This Is Our War: America’s Responsibility in Gaza’s Genocide" 8/4/2025

                       This Is Our War: America’s Responsibility in Gaza’s Genocide"

In a powerful recent interview, Palestinian American scholar Rashid Khalidi makes it plain: the U.S. is not a bystander in Gaza—it is a central actor. “It is our war,” Khalidi says, highlighting the direct American complicity in what is increasingly recognized worldwide as a genocide.
The weapons used to flatten homes, hospitals, schools, and entire neighborhoods are made in the United States and paid for by U.S. taxpayers. Israel could not sustain its ongoing assault on Palestinians without the political, military, and financial support of the U.S. government. As Khalidi notes, Israel acts with impunity precisely because it enjoys ironclad protection from Washington.
What we are witnessing is not self-defense—it is mass destruction and collective punishment. Over 30,000 a gross undercount)  people have been killed, most of them civilians, including thousands of children. This would not be possible without U.S. complicity.
Americans must confront an uncomfortable truth: our government is enabling atrocities in real time. Ending the genocide in Gaza requires more than statements of concern. It demands action—immediate suspension of military aid to Israel, an arms embargo, and full support for international investigations into war crimes. Demand  Israel open the borders to flood Gaza with foo, water and other aid and allow international reporters to expose Prime Minister Netanyahu’s propaganda war.
