Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today announced Senate votes on his two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) to block the sale of $8.8 billion in U.S. bombs and other munitions to Israel, including more than 35,000 massive 2,000-pound bombs. Floor debate on Sanders’ JRDs will begin around 1:30 p.m. ET, subject to change based on the Senate schedule.

        Of course it’s not funny, as it perfectly displays the hypocrisy of many on the left.

        Why even engage if that was the case? You could have reasonably countered his point, not for him, but for the other readers on this thread.

        You’re absolutely not, but addressing this one particular point while overlooking the damning others is an interesting choice.

            Did he voted for the 2001 AUMF in Afghanistan?

            Did he voted for the 1988 Iraq Liberation Act?

            Did he endorsed 2024 U.S./UK strikes on Yemen?

            Did he support bombing Yugoslavia in the nineties?

            Did he backed Libya regime change?

            Did he backed drone strikes in Somalia?

            These questions are legitimate, funnily, he always does the american thing right before backtracking. He’s the perfect “anti war” controlled politicians.
