      Interestingly, my Vermont Senators, Bernie and Peter, voted against it, because it gives Netanyahu more funding to wipe out innocent Palestinian people.

      “The inescapable conclusion is that the Netanyahu government is not listening,” Welch said. “It’s difficult not to conclude that [Netanyahu’s] enemy is not only Hamas, but the Palestinians.” ~ Sen. Peter Welch

  6. Netanyahu has long made it plain to anyone with eyes that his goal is to murder every single Palestinian, man, woman, child and baby. The fact that the USA is financially aiding him in committing genocide makes me almost physically ill. --Susan

    1. Yeah. Much as my heart aches for Ukraine to get funding, sending more money to Netanyahu would be absolutely derelict. I want the aid packages separated and am grateful that Bernie and Peter voted as they did.
