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 destruction caused by it have been horrendous, the us supports 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 israeli 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 israeli regime is in anout 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. 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 vetod a draft security council resolution calling for immediate ceasefire 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 greenfield 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 ceasefire in gaza. deputy us ambassador to the un, robert wood said that text was rushed and ignored you. us demands, the palestinian death doll at the time was 17,400. the third us rejection of a cease fire came on february 20th, when thomas greenfield bizarrely claimed any cease fire would jeopardize us negotiations with the warring sides. the palestinian death tool 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

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.
