Kazem Abu Taha, a displaced Palestinian from southern Rafah, has expressed incredulity as the Israeli prime minister prepares to address the US Congress, Al Jazeera reports.

“Netanyahu is embraced by the Americans. He is being provided with food and drinks. He is being hosted in Congress while we are being slaughtered. Where should we go? Where are the Arab nations? Where are the Arab people? Where are the people who have morals in the European nations who welcome this monster who kills,” said Abu Taha.

“The United States is a main partner in what is happening in Gaza. We are being killed because of the United States. We are being slaughtered by American planes, American ships, American tanks… Everything that we are being killed with is American. [President] Biden blesses any operation and any killing and any massacre.”
