Nearly all Senate Democrats vote to block Israel arms sales

[DigitalDrifter]

A vote against the only democracy in the mideast. The Democrat party is now more aligned with the people who throw gays off rooftops, than they are with Jews.
Wonder when American Jews will finally realize that they have no future in the Democrat party.

The resolutions were defeated with support from a handful of Senate Democrats and every Republican.​

( Apr. 15, 2026 / JNS )

All but seven Democratic senators voted to block an arms sale to Israel on Wednesday in the latest sign of waning support for the Jewish state on the Left in the United States.

Senators voted down a pair of motions to discharge the two resolutions that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) introduced in March to block sales of bulldozers and bombs to the Israel Defense Forces, but by significantly narrower margins than in previous votes.

Forty senators, all Democrats, voted to discharge the resolution to block the bulldozer sales, and 36 of them also voted to block the sale of bombs.

Seven Democrats voted against both motions: Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-N.M.), John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Kirstin Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Jackie Rosen (D-Nev.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).

Sens. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) split their votes, voting in favor of the motion to block the sale of bulldozers but against the motion to block bomb sales.

Every Republican who voted opposed the motions, defeating the bulldozer resolution 40 to 59 and the bombs resolution 36 to 63.

It's called the red green alliance. The joining of Islam and democrats.

Trump is going after Cuba next.

Israel pulling those strings?

Israel made Trump get Maduro?

While it should be blocked, this is an example of hypocrisy on a massive level. Under Biden the Democrats gave Israel billions for arms.

USA is poised to be a NET EXPORTER of oil for the first time since WORLD WAR II.

Good news for the USA is always bad news to communists trying to collapse the USA.

It is good to see that there is some effort to block arms sales to Israel, however the Democrats aren't saints at all - nor should they be deserving of any kind of praise. Remember it is the Democrats who locked us down under Covid, who supplied Israel under Biden. Most, if not all of them are grifters. Don't trust them or believe anything they say. They are not to be trusted.

I was locked down by Republican governors Jim Justice and Mike DeWine.

The Islamic nations should probably round up the Jews and put them in camps.

It absolutely boggles my mind how people STILL see these things as a Democrat vs Republican issue. What will it take for people to realize that BOTH parties are against the people's liberties?

Same with the Rs, they yak about being financially responsible, then they go blow out the treasury. Both are disgusting.

I've been wondering about this for years.

I do not believe Israel has that much influence over Trump. He pretty much goes his own way without caring overmuch who agrees with him or not.

I thought we already were.


Israel is an ally. I see no reason why we should not sell them arms unless there is reason to believe they will be eventually used against us.

Of course Israel does not control the USA.

It's not due to a dramatic increase in US production and everything due to the disruption Benedict Donald's little excursion has caused. Those little blips show up from time to time.

Weekly U.S. Net Imports of Crude Oil (Thousand Barrels per Day)

However we are forced to deplete our inventories of crude oil to help out our allies. While we don't get a lot of oil from the Persian Gulf, those import are down and we are depleting our inventories which shows up as exports. Not really going to help consumers with affordability.

Yes, but as far as the Covid issue, Dimocrats went much further than the GOP.
