Netanyahu’s Gaza War is ‘Barbaric.’
The US Must End Our Complicity
Sen. Bernie Sanders
(April 2, 2025) — Senator Bernie Sanders is the senior senator from Vermont. He is the longest-serving independent in US congressional history and the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP).
Millions of Americans are deeply concerned about what is going on in Gaza today. The Netanyahu government has killed more than 50,000 people and wounded over 112,000. They have destroyed virtually all of Gaza’s infrastructure. And on top of all that destruction, Netanyahu has ordered a total blockade: it has now been 31 days with absolutely NO humanitarian aid getting into Gaza. No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel for a month.
That is barbaric. The United States must end our complicity in these atrocities.

Block the Sale of Heavy Bombs to Israel
Hindustan Times
(April 3, 2025) — The US Senate has voted to block the sale of heavy bombs to Israel, signaling growing concerns over the use of American-made weapons in the ongoing conflict. The decision reflects increasing bipartisan pressure on the Biden administration to reconsider military aid amid escalating violence. While the White House has defended its support for Israel, this vote marks a significant challenge to US-Israel relations and could influence future arms deals.
Bernie Sanders: ‘I’m forcing votes in the Senate to block the sale of $8.8 billion in heavy bombs to Israel. We must not continue to be complicit in the destruction of Gaza. History won’t forgive us. Every Senator who supports the rule of law should vote for these resolutions’.
