19 U.S. Senators Back Bernie Sanders' Bills to Block Arms Sales to Israel
19 U.S. Senators Back Bernie Sanders' Bills to Block Arms Sales to Israel

Just hours after the United States vetoed yet another U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, the United States Senate on Wednesday rejected three resolutions supported by less than two dozen Democratic senators that sought to block the sale of U.S. tank rounds, bomb kits and other lethal weapons to Israel.
HuffPost correspondent Akbar Shahid Ahmed reveals that the White House lobbied against the Senate resolutions and suggested that lawmakers who support blocking arms sales to Israel were aiding Hamas.
In the face of such stringent opposition from Democratic leadership, even partial support from party members is "historic and symbolic." As the Biden administration continues "working hand in glove" to provide weapons and rhetorical cover for Israel's genocidal war, says Ahmed, such willingness to buck the status quo proves dissatisfaction with the United States' role is "not going away."
