Senate Speech on U.S. Complicity in Gaza Conflict and Arms Sales to Israel

Published | Video Starts at 29:10

History will not forgive us for this. The time is long overdue for us to tell the Netanyahu government that we will not provide more weapons of destruction to them. Instead, We must demand an immediate ceasefire, a surge in humanitarian aid, the release of the hostages, and the rebuilding of Gaza for the Palestinian people. For all of these reasons, I urge my colleagues to vote yes on these two resolutions, which would prevent illegal and immoral arms sales to Netanyahu, would uphold congressional power and the rule of law, and would protect innocent life. (29:10–29:21)
