Senate votes against Sanders resolution to force human rights scrutiny over Israel aid

Senator’s bid to make US military support conditional on whether Israel is violating human rights in Gaza fails by 72 votes to 11

Anyone got a list of who supported it?

Edit: so far I found that it was Sanders (duh), Rand Paul, and 9 democrats. Not sure who

Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky

Democratic Sen. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico

Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon

Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont

Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland

Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts

Democratic Sen. Laphonza Butler of California

Democratic Sen. Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico

Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii

Democratic Sen. Peter Welch of Vermont

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts

While the effort failed, it's an indicator of where senators stand on Israel's military campaign in Gaza, where over 24,000 people have been killed.

Insider

Anyone got a list of who abstained? I want to know how large the Senate Genocide Caucus is.

It’s fucked that it’s 15 Republicans and only 2 Dems abstaining.

If my arithmetic is correct, the Senate Genocide Caucus consists of 2 Independents, 32 Republicans, and 37 Democrats.

=71. You’re short 1. (vote was 72-11)

I see what I did. I subtracted from 48 Republicans instead of 49. The Senate Genocide Caucus has 2 Independents, 33 Republicans, and 37 Democrats.
