involvement in campus politics, the growth um of the numbers of students from all backgrounds who are joining these movements, but this the growth in their strength and bravery and in their willingness to confront unchallenge in a more sophisticated way than i'd seen in 23 years. more than 30,000 palestinians have so far been killed in israel's full-blown campaign of genocide against gaza since october the 7th last year. the war like any other israeli action has received full support from the united states, but the amount of us support for this particular war has been consequential and the death and destruction caused by it have been horrendous.

the us support for israel's bloodched has been so unconditional that it has prompted the closest. allies of washington and tel aviv to speak up and urge an end to the american administration's blindbacking for the israely regime. in this episode of the program we'll take a look at how the united states is liable for genocide in gaza as much as the israel regime is in another show. the united states has been using its veto power at the united nations security council to protect the israeli regime. as a result, israel's killing machine has been able to keep going unphased. despite the atrocious

conducts of war, which has resulted in the incredibly high civilian death toll. the us first vetoed a draft security council resolution, calling for immediate cease fire in october last year, days into the war. the brazilian drafted text was killed on october 18th and along with it hopes that the mass murdering of the palestinians would stop. us ambassador to the un, linda thomas greenfields: said that the veto was because the draft did not mention what she called israel's right to self-defense. already over 3,00 palestinians had been killed. then on december 8th last year, washington rejected another security council resolution aiming to mandate a cease fire in gaza. deputy us ambassador to the un, robert woodd said that text was rushed and ignored us demands. the palestinian death doll at the time was 17.

the third us rejection of a ceasefire came on february 20th when thomas greenfield bizarly claimed any cease fire would jeopardize us negotiations with the waring sides, the palestinian death toll kept mounting and the humanitarian crisis in gaza grew worse. the us stonewalling at the security council came even as votes at the united nations general assembly overwhelmingly called for a ceasefire while. resolutions agreed at the general assembly are non-binding, they carry political weights and reflect the international community real stance on the israeli war, but the united states calous posture and utmost disregard for civilian loss of life has not been limited to vetos at the security council. us officials have been making numerous trips to tell aviv to show support for the regime. us president joe biden made a wartime visit to israel, a

dramatic show of support in october last year, and us secretary of state, anthony blincan has made several visits to tel aviv since the war started. us support for the war has been more than those vetos and official visits. the united states has been replenishing the israeli arsenal, which would have gone dry days into the war, given the intensity of the bombardments and other military operations in the densely populated gaza. us made military hardware of all kinds has been flowing. into israel from ammunition for small arms to missiles, land vehicles and aircrafts. while it is true that israeli forces are involved in gaza, they are essentially fighting an otherwise american war. as the war continues, case of genocide against israel is also proceeding at the united nations international court of justice, what is also referred to as the world court. final verdict will probably take several years. but the fact that south africa
