Genocide in Gaza: America's Complicity Cannot Be Ignored

By Ken Jackson | The Ken Jackson Experience

Let’s be clear: what’s happening in Gaza is not just a conflict. It’s not just a “war.” It is a genocide. And the United States is not a bystander—it is an active accomplice.

Gaza Genocide

The Human Cost in Gaza

Since October 2023, the world has watched in horror as Gaza has been reduced to rubble. Entire neighborhoods leveled. Hospitals bombed. Journalists killed. Water and electricity cut off. Humanitarian aid blocked. More than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed—many of them women and children. And the death toll continues to climb every single day.

This is not war. This is ethnic cleansing. A systematic campaign of annihilation against an entire population under the guise of "self-defense."

And yet… the bombs keep falling, and the silence from American leaders is deafening.

What Is Genocide?

Let’s define it. The United Nations defines genocide as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group."

Killing civilians? Starving children? Targeting hospitals, schools, and places of worship? These are not just war crimes. They are textbook definitions of genocide.

And still, the U.S. government sends billions of dollars in military aid to Israel—fueling the destruction, blocking ceasefire resolutions at the U.N., and silencing criticism through political pressure and media spin.

The Role of the United States: More Than Just Support

Let’s break this down.

• Military Aid: The U.S. gives Israel $3.8 billion a year in aid, largely for weapons. That’s our tax money funding bombs that fall on refugee camps and ambulances.

• Diplomatic Cover: The U.S. has used its veto power at the United Nations to block ceasefire resolutions, isolating itself from the international community.

• Media Narrative: The corporate media in the U.S. parrots the language of "both sides," refusing to call this what it is. Meanwhile, Palestinian voices are silenced, shadowbanned, and dismissed as "radical."

• Suppression at Home: Americans protesting this genocide—especially Black, brown, Arab, and Muslim students—are labeled antisemitic, attacked by politicians, and even placed on watchlists.

Silence = Complicity

When you stay silent in the face of genocide, you are complicit.

When your government provides the weapons, shields the perpetrators from international law, and criminalizes protest at home, it is complicit.

We cannot claim to stand for democracy, human rights, and justice while financing and defending a government that is committing war crimes in real time.

This is not just a foreign policy issue. This is a moral reckoning.

What We Must Demand

1. Immediate and permanent ceasefire.

2. End U.S. military aid to Israel.

3. Support international war crimes investigations.

4. Defend the right to protest and speak out in solidarity.

5. Hold our elected leaders accountable for complicity in mass murder.

We are witnessing one of the worst atrocities of the 21st century. And history is watching.

Just like Rwanda. Just like Bosnia. Just like apartheid South Africa. The world will remember who spoke out—and who looked away.

Final Thoughts

You don't have to be Palestinian to care.You don’t have to be Muslim to be outraged.You don’t even have to know the history of the region to recognize the humanity being stripped away.

You just have to be human.

And if you are human, you must speak.

Because silence is no longer an option.
