‘Not Another Nickel!’ Bernie Sanders Demands U.S. Cut Off Netanyahu and His ‘Extremist’ Government Until Gaza Conditions Improve
(Via Mediaite)
EXCERPT:
SANDERS: “I don’t know what the straw will be, but here’s where we are right now. As you know, there is a supplemental bill that passed the Senate against my vote. I think, if I’m not mistaken, I was the only member of the Senate to vote against that, specifically because of $14 billion in there going to Israel, including $10 billion, $10 billion for unfettered military aid. Another amount of money went for the defense, for the Iron Dome and so forth, what I can live with. But the idea of giving Netanyahu another $10 billion to continue this war seems to me to be totally absurd. That bill is now in the House of Representatives. God knows what goes on in the House of Representatives, if they’re able to do anything. But that is where it is right now. And I would hope that my colleagues in the House will say, no, Israel does not deserve another nickel at this point.”
