% of the housing units in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed. Can you believe that suddenly, if you look at a 1.8 million people pushed out of their homes, God knows where they’re going. And right now and this is I hope everybody hears this, you’re looking at the possibility of hundreds of thousands of children starving to death. And we in the United States, through our financial support of Israel, are complicit in what’s happening. And I will be damned if I’m going to give another nickel to the Netanyahu government in order to continue this war against the Palestinian people. at the end of the day, the people, Palestinian people are entitled to a homeland of their own. So we’re talking about a two state solution. There are people, Palestinians, who believe in democracy. Palestinians who do believe in improving the lives of people there. We’ve got to work with those people and create a long term solution where Israel has the security that it is entitled to and the Palestinians have a state of their own and the freedom that they are entitled to.
