I mean, you had a child that was pleading for her life, trapped in a car with her dead siblings. As people are trying to rescue her. they were getting shot and killed. This is not a war. This is the pure definition of ethnic cleansing. The same thing when you have a group of starving people that you&#8217;re starving.<br \/>\nAt first they were saying, we weren&#8217;t involved in that. And then they realized, yes, that we were involved with that and they were soldiers, but we didn&#8217;t shoot. Oh yes, we did shoot. But they were warning shots into the air. You have starving people that are going for food and you feel threatened in a tank, you shouldn&#8217;t be there. You don&#8217;t bait people and starving civilians, you do not bait them in with food to slaughter them. That&#8217;s not war. That is ethnic cleansing. That is genocide. That is purposefully genocide.<\/p>\n<p>Al Jazeera: Alan Shebaro is US Special Forces veteran living in Mckinney, Texas. A video of him speaking against US support for Israel at the city council went viral. <\/p>\n<p>Alan Shebaro: I can&#8217;t tell you how many times I&#8217;ve seen horrible things and this takes it to an entirely new level. The US taxpayers are paying for this, which makes it even more frustrating. I&#8217;m paying for this. I&#8217;m seeing what&#8217;s happening to this&#8230; Whatever you can do, anything, this needs to stop. I literally just got done watching the U.S. veto another cease fire, and I was frustrated and pretty much just needed to vent. I can&#8217;t even imagine how it feels for American citizens that are Palestinian. Their tax money going to be spent to kill their own families. I mean, how atrocious is that? We had a gentleman at the city council meeting and he has 11 kids. He has 20 grandkids. He&#8217;s been living in McKinney for over 30 years. All his money, his family, all the taxes that he&#8217;s paying for and he knows that it&#8217;s going potentially to kill his family in Palestine. I&#8217;m going to try to use my voice to do the right thing from now till the end of my life.<\/p>\n<p>Al Jazeera:Alan served 15 years in the US military and was deployed in Iraq 3 times \u2013 in 2007, 2008 and 2009. He is now a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu trainer and founder of We Defy Foundation that provides a solution for combat veterans coping with mental and physical trauma. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View this post on Instagram A post shared by Daizy Gedeon (@daizygedeon) Formerr US Special Forces veteran, Alan Shebaro, exposes Israeli war crimes for what they are. \u201cThis is not&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3823,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,35,37,33],"tags":[],"powerkit_post_featured":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3822","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-daizy-gedeon","8":"category-israel-hamas-war","9":"category-israel-hamas-war-live-updates","10":"category-middle-east-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3822\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3822"},{"taxonomy":"powerkit_post_featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/powerkit_post_featured?post=3822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
