Remember the names of the 19 senators who voted to block arms for Israel
Opinion by Post Editorial Board • 12h


On Wednesday, the Senate held a vote on three resolutions aimed at isolating Israel and kneecapping its defense — and 17 Democrats and two Independents voted for them.

Now we know who the snakes in the grass are.

The bills, filed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, aimed to blocked $20 billion in US arms (military tank and mortar rounds and joint-direct-attack munitions) for the Jewish state.
 
Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Tina Smith (D-Minn.) Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.), George Helmy (D-NJ) as well as Angus King (I-Maine) and Sanders each voted in favor of at least one of the three bills, while Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) voted “present.”

Fine: Other Democrats (and every Republican) voted the right way, but this was nearly half the Senate majority caucus basically smearing Israel’s war of self-defense.

Which begs the question: Why did Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer let these anti-Israel resolutions make it to the floor in the first place?

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

He, and many other Jews in this country, certainly are not pro-Israeli for some reason. :pondering:

Whether Chuckles' intent was to placate or give credibility to Dems' Hate-Israel faction, the effect probably was the latter.

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Schumer is a dirt bag, plain and simple.  As long as wankers like him lead anything, nothing good will come of it.  To put it politely, he is a POS.  He stays in the lead, in the Senate for the Democommies, they will continue to wither away, numbers wise.  He is a fool, on the take, you name it.

He is a perfect example of what comes from New York.  Talk about garbage!
