Human-rights report on Israel (Senate blocked the vote)

Senate Resolution, S.Res. 504

What it did

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) brought a resolution asking the State Department to produce, within 30 days, the human-rights report on Israel that section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act is supposed to trigger before more weapons go out. The Senate did not debate the resolution on the merits. Instead it voted 72-11 to kill the resolution without a vote on what it asked for.

A yes vote shut it down. A no vote would have let the Senate consider the report.

At the time of this vote, about 23,968 innocent people had been murdered in Gaza, more than 10,000 of them children, by the military whose human-rights record the Senate voted not to look at.

Result: Tabled 72-11

At the time of this vote: ~23,968 innocent people murdered (~10,000+ young children murdered)

The humane vote: No (NAY)
