Dem leadership still voting for it

Did Not Vote (3 Senators): Gallego (D-AZ), Kelly (D-AZ), Slotkin (D-MI).

The following 17 Democratic Senators voted NO, choosing to continue arming an apartheid regime: Michael Bennet (D-CO), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Chris Coons (D-DE), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), John Fetterman (D-PA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), John Hickenlooper (D-CO), Alex Padilla (D-CA), Gary Peters (D-MI), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Adam Schiff (D-CA), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Mark Warner (D-VA), and Ron Wyden (D-OR).

17 of 50… that article doesn’t state what you think it does. And each bill has other things tacked onto it that Dems have to worry about as well. It’s not just “vote or not vote” for weapons.

If 17 if bad then 19 voting to stop weapons even last year is proving your point completely wrong. https://www.jta.org/2024/11/21/politics/19-senate-democrats-back-unsuccessful-attempt-to-block-weapons-shipments-to-israel

19 Senate Democrats back unsuccessful attempt to block weapons shipments to Israel

But of course facts don’t really matter here do they.

Vote in April: https://www.axios.com/2025/04/03/senate-democrats-cancel-military-aid-israel

Vote in June: https://ramirez.house.gov/media/press-releases/ramirez-jacobs-jayapal-pocan-18-members-congress-introduce-legislation

Notably those are the ones with terrible other stuff in them. Can’t win here.

Dem leadership is completely and utterly committed to Israel. There’s some voting no but they’re still refusing to distance themselves from Israel.

You’re also ignoring one of the non voters who missed the vote to go on a press tour about how much she hates what Israel is doing.

But yeah totally not what I think
