Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is dropping his bid to block a $735 million arms sale to Israel, capping off the long-shot Senate effort, an aide confirmed to The Hill.
Sanders will no longer try to force a vote on his resolution after being informed last week that the sale had been approved.
Sanders has also dropped a hold on State Department nominees that he had placed late last week, after speaking with Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, who discussed steps the administration is “preparing to take to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and across the Palestinian Territories.”
Sanders, according to an aide, told Sherman that “returning to the pre-war status quo was insufficient” and that he and other lawmakers were going to “push for greater debate to make sure that US arms sales do not support human rights abuses.”

Hi, Bernie here, with hate to spew
At every last Israeli Jew
Israel’s hands are in our pockets
How dare the shoot down Hamas rockets?
Their rocket fire’s how they resist
It’s just a shame that most have missed
Who cares if some Israelis die*
But Hamas deaths? Those make me cry
Watch Uncle Bern prevaricate
Call Israel “an apartheid state”
His hate of Israel’s so intense
He blast them for their self-defense
Who cares if Hamas breaks all rules
And shields themselves in children’s schools
With 4K rockets they attack
Yet Israel’s bad ’cause they fight back
Terrorists get Bernie’s nod
As does all Jew-hate from “The Squad”
What caused this rasha’s twisted view?
Why such Jew-hatred from a Jew?
Here’s a wish for this evil loon
May he get din ve’cheshbon… soon
*R”L
Yes rasha. The air is free.
Thank U Bernice, keep fighting the good fight.
Biden, Sanders, when was the last time anyone saw them in person?
Unfortunately Bernie Sanders and his ilk did not learn anything from the events of World War 2. Anti-Semitism is hatred of Jews and that includes all Jews whether they consider themselves Zionists or anti-Zionists. Hitler did not diferentiate between observant , non-observant and self-hating Jews, A
