![]() ![]() From TruthOut, "Only 15 Senators Back Sanders Bid to Block Arms to Israel as Gaza Deaths Top 50k": On Thursday, the Senate rejected Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vermont) resolutions to block the sale of $8.8 billion in weapons to Israel by an even wider margin than in similar votes last year -- despite Israel having since violated the Gaza ceasefire agreement.Had this vote actually represented the will of the American people, over half of the Senate would have voted to not only block arms sales but also end all military aid to the Jewish state. A Gallup poll just last month found that Americans' support for Israel has plummeted to just 46%, which marks the lowest rating for Israel ever in 25 years of tracking. Nonetheless, support from "our" representatives for arming Israel's genocide went up! Social media has been flooded over the past week with videos of Palestinian children massacred and babies beheaded by Israeli air strikes and yet the needle moved in the Jewish state's favor. Sanders, per usual, is only willing to blame this genocide on Netanyahu -- even though a poll taken after the carpet bombing kicked off showed the majority of Israelis felt Netanyahu wasn't being extreme enough!
The complete disconnect between the will of the public and the votes of our representatives when it comes to Israel is evidence enough that our democracy is a total fraud. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made this abundantly clear two weeks ago when he told the NY Times' Bret Stephens that his actual "job" is to "keep the left pro-Israel."
