Only 31 Senate Dems Voted Against Israel Arms Embargo, 19 Voted For
Sen. Bernie Sanders, a socialist with a history of sympathizing with the USSR, Cuba and other Communist dictatorships, and of militantly opposing Israel and pandering to antisemites, introduced several resolutions to implement a partial arms embargo on Israel.
Only 31 Senate Democrats voted against it. 19 voted for some of them. Sen. Tammy Baldwin did not vote.
37% of Senate Dems, more than a third, voted for an arms embargo on Israel. This is where the party is at.
And they did so after calls from the White House (such as it is) asking them not to do it.
But consider who makes up the Dem Senate delegation. Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren would race to the podium in support of a call to nuke Israel. Sen. Chris Murphy and Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary’s VP nominee, are longtime Iran appeasers. Sen. Dick Durbin is friendly with Islamists. Sen. Brian Schatz is a far lefty. Sen. Jon Ossoff was involved with anti-Israel groups and had ties to Al Jazeera whose government is a state sponsor of Hamas. Sen. Rafael Warnock is even further leftward and more anti-Israel.
Establishment Jewish groups and the Dems sold these people to Jewish voters as being pro-Israel. And this won’t get any better once Ruben Gallego and Kim arrive in the Senate. And likely Alsobrooks.
The Democrats are becoming a systematically anti-Israel party after already becoming a pro-terrorist party.

Despite all this, the fact that at least 50% of Jews still actively support them is a disgrace. A part of me does not blame people who are anti Jewish-American when they are: aside from this, they also support policies like transing kids, open borders, shutting down energy production & so on

Not great, but much lower than I’d feared. Only 19 senators voted for this thing, all Democrats or Independents–no Republicans.
