#BernieSanders Lost Vote to Block Arms for #Israel, Says U.S. Is “Funding the Starvation of Children in #Gaza"

Sanders’s resolutions to block arms sales to Israel gained momentum, but ran headlong into #WhiteHouse opposition.

"The Senate voted down on Wednesday a long-shot effort by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and a handful of Democrats to block the sales of offensive weapons to Israel, amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in the northern Gaza Strip.

"Sanders’s bid to halt the sale of tank rounds, mortar rounds, and missile guidance kits faced long odds in the Senate from the start, with opposition from the White House and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The math is poised to worsen when a Republican majority takes office in January.

"Not a single Republican voted for the trio of resolutions offered by Sanders. The most support one of the resolutions drew was 19 votes, less than half the Democratic caucus.

"Speaking from the floor, Sanders said that senators who condemned human rights violations by repressive regimes without similarly condemning Israel would face mockery."

We Beg Your Pardon America

Gil Scott- Heron

"They call it “due process” and some people are overdue
We beg your pardon, America
Somebody said, “Brotherman gonna break a window, gonna steal a hubcap, gonna smoke a joint, a brotherman gonna go to jail”
The man who tried to steal America is not in jail
“Get caught with a nickel bag, brotherman. Get caught with a nickel bag,” sisterlady on your way to get your hair fixed
“You'll do Big Ben, and Big Ben is time”
But a man who tried to fix America will not do time."

Netanyahu and Biden governments in meltdown again as three countries bypass US veto and declare Palestine a state

The US and Israeli governments have reacted with fury to announcements by three European governments, at the same time, that they are recognising Palestinian statehood. Ireland, Norway and Spain have all now formally declared Palestine to be a state.
