Forty Democrats signed a letter expressing alarm over starvation in Gaza this week — but only 27 voted to withhold arms.
Article highlights the ones who publicly say they’re against genocide, but vote for it:
However, the number of “yes” votes is far fewer than the number of Senate Democrats who signed a letter to the Trump administration this week that urges officials to alleviate the starvation catastrophe in Gaza. The letter, signed by 40 senators, expresses alarm over starvation deaths and the “acute humanitarian crisis” in Gaza.
And yet, numerous senators who signed the letter, sent Tuesday, went on to vote “no” on action that would pressure Israel to end its near-total humanitarian aid blockade. This is despite the enormous leverage the U.S. holds over Israel as its largest foreign supplier of weapons.
Those who signed the letter but went on to vote “no” on both resolutions or who were absent included:
Senators Michael Bennet (Colorado), Richard Blumenthal (Connecticut), Cory Booker (New Jersey), Maria Cantwell (Washington), Catherine Cortez-Masto (Nevada), Chris Coons (Delaware), Ruben Gallego (Arizona), Kirsten Gillibrand (New York), Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire), John Hickenlooper (Colorado), Mark Kelly (Arizona), Alex Padilla (California), Gary Peters (Michigan), Jacky Rosen (Nevada), Adam Schiff (California), Schumer, Slotkin, Mark Warner (Virginia), and Ron Wyden (Oregon).
I wonder what that tankie from .ml who was claiming Sanders was pro genocide thinks about this.
Hmm yes and putting forward a single resolution to be immediately voted down in the senate PROVES he was just waiting for the perfect moment all along
Does he claim its a genocide now?
Not even 1/4. Disgusting.
