washingtonians pushing back against the normalization of a military occupation of their city is not “the worst in people and society” — it’s a reasonable and justifiable position we should all be mad that the national guard is being used as political props by the president!

Democrats in the Senate face a big test soon on whether they’re OK with the status quo of the US-Israel relationship— & associated devastation in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran They’re likely to vote at 5:30 tomorrow on bills that would block bulldozers+bombs Trump wants to send Isr..

New data on how politically toxic @AIPAC has become

‘Everything is gone’: Israel destroys entire villages in Lebanon theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…

Bernie Sanders says this week he will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to Israel military: “The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.”

J Street is urging Senators to support two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block pending U.S. arms sales to Israel, which are up for a vote on the Senate floor Wednesday. At a moment of fragile ceasefires and continued violence across the region, approving these transfers would be seen as an American endorsement of the U.S. and Israeli war with Iran and Israeli actions in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank. J Street believes U.S. security assistance to Israel must comply with U.S. law and international humanitarian law. The weapons transfers being voted on include 1,000-pound bombs and D-9 bulldozers, which have been used by the Israeli government in ways that raise serious legal and moral concerns. Congress has a clear responsibility to ensure that U.S.-supplied weapons are not contributing to civilian suffering or undermining the chances for diplomacy, de-escalation and peace.

Right, although worth noting that restricting sales in accordance with US law effectively means an arms embargo. What to watch out for now is the reprogramming/rebranding of aid into “joint research projects” which is just another taxpayer subsidy.

If your goal is building progressive political power, your response to Democrats coalescing around ending military aid to Israel is going to be: "Years of activism went into this, let's keep working." If your goal is performing radicalism on this website: "This must be an op."

This moment demands a reset. J Street is calling for the U.S. to end unconditional financial military subsidies to Israel and to move towards a relationship where we treat Israel like any other ally. J Street supports: – Phasing out taxpayer-funded military aid by 2028, when the current agreement ends. – Ensuring Israel can defend itself, by selling – not subsidizing – the weapons it needs, including Iron Dome. – Enforcing U.S. law on how American arms are used, including withholding certain weapons when those laws are not met. Why now? The current U.S. aid agreement expires in 2028. This is the moment to chart a smarter path forward. At the same time, after the devastation in Gaza and ongoing suffering in the West Bank, it is clear that the status quo is no longer sustainable. Israel is strong, prosperous and capable of paying for its defense. Treating Israel as an exception and supplying it with a blank check worth billions has made support for the country more divisive and less sustainable. Simply put, the U.S. should treat Israel like any other partner. The normalization of this relationship doesn’t weaken the alliance – it strengthens it, protects democracy and secures long-term bipartisan support.
