Today, I'm introduced legislation today with my colleagues to restore funding to UNRWA. Given the intensifying humanitarian crisis in Gaza, we must give the most effective aid organization in the region the resources they need to save civilian lives.

Last week, we presented @RepBarbaraLee with our “Compass Award”- a reference to this speech before her lone vote against the 2001 AUMF. She taught us an enduring lesson: Even when it’s hard, standing up for peace and humanity always matters and can inspire future generations.

After 13 months of devastation in Gaza and destructive escalation across the region, this week's votes on weapons to Israel show the growing demand in Congress for a new path. fcnl.org/updates/2024-1…

We are grateful to the 19 Senators who stood up tonight to send a strong message: U.S. complicity in the Israeli government’s catastrophic war in Gaza is unacceptable and must finally end. 🧵

You do not effectively combat terrorism by starving thousands of innocent children. You do not effectively combat terrorism by bombing schools and hospitals. You do not effectively combat terrorism by turning the entire world against your country. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

This isn't just about policy. It's about humanity. Thank you Sen. Helmy for speaking out and centering the equal dignity and worth of Palestinians.
George Helmy@ghelmy

No human being should be worth less than another based on which side of a checkpoint or crossing they live on. Perhaps if we keep that principle at the center of our approach, we can do better by the innocent people of Gaza and the West Bank who so desperately need our humanity.

@RepMcGovern Thank you for your leadership @RepMcGovern @TLHumanRights! CC @banclusterbombs @noclusterbombs @FCNL @ursalakl @marywareham x.com/justfp/status/…
Just Foreign Policy@justfp

With likely hundreds of thousands of unexploded cluster bomblets already scattered across wide swaths of Ukrainian territory, the addition of landmines will only increase the number of children and other civilians who will be killed and injured in the decades to come.

HUGE thanks to progressive House reps for supporting the Senate effort to uphold US and international law, protect Palestinians, secure the release of remaining hostages, and send a message to the Trump-Netanyahu alliance: x.com/RepJayapal/sta…

We join @banminesusa in condemning the Biden admin's decision to transfer indiscriminate antipersonnel landmines. This move goes against current U.S. policy and will put civilians at serious risk. 🧵 banminesusa.org/news/2024/11/2…

“These Joint Resolutions of Disapproval mark a historic moment — the first vote in Congress to block offensive arms sales to Israel in United States history,” @HassanElTayyab, the Legislative Director for Middle East Policy at the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL), told @RStatecraft's @stavroulapabst “Even if these resolutions don't pass, the fact that they are up for consideration at all signals a major shift in the U.S.-Israel relationship.” Seven Senators have signaled that they will support the resolution. The vote is expected this afternoon. responsiblestatecraft.org/sanders-weapon…

"Continued offensive weapons transfers will worsen the current crisis and add more fuel to the fire of regional instability." Thank you @timkaine! kaine.senate.gov/press-releases…
Akbar Shahid Ahmed@AkbarSAhmed

Big: @timkaine says he will vote against Biden's weapons sales for Israel today. Expect more bellwether senators to share their positions soon. It's increasingly clear this isn't just a push from a handful of progressives; the key q is whether a majority of Senate Dems sign on.
