It is unclear how the United States can respond any more strongly than it already has, in punishing the Palestinians “for their very existence,” says Soraya Sepahpour Ulrich, an independent researcher and writer based in Irvine, Los Angeles.
“The ideology of driving Palestinians from their land and giving it all to the Israelis has been passed out through generations with help from the United States, reinforced by the United States and funded by the United States,” she said in an interview with Press TV on Sunday.
Ulrich’s comments come as US Hawkish senators have threatened Palestine with a “strong response” over its decision to join the International Criminal Court.
Senators Lindsey Graham, Robert Menendez, Chuck Schumer, and Mark Kirk issued the warning in a statement on Friday.
The statement also called the Palestinian move “deplorable” and “counterproductive.”
“There is absolutely nothing more deplorable than incremental genocide being committed by Israel and America’s funding it, enabling it,” Ulrich said.” One must not forget that America is equally as guilty as Israel if not more so.”
Despite the opposition by the US, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said that Palestine would join the International Criminal Court on April 1.
In a statement posted on the UN’s treaty website on Tuesday, Ban said, “The statute will enter into force for the State of Palestine on April 1, 2015.”
