US senator says Israel has ‘no responsibility’ to provide aid to Gaza

US Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican who represents Arkansas, has said that Israel has no responsibility to provide aid to people in Gaza.

In a Senate hearing exchange with Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin on Tuesday, Cotton questioned the defence chief about comments suggesting that Israel has a responsibility to provide aid to the war-torn enclave.

“Israel is the victim of a vicious unprovoked attack on October 7. Why should they provide aid to the… aggressors on October 7? We didn’t provide aid to Germany and Japan during World War II,” Cotton said.

After Austin replied that the US has provided aid in many countries where it has a military presence, Cotton again compared Gaza to World War II-era Germany. “If you had been in George Marshall’s or Dwight Eisenhower’s position in WWII, would you have wanted to provide aid to Germany?” he asked.



Carpet bombing cities, starving people and nuking cities are war crimes now, exactly to prevent the atrocities from WW2 to repeat again.

Not surprised that an American gets history and today's happenings wrong.

‘Zionism is predicated on ethnic cleansing of Palestinians’

Mohamad Elmasry, a professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, says Israel’s war on Gaza and its US backing highlights the total breakdown of international law.

Elmasry said the recent UN Security Council resolution demanding Israel to immediately stop its attacks – which has been completely ignored – was just a “public relations” exercise.

“It’s looking like the rules-based international order is more or less a myth. International law only counts for powerful nations. The United States doesn’t look like it’s interested in following international law, or that its closest ally Israel does. And that’s just the reality,” he said.

While Western nations talk about a “two-state solution”, he said the priority should be stopping the “genocide” being carried out by Israel in Gaza.

“Zionism is predicated on the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. The whole idea is for there to be a ‘greater’ Israel. The land is supposed to be purified of the Arab presence. Zionism is inherently expansionist. Until this is addressed, we’re not going to have a viable Palestinian state,” Elmasry told Al Jazeera.

Until about a couple of months ago I didn't care about any of the conflicts in the Middle East. But since this war showed no signs of stopping, I wanted to know why Israel is so damn bad. A quick Google search provided information on the jewish bible, namely the belief that Israel is the divine land reserved for jews and anyone else needs to leave, if necessary by force. A single minute was sufficient to learn everything one needed to know, because religion is that simple in nature.
