Senate Speech on U.S. Complicity in Gaza Conflict and Arms Sales to Israel

Published | Video Starts at 16:29

Last year alone, the United States provided $18 billion in military aid to Israel and delivered more than 50,000 tons of military equipment. It is American bombs and military equipment used to destroy Gaza, kill 50,000 people, injure over 110,000 people. We cannot hide from that reality, Mr. President. If we condone the barbarism that is taking place in Gaza today, we will have no standing in the world to condemn the horrors and war crimes that other countries may commit. (16:29–16:47)
