DoomsdaysCWThe Dam Breaks: Democratic Senators Overwhelmingly Reject Arms Sales to Israel
By Matt Sledge
Excerpt: "Democratic senators overwhelmingly voted to block bomb and bulldozer sales to Israel on Wednesday, in a reflection of the Jewish state’s plummeting stock among party rank-and-file and growing anger over the war with #Iran.
"The Democratic votes on the pair of resolutions from Sen. #BernieSanders, I-Vt., were not enough to overcome universal opposition from Republicans.
"Still, the votes represented a watershed moment in the party’s relationship with Israel and the government of Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu. Israel had continued to enjoy strong support from Democratic leaders, despite outrage from the base over the war on #Gaza. Sanders said the votes signaled that party leaders are finally taking note.
" 'This is where the American people are. The polls are very clear: The overwhelming majority of American people do not want to continue to give weapons to Netanyahu and his horrific wars in the Mideast,' he said. 'I think the Democrats have caught on to that. It took a little while, but they caught on to that. But Republicans, I think, are standing in opposition to millions of their own supporters.' "
