Nine Democrats, Plus Rand Paul, Join Bernie Sanders’ Anti-Israel ResolutionJoel B. Pollak 17 Jan 2024
Eleven Senators voted for a resolution by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that would have demanded the U.S. State Department report to Congress about human rights violations by Israel.
Sanders has admitted that a “ceasefire” with Hamas makes no sense, as the Palestinian terrorist organization has made clear that it intends to continue attacking Israel if given the opportunity.
However, he has continued to attack Israel and to claim, falsely, that Israel is brutalizing the Palestinian civilian population.
Business Insider listed the 11 Senators who backed the resolution:
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky
Democratic Sen. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico
Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon
Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont
Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland
Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts
Democratic Sen. Laphonza Butler of California
Democratic Sen. Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico
Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii
Democratic Sen. Peter Welch of Vermont
Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts
The resolution singles out Israel and claims that Israel relies “heavily on the use of airstrikes and artillery bombardment.”
In fact, Israel has not relied on airstrikes, but rather has placed its soldiers at risk in a ground invasion that has already cost nearly 200 Israeli soldiers’ lives.
