The Dhaka Times Desk When the world condemns Israel in such a situation of great humanitarian crisis, when the whole world is uproar over the Palestinian issue, the United States not only supports Israel, but also provides military assistance.
The US has been fully supporting Israel's attack on Gaza since its inception. But suddenly the day before yesterday it was announced to give military support to Israel. Accordingly, the United States is providing financial assistance to Israel to buy the Iron Dome. The Iron Dome is used to repel small-scale missile and artillery shell attacks from 4 km to 70 km. And so, the US is helping Israel stop Hamas rocket attacks.
More than 1500 Palestinians have died in the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel for the past 27 days. On the other hand, more than half a hundred have died in Israel in rockets fired by Hamas.
Israel has repeatedly claimed that it is only attacking Gaza in response to Hamas rocket attacks. Israel attacked the 72-hour cease-fire on Friday after accusing it of an attack by Hamas. Within a day of this incident, the United States announced financial aid to Israel. Last Friday, the US Senate unanimously passed a $225 million aid bill. The bill now needs the approval of the House of Representatives and President Barack Obama to become law.
US history says that US lawmakers have always supported Israel. Therefore, the bill will not be repealed by the House of Representatives and will be passed as usual.
Meanwhile, Israeli attacks continue. There were many casualties in the Israeli attack on Gaza yesterday. In such a situation, the United States has been helping Israel by misleading the world humanity.
