UPDATE: July 29, 2025

Tomorrow night (Wed., July 30th), Sen. Sanders will force a vote on two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) to block weapons to Israel.

Take action NOW: Tell your Senators to vote YES on Sen. Sanders' JRDs.

S.J.Res.34 – To prohibit the U.S.-taxpayer financed $675.7 million sale of 201 MK 83 1,000-pound bombs; 4,799 BLU-110A/B General Purpose 1,000-pound bombs; 1,500 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits for MK 83 bombs; 3,500 JDAM guidance kits for MK 83 bombs; and related logistics and technical support services.

S.J.Res.41 – To prohibit the sale of tens of thousands of fully automatic assault rifles.

Sen. Sanders said: “U.S. taxpayers have spent tens of billions of dollars in support of the racist, extremist Netanyahu government. Enough is enough. We cannot continue to spend taxpayer money on a government which has killed some 60,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 143,000 — most of whom are women, children and the elderly. We cannot continue supporting a government which has blocked humanitarian aid, caused massive famine and literally starved the people of Gaza.”

The Sanders-led Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) are the only immediate mechanism available to Congress to block the sale of weapons to a foreign country once it has been notified to Congress.

Most U.S. voters want to stop U.S. arms sales to Israel and end Israel’s war on Gaza.¹

The Biden administration hasn’t listened.

But that could be about to change.
