They voted for the continuation of genocide in Gaza
The four Afrikan American Democratic senators, Cory Booker, Lisa Blunt Rochester, Angela Alsobrooks, and Raphael Warnock, along with Neo-Confederate Tim Scott all voted against two resolutions by Bernie Sanders, which sought to block arms sales to Israel.
The first resolution sought to block $2.04 billion for 35,329 MK 84 — 2,000 lb. bombs and 4,000 — I-2000 Penetrator warheads. It failed 82 to 15.
The second resolution sought to block $6.75 billion for 2,800 — 500-pound bombs, 2,166 — Small Diameter Bombs, and tens of thousands of JDAM guidance kits. It failed 83 to 15.
[All of these systems have been linked to dozens of illegal airstrikes, including on designated humanitarian sites, resulting in thousands of civilian casualties. None of these systems are necessary to protect Israel from incoming drone or rocket attacks.
The Joint Resolutions of Disapproval is the only formal mechanism available to Congress to prevent an arms sale noticed by the administration from advancing.] — Senator Sanders
Fred Hampton predicted the rise of the Black imperialist. We now have a group of Black Zionist politicians who have no moral conscious. Supporting the killing to children is as low as it gets.
