TEXAS, Nov 16 (NNN-AGENCIES) – Nearly every Democratic candidate rushed to defend Israel’s attack on Gaza, Warren only one to acknowledge Palestinian deaths and Sanders….who have said nothing.
A ceasefire has been reached between Israel and Gaza, after two days of violence that left 35 Palestinians dead, including women and children. No casualty was reported on the Israeli side.
Many of the Democratic candidates have tweeted about the events, defending Israel’s actions, while condemning rocket fire from Palestine. Senator Elizabeth Warren and Senator Bernie Sanders expressed concern for Israelis and Palestinians, while Warren was the only candidate to acknowledge that multiple Palestinians have been killed.
“I strongly condemn the rocket attacks on the citizens of southern and central Israel,” tweeted South Bend Mayor, Pete Buttigieg, “Israel has a right to defend itself against acts of terror that set back any progress towards peace and will only serve to inflame the humanitarian situation in Gaza.”
Colorado Senator, Michael Bennett condemned groups in Gaza for attacking innocent civilians, despite the fact that no Israelis have been killed, and as many as 35 Palestinians, including babies, children and women have.– NNN-AGENCIES
