By
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate, announced on Tuesday that he’s introducing a bill to block “additional offensive arms sales” to Israel.
“The death and destruction in Gaza is funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars, which has provided over $18 billion in military aid to Israel. In other words, we are complicit,” Sanders wrote on X in a post with a video.
“That is why I am forcing a vote on the floor of the Senate this Wednesday to block additional offensive arms sales,” he added.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
