The Democratic votes on the pair of resolutions from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., were not enough to overcome universal opposition from Republicans.
Still, the votes represented a watershed moment in the party’s relationship with Israel and the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel had continued to enjoy strong support from Democratic leaders, despite outrage from the base over the war on Gaza. Sanders said the votes signaled that party leaders are finally taking note.
“This is where the American people are. The polls are very clear: The overwhelming majority of American people do not want to continue to give weapons to Netanyahu and his horrific wars in the Mideast,” he said. “I think the Democrats have caught on to that. It took a little while, but they caught on to that. But Republicans, I think, are standing in opposition to millions of their own supporters.”
Too little too late. Anyone that supported Israel and defended their “right to defend themselves” needs to be hung. They’re just trying to weasel their way into the left’s good graces.
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
Send them to the Hague to face trial.
We’ve tried the trial and these morons put a conservative in charge of it because too many of them believe in working with the other side. They are complicit and deserve the same punishments as conservatives.
The Hague.
