“This [US] administration is allied with essentially the most right-wing, the most racist elements in Israel,” Paul Larudee, from the Free Palestine Movement said.

“They (the American authorities) are endorsing every racist action that Israel does and they are not even protesting the killing of unarmed civilians demonstrating in Gaza,” Larudee said.

American senators passed a bill titled the “United States-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of 2018” on Wednesday, which is going to pave the way for military aid to Israel that exceeds $3.8 billion.

US military aid to Israel has skyrocketed over the past several years while the regime’s forces are engaged in blatant human rights violations against Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere.
