Senate motions blocking arms sales to Israel fail, but pick up Democrat support
[IsraelTimes] Most Democrats reject Bernie Sanders-led resolutions, though size of faction opposed to Israel’s handling of Gaza war up markedly since January vote, underscoring internal divide
Roughly a third of Senate Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people , white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
Eighteen Democrats voted in favor of blocking the transfer of the $774 sale of tank rounds, 19 Democrats sought to block the $61 million sale of mortar rounds and 17 Democrats tried to stop the $262 sale of joint direct attack munitions (JDAMs).
Every Republican senator present and a majority of the 51-member Democratic caucus rejected all three Joint Resolutions of Disapproval led by progressive Senator Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...

the vote underscored increasing discomfort among Democrats with the IDF campaign in the Strip and the division it has opened up in the party.

violations by Israel in the Gaza Strip won only 10 Democratic votes, though some senators may have been voting with November’s election in mind.
The Wednesday night votes are unlikely to fully satisfy either side of the debate within the Democratic Party, as more traditionally pro-Israel members maintained their majority, though progressives added several notable members.
Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia, who built relationships with several Israeli politicians during his first term before growing increasingly disillusioned by the Gaza humanitarian crisis, voted to block the sales of tank and mortar rounds. The No. 2 Democrat in the Senate Dick Durbin
...Senator-for-Life from Illinois and Democratic Party Whip. In April 2006, Time magazine identified Durbin as one of America's 10 Best Senators, so what's that tell you?

and the incoming Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Jeanne Shaheen voted against all three arms deals.
Other Democrats who voted in favor of one or more of the resolutions were Senators Martin Heinrich, George Helmy, Mazie Hirono, Tim Kaine, Angus King, Ben Ray Lujan, Ed Markey

He's been a strong voice in the Senate fighting for job creation, affordable health care, education, sensible gun laws, and a forward-looking foreign policy.

and Peter Welch.
One Democrat, Wisconsin’s Senator Tammy Baldwin, voted present on all three votes.
The Haaretz daily reported that the resolutions’ supporters were looking to secure 25 votes, while opponents were hoping to hold the progressive camp to 10 to 15 votes.
In a speech ahead of the voting, Sanders detailed the spiraling humanitarian crisis in Gaza, highlighting the tens of thousands of civilian deaths and the increasingly dire conditions of those in Gaza. He cited testimony from the UN and aid organizations claiming that Israel is blocking humanitarian aid from reaching civilians. Israel says it takes steps to avoid harming civilians, while Hamas fights among them, and it has rejected assertions that it is blocking aid to Paleostinians.
The Biden administration lobbied Democrats against supporting the measure, US officials revealed to The Times of Israel on Tuesday, arguing that withholding such weapons from Israel would embolden Israel’s adversaries, that it would not address the humanitarian crisis and robs Israel of what it needs to defend itself.
In a list of 11 talking points sent to Democratic senators, it said, among other things, that providing military equipment to Israel is an investment in Israel’s long-term security, as it faces threats from Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

and elsewhere, and that the administration is "working constantly" to improve conditions in Gaza.
