Reports that have surfaced on the large number of American citizens killed while fighting for the Israeli regime in its genocidal war against the people of Gaza have raised controversy. | The Israeli military says more than 23,000 American citizens are currently serving in its ranks. The Washington Post also reports thousands of American soldiers and American/Israeli soldiers are fighting in Tel Aviv’s devastating war on Gaza, where multiple war crimes have been committed against the Palestinian population. ● The Washington Post highlights while U.S. citizens make up less than 2 percent of the entire Israeli settler population, Americans account for about 10 percent of all Israeli military fatalities since the start of the Israeli ground invasion of the Gaza Strip in late October. ● The casualty figures are believed to be based on the U.S. embassy in occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem), and data released by the Israeli military. Tel Aviv has been widely accused of downplaying its casualties in the Gaza Strip to avoid any loss of “morale”, which means the real number of U.S. military fatalities in the Strip could be considerably higher. ● The number of U.S. military personnel injured in the Gaza Strip has not been reported on and remains unknown.
