He referenced United Nations reports estimating that more than 18,000 children have been killed since the war began, with over 12,000 of them under the age of 12. He also noted that more than 3,000 children have lost one or more limbs, describing their condition as “emaciated” and in some cases “barely more than skeletons.” According to Sanders, over 1,000 people have been killed while standing in line for food, a stark example of the starvation crisis. He described the destruction as “miles and miles of rubble where cities and towns once stood” and accused Israeli forces of carrying out “war crimes… in plain view.”⁠⁠He criticized U.S. financial backing of Israel’s operations, stating that the United States has provided more than \$22 billion since the conflict began. Citing Brown University research, Sanders said that American taxpayers have funded approximately 70% of the war in Gaza. He framed this as direct U.S. complicity in “starving children, bombing schools, killing civilians” and enabling the “cruelty of #Netanyahu and his criminal ministers.” Sanders’ remarks reflect growing calls in Congress for accountability and a reassessment of U.S. military aid to Israel, with humanitarian organizations warning of famine conditions and long-term devastation if the conflict and blockade continue unchecked.⁠⁠#BernieSanders #Netanyahu #Gaza #Israel #WarCrimes #UnitedNations #BrownUniversity #USMilitaryAid #CivilianCasualties #StarvationCrisis #HumanitarianCrisis #Palestine #MiddleEastConflict⁠⁠Our taxpayer dollars are being used to starve children, bomb schools & gun down hungry people as they wait for aid. repost @sensanders⁠⁠Help this information get to more voters. 🇺🇸 A well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to Democracy.—Thomas JeffersonView all 3,089 comments https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNJFvccpF-o/?igsh=MWhicTc3dGVzNWIzcQ==
