In the summer of 2024, the Democratic Party leaders refused to release even a single Palestinian American speaker to address their presidential convention on the horrific attack of Israel on gas. But almost exactly a year later a reliable majority of US Senate Democratic members expressed To block weapons’ supplies to Israel in response to “universal, illegal, immoral and horrible war for destruction against the Palestinian people” that Senator Berniers Sanders detach The House is leading the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Previously, Sanders tried to block weapons supplies. But in the past, he only acquired a few of his colleagues to join his efforts. This week, the Vermont Independent provided support for 26 other members of the Senate Democratic Cava. They did not win in their struggle for preventing the Republican Senate in the authorization of another 675 million dollars of weapons in Israel. But they really moved the Democratic Party a little further to the right of history, confirming that the tireless agitation of students in campuses across the country, as well as the activity of groups such as the Jewish voice for peace, the Arab American Institute, if not now, the movement of the US Committee on Friends, a fellowship and so many others.
Current Issue
“The tide turns”, “” said SandersAfter voting on Wednesday. “The American people do not want to spend billions to starve in the newspaper.”
In fact, the American people have long opposed the Israeli attack on gas that Amnesty International. Doctors Without Borders (Doctors Without Borders)Israeli Human Rights Group Would be Edmand Human Rights Doctors All identified as genocidal. While Americans are well aware of the details of October 7, 2023, the attack on Hamas, they have long acknowledged that Israeli is a gas destruction – which left More than 60,000 PalestiniansMost of them women and children, dead, and now lead to mass hunger – insurmountable.
In the last survey Gallup is more than 60 percent of Americans Now it does not approve the permanent attack by the Netanyahu Government on the gas, while only 30 percent support the low-level pro-Israel moods since the gallop started asking about it. More importantly, there is an awareness that the support of the Trump administration in Netanyahu has made this country an accomplice of politics and actions that left gas without the food they need to survive.
“(This) is an absolutely violation of international law to prohibit food to get hungry, and the United States in this complicity,” – speak Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD). “I mean that the United States now spend $ 30 million to finance this private group, which is supported by private hired contractors, instead of allowing international assistance, humanitarian organizations provide food in gas. Absolutely ill that the United States government is in what is happening.”

Trump and his administration were and continue to be morally, practically and politically in the wrong. The question is whether the Democrats will be that should be an opposition party. They were not in 2024, at the convention or during the next presidential campaign, and it cost them politically.
Sanders was a longtime but often lonely supporter to move to Israel’s military assistance. He sees progress in that 27 senators have refused – said on Wednesday“Mass fasting in gas is caused by weapons provided by America and paid by US taxpayers,” and when the Democratic Democratic Senator Jeff Mercley declared“Not another dollar. Not another bomb.”
Members of the Senate Democratic Scenery who joined Sanders, Wang Halena, Welch and Mercley in voting to stop weapons supply, included independent Angus Maine who said“I just had. I continued to expect Israel to wake up and realized that they were perpetuating, and that they would certainly open humanitarian aid. They just continued it and I just reached where enough.”
Senator Rod -Ayland Jack Reid, the Democrat rating on the Senate Armed Forces Committee, also supported Sanders’ resolution, as well as Senator New Yampshire Zhanna Shakhin, a member of the Senate Foreign Committee. But the Senate Men’s Leader Chuck Shumer (DY) continued to support weapons supplies, as well as 18 other Democrats and all Republicans who participated in the vote.
(Axis reference to the complete analysis of the voting 27-70. And here reference Up to 24-73 voting for the second resolution of Sanders, which would blocked the sale of completely automatic assault rifles of Israeli military. )
So there is progress to report. But in the face of a global resume over the hunger in Gaza, this is not enough, on the democratic side – or in the full Senate.
“While most Democrats who vote for the blocking of Israel’s military assistance are still a real progress, it is still shameful that most of the Senate voted,” – interpret Veteran’s values of the politician and the allocation of the goals of the Das. “If the body accurately represented the views of the Americans on gas, the resolutions had to pass easily.”
