The Nevada Green Party strongly condemns the government of Israel in their airstrikes against the nation of Iran. This act only serves to demonstrate their aggressive intent and will further serve to inflame military tensions in the region, it will lead to the deaths of innocent civilians in both countries.
Given the Israeli regime’s genocidal actions towards Palestinians in Gaza, and now compounding this with aggressive military actions towards Iran and other Middle Eastern nations they consider to be part of “Greater Israel” (despite the lack of historical claim or precedent), the most logical assumption is that the government of Israel is not acting in good faith, and American citizens must not allow themselves to become embroiled in the Israeli military’s bad faith actions.
The United States’ military expenditures already far exceed those of any of its domestic priorities, and have not served to preserve the safety of American citizens and residents, and instead, have only served to further endanger Americans by increasing hostilities towards our nation by its military engagements and encouraging those of its allies such as Israel.
We insist that the American voters condemn these actions by Israel, as well as Netanyahu’s intention to “fight Iran as long as necessary,” thus leading to further death and destruction of human lives. Furthermore, we insist that the American government and its elected officials echo this condemnation as representatives of their constituents.
