Joe Sacco: Events in Gaza Are Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity
American journalist and artist Joe Sacco, known for his graphic journalism, described the ongoing events in Gaza as genocide and crimes against humanity. He accused the United States of providing military and diplomatic support to Israel, implicating Washington in daily killings using U.S.-manufactured weapons. Sacco called for accountability for both Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu.
Sacco’s Sharp Criticism
Joe Sacco, whose work focuses on war and humanitarian crises, expressed his strong views in a recent interview. He argued that the U.S., by supplying weapons to Israel and protecting it on the international stage, is actively complicit in the violence in Gaza.
“Every day that civilians are killed, the U.S. shares responsibility,” Sacco emphasized.
He further pointed out that much of the military equipment used in attacks on Gaza is manufactured in the U.S., while American diplomatic support obstructs international efforts to stop the violence.
A Call for Accountability
Sacco believes that the leaders of both nations must be held accountable for their actions. “Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu must answer for their crimes. This is not just a political crisis; it’s a crime against humanity,” he declared.
Context
The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire. According to the UN, thousands of civilians have fallen victim to the conflict, while access to essential resources like water, food, and medical aid is severely restricted. Despite this, the U.S. continues to offer substantial support to Israel, drawing criticism from human rights organizations and activists worldwide.
Public Reaction
Sacco’s statement has sparked significant debate on social media. Many support his stance, accusing the U.S. of double standards and inaction in the face of a humanitarian catastrophe. Others, however, dismiss his remarks as biased and unfounded.
