Bernie Sanders: U.S. Has Funded 70% of Gaza War — “We Are Paying for the Cruelty”
March 6, 2026
Senator Bernie Sanders just took to the floor with a message that should stop every American in their tracks. We aren’t just “”supporting”” an ally; we are the primary investors in a catastrophe. 70% of the Gaza war has been paid for by American taxpayer dollars. $22 Billion. That is the price tag for the destruction of an entire generation. While our own infrastructure crumbles, our money is being used to create “”miles and miles of rubble.”” Sanders didn’t just speak in generalities—he read the names. Names of children. 18,000 of them dead. 12,000 under the age of 12.

English Script:
Bernie Sanders: Here is the list. These are the names of children published in the Washington Post today that have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza. The United Nations reports that more than 18,000 children have been killed since this war began. I should mention that more than 12,000 of these children were under the age of 12, and more than 3000 children in Gaza have had one or more limbs amputated. These are emaciated children. Their bodies, in some cases barely more than skeletons. The American people are seeing miles and miles of rubble where cities and towns once stood. They are seeing innocent people being shot down while they wait on line to get food, while they are starving. Over a thousand people have been killed waiting on line to get food because they are starving. Despite these war crimes carried out daily and in plain view, the United States has provided more than $22 billion for Israel’s military operations since this war began. $22 billion. One estimate, based on Brown University research, calculates that the United States has paid for 70% of the Gaza war. In other words, American taxpayer dollars are being used to starve children, bomb schools, killed civilians and support the cruelty of Netanyahu and his criminal ministers.
