Josephine Guilbeau, a US Army veteran, has delivered an impassioned rebuke of Israel’s starvation policy against Palestinians during a news conference outside the US Capitol.
“I have been screaming, as a conservative Christian, to my Republican leaders to stop funding a genocide,” she said.
“But what I am witnessing this week [is] the forced starvation of babies. They are not allowing baby formula to reach babies. The level of evil that it takes to make a decision to starve a baby as ameans of war, as a weapon of war – what have we come to as a humanity? What have we come to as a country?”
Guilbeau told newsmen separately that she is encouraged that more conservative figures in US politics are speaking out against Israeli atrocities.
She said the “tide is definitely turning” on the right to oppose unconditional support for Israel.
