The United States should be doing everything it can to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East and to impose a regional ceasefire that includes Gaza. Sending billions of dollars in weapons to Israel is the opposite. Thank you to those who voted NO on weapons to Israel today.
@kai_newkirk @forallorg @DWS________ @PramilaJayapal @RashidaTlaib @AOC @jamie_raskin @RepChuyGarcia @RepSummerLee @RoKhanna @RepMarkPocan The 37 Democrats who voted against sending Netanyahu more unconditional offensive weaponry have allies in Israel! These Israelis view the AIPAC Congressional majority as enablers of Netanyahu's destruction of Israel: From Haaretz: haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🙏 thank you @JamaalBowmanNY

The U.S. House of Reps wants to give Israel $26 billion to continue the slaughter of children. We keep giving money to a government that has made it very clear they will keep using it for genocide. As if basic human needs (healthcare) didn’t need funding in this country.
Today I voted 'no' on H.R. 8034, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act. Read my full statement:
Today, I voted no on sending more weapons to the Israeli government. If we want to save Israeli hostages, achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, and prevent a bigger war, we cannot keep sending Netanyahu more weapons — weapons that could make this catastrophe even worse.
Huge. Thank you @jamie_raskin
I voted FOR aid to Ukraine & AGAINST offensive weapon aid to Netanyahu. Unfortunately, he has proven to not have United States interest in mind in his punishment of Gaza, fighting a two-state solution, denying famine exists, & more. He doesn’t serve peace or Israel well. ☮️🇮🇱🇵🇸

Respect for international law demanded a 'no' vote on this bill. Opponents have US interests, values and the will of the people on their side.

It’s a huge deal that @RepRaskin voted against sending more weapons for Netanyahu’s assault in Gaza. Raskin bucked both AIPAC and J Street, a monumental shift in the politics of weapons aid to Israel within the Democratic Party.
Most Americans do not want our government to write a blank check for Netanyahu’s war in Gaza. We support achieving a ceasefire that allows hostages to be freed, humanitarian aid to be delivered, and peace talks to begin. My statement with others who voted NO on HR 8034:
It is against US law to send weapons to any country committing human rights violations and crimes against humanity. Israel must be held to the same standard. Here are the four US laws and policies this bill violates:

As expected, the House passes the Israel military funding bill (366-58). Incredibly significant that 37 Democrats voted NO and rejected AIPAC's role and influence in the party. Roll call: clerk.house.gov/evs/2024/roll1…
United States taxpayers should not be funding lethal, unconditional military aid to a government that has created a catastrophic humanitarian disaster in Gaza. My full statement on the foreign aid supplemental bills on the House floor today:
All of us have seen the tragedy of Gaza. We've seen how Netanyahu's government has used US weapons to kill indiscriminately and create famine. I will not participate in this carnage. When Congress votes on sending more offensive weapons to Israel today, I will vote no. 1/
I spoke on the House Floor against giving Benjamin Netanyahu a blank check for more offensive weapons to continue his indiscriminate bombing campaign in Gaza.
Thank you to @RepRaskin & @RepBeccaB, Jewish members of Congress who voted their conscience to refuse offensive arms to Netanyahu’s regime despite immense pressure from @AIPAC & even @jstreetdotorg. You are the true living Jewish tradition of justice, upholding life’s sanctity.
