"A Genocide Against the Palestinian People": Sen. Bernie Sanders Condemns Israel's Actions in Gaza
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders has denounced Israel's
assault and siege on Gaza as a genocide. Sanders wrote in an op-ed
Wednesday, "over the last two years, Israel has not simply defended
itself against Hamas. Instead, it has waged an all-out war against the
entire Palestinian people. Many legal experts have now concluded that
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza."
