Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has spoken out against the Biden administration's request for additional support for U.S. allies, including Israel, calling for the rejection of billions in military aid for Israel. Sanders criticized the Israeli government's military approach in Gaza, noting the relationship between Israel's fiercest critics and the far-right extremists in Netanyahu's government. He believes that the U.S. should not be complicit in the destruction caused by the war in Gaza and concluded his statement by saying that some members of the current coalition have opined or hoped that the carnage and destruction might be an opportunity to depopulate Gaza.
