Israeli Defense Minister Yisroel Katz on Tuesday rebuked U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for accusing Israel of committing a “war crime” via its policy on humanitarian aid to Gaza, calling the senator’s claim both false and ignorant.
Responding to a post Sanders published Monday on X—where the senator alleged that “no humanitarian aid has entered Gaza” for 51 days and quoted Katz out of context—Katz wrote: “Contrary to the Senator’s statement, Israel is acting in full accordance with international law.”
“The humanitarian condition in Gaza is constantly monitored and large quantities of aid were delivered,” the defense minister stated, adding that aid must be prevented from falling into the hands of Hamas, which he said “exploits humanitarian aid to maintain control over the civilian population and to profit at their expense—profits that fund and sustain terror infrastructure used to target IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians.”
Katz emphasized the need for the international community to ensure that aid bypasses the terror group and reaches civilians directly and securely.
“It is unfortunate that the honorable Senator has learned nothing from the lessons of October 7 and the atrocities committed by Hamas against Israeli citizens and the Jewish people,” Katz continued, referencing the murder of the Bibas children while in Hamas captivity “simply because they were Jewish.”
He concluded by reaffirming Israel’s obligation to prevent a repeat of such horrors and expressed gratitude to the United States for supporting Israel’s right to self-defense “in the face of the hypocrisy of some international bodies.”
Sanders has repeatedly criticized Israel’s war against Hamas and has led calls in Congress to condition U.S. military aid to the Jewish state. JNS

This abominable trash refuses to call out China or Russia or Cuba, even though each of them have FAR worse human rights abuse records. He only focuses on Israel.
Nope, he only cares about “humanitarian” concerns when it comes to countries like America and Israel.
We are all witness to Sanders and Schumer, who are technically Jewish, becoming among the worst enemies of Israel and of Jews. It is incumbent on all those Jews who are constituents to vote these terror supporters out of office.
B”H these 2 were dealt with several years ago.
Send the Burlington Bomb Parshas Qorakh to learn how sophistidated Jew hating Jews express their hate bile. Then he might not be on the Qatar payroll. Either way, they join the old gang In-Der-Erd.
DOnt bother to talk to him. He is a self hating Jew. WIsh he would go to Gaza and see for himself how they will string him up.
How about a Go Fund Me for the 2 hobos to visit Qatar. Maybe Yemen and anywhere else the Ganglet is eager to engage in Sinas Khinnom.
““…October 7 and the atrocities committed by Hamas against Israeli citizens and the Jewish people,” Katz continued, referencing the murder of the Bibas children while in Hamas captivity “simply because they were Jewish.””
This is Zionist propaganda, of course. It’s because they were (Jewish) Israelis.
It’s because they were Jewish. Had they turned out to be Muslim they would have had a lot better chance. Had they turned out to be Neturei Karta members who can’t be used for propaganda purposes their fate would have been the same
He is a prima fascia example of what happens to your brain when you mix college and socialism-poof
You get a 20+ year perpetual student who mooched SSA and welfare off the government -never worked a career job till winning an election based on the principles of Abe Lincoln- fooling some of the people ALL of the time
I smell Bernie’s garlic breath from here. When will the old bag croak already?
Why does Katz call him “the honorable…”?
