A political analyst says American citizens are getting fed-up with Israeli regime’s violation of Palestinians’ rights and the US support for the Tel Aviv regime, Press TV reports.
“The public opinion is beginning to move in the United States…. I think that American people and even the Jewish, and maybe especially the Jewish citizens of the United States, are really getting fed-up,” Paul Larudee said in an interview with Press TV on Thursday.
He further pointed out that people in the United States are getting more aware of Israel’s violations of Palestinians’ rights despite the West’s efforts to hide the truth.
“They [the American citizens] are learning more and more about what was kept quiet before about Israel’s violations. The Internet is making such information available to them,” Larudee added.
The analyst also stated that the American public will in the near future demand an end to their country’s aid to Israel.
“I do not know what the time period is. It could be six months or it could be ten years…. The public in the United States, will want to stop… supporting Israel diplomatically as well and also it is possible that the United States will not find [supporting] Israel to be to its strategic advantage,” he noted.
Larudee went on to say that suing Israel at the International Criminal Court (ICC) will not stop it from building illegal settler units on the occupied Palestinian land as the Tel Aviv regime has no respect for the international law.
“Israel has been sanctioned many, many times for violation of international law…. so I cannot imagine that it would cause them to reduce their settlement activities. If anything, maybe they are afraid that their impunity will be cut back and that, therefore, they should move faster before it disappears entirely,” Larudee concluded.
The Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki announced on Wednesday that Palestine would take legal action against Israel at the ICC if the Tel Aviv regime builds new settler units on the occupied Palestinian lands.
More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds in 1967.
