U.S. Senate Rejects Senator Bernie!!

In a decisive move reflecting the bipartisan commitment to U.S.-Israel relations, the Senate voted overwhelmingly on November 20, 2024, to reject three resolutions introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders that sought to block a $20 billion arms sale to Israel. The resolutions aimed to halt the transfer of advanced weaponry, including tank rounds, mortar rounds, and Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), citing concerns over civilian casualties during the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Despite growing calls from progressive lawmakers to reevaluate military aid to Israel, the resolutions failed to garner enough support, with only 19 senators—17 Democrats and 2 independents—voting in favor of the measures. This outcome underscores the enduring support Israel enjoys in Congress, even amidst increased scrutiny over its military actions and their humanitarian consequences.

Senator Sanders, a long-time advocate for human rights and a critic of the Israeli government’s policies in Gaza, introduced the resolutions in response to mounting civilian casualties during the conflict. According to reports, thousands of Palestinian civilians, including women and children, have been killed or displaced due to Israeli airstrikes targeting Hamas militants.
