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

Published | Video Starts at 05:46

If those same percentages were applied to the United States in terms of a horrible war where our people were killed or wounded, it would mean that over 25 million Americans would have been killed or wounded. In total, since this war began, 15,000 children in Gaza have been killed. And today there are some 17,000 orphans. But it's not just the dead and the wounded. Israel's indiscriminate bombardment has damaged or destroyed two thirds of all structures in Gaza, including 92% of the housing units, as you can see from this photo. (05:46–05:57)
