The American people increasingly are sick and tired of spending billions of dollars in support of illegal, horrific military actions on the part of the Netanyahu government. We have spent tens of billions of dollars already. Gaza has been destroyed--10 percent of the population dead or wounded. Netanyahu got Trump into a war in Iran. Thousands of civilians are now dead, including many children, and now Netanyahu is at war in Lebanon--thousands of civilians dead, civilian neighborhoods bombed, a million people displaced from their homes, and 14 percent of Lebanese territory occupied by Israel. What the American people are saying is: Enough is enough. By the way, this is bipartisan. It is not just Democrats, and it is not just Independents. It is a significant number of Republicans who remember President Trump talking about 'America First' and talking about the need to invest in this country, not in bombs and bulldozers to destroy people in the Middle East. With that, I would hope that we would have a very strong vote in support of these resolutions to tell Netanyahu and to tell the world that enough is enough.
