"The fact that 40 of 47 Democratic Senators voted to withhold military hardware from Israel is a new high water mark in holding Israel accountable for violating US and international law."
"When we started this effort there were just 11 votes. Now, there are 40. That shift reflects where the American people are."
"Americans, whether they are Democrats, Republicans or independents, want to see our tax money invested in improving lives here at home - not used to kill innocent women and children in the Middle East."
The Senate rejected resolutions to block military sales to Israel, despite record support from 40 Senators. This marks a significant increase in accountability efforts regarding U.S. military aid. Senator Bernie Sanders noted that 80% of the Democratic caucus supported the measures, highlighting a shift in public sentiment. Sanders emphasized that Americans prefer tax money to be used for domestic improvements rather than military actions abroad. The resolutions aimed to address concerns over U.S. involvement in conflicts and the impact on innocent civilians.
