From Sanders' remarks on the floor of the Senate:

"Netanyahu’s policies have trampled on international law, made life unlivable in Gaza, and created one of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history. Think again about the scale of the suffering caused by this all-out war against the Palestinian people: 136,000 casualties [killed or wounded], most of whom are civilians. The full toll is likely even higher, with thousands of bodies buried beneath the rubble. . . Ninety percent of Gazans have been displaced from their homes – 1.9 million people. Many families have been displaced again and again and again, forced to uproot their lives and pick their way across a warzone with their children and what little they can carry, amid bombing and total destruction. When these families find a place to seek refuge, perhaps setting up a tent in a so-called 'safe zone,' they are often then forced to evacuate again due to Israeli bombing. After almost a year of this destruction, displacement, and suffering, the people of Gaza are exhausted and in despair. And for one second, please think about the children of Gaza, and what they have experienced over the last year."

Senator Sanders continued:

"What we are witnessing now is not just the loss of human life. Gaza’s civilian infrastructure has been devastated, including water and sewage systems. Raw sewage runs through the streets, spreading disease. Clean water is still in short supply. Most of the roads are impassable, torn up by bombing and bulldozers. But it’s not just infrastructure. The Netanyahu government has systematically devastated the healthcare system in Gaza, knocking 19 hospitals out of service and killing more than 800 healthcare workers. The World Health Organization has recorded thousands of attacks on healthcare facilities. Not surprisingly, with the collapse of the healthcare system under this strain, diseases like hepatitis, dysentery, polio, and other infections have taken hold. . . . Leading experts from the UN and other aid organizations estimate that some 495,000 Palestinians face starvation. These groups estimate that more than 50,000 children require treatment for acute malnutrition and are at risk of starving to death."

Is this not grave enough to outweigh the platitudes of the warmakers' propaganda? If this is not the time to take action, when will that be?
