Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Thursday she would move to block the sale of F-15s to Israel after seven aid workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza earlier this week.
“I think it is clear that Congress has a responsibility to act. We have legal tools here. And as I said, we cannot approve the sale of arms to a country that is in violation of our own laws on this. And that includes access to humanitarian relief,” Warren said Thursday during an interview on “CNN News Central.”
“This is a moral question; it is also a legal question. Congress has responsibility here, and I’m willing to take that responsibility,” she added.
Seven aid workers with the World Central Kitchen were killed Monday while leaving a warehouse in central Gaza, where they delivered more than 100 tons of food aid. They were in two armored cars when the strike hit.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took responsibility Tuesday for the deadly strike and said it was a “tragic event in which our forces unintentionally harmed non-combatants in the Gaza Strip.”
The strike came as the U.S. weighs a major new arms sale to Israel. The U.S. government is considering selling Israel up to 50 new F-15 fighter jets, 30 AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles, and Joint Direct Attack Munition kits, equipment that can alter dumb bombs into precision-guided weapons.
Asked if she is considering putting legislation on the floor to block arms sales to Israel, Warren said, “Actually, let’s put this in a slightly different context. We already have an established U.S. policy here.”

Wow. Something got the old commie fake Indian to move.
I don’t recall Gray Beaver’s concern over the hundreds of Americans left behind in Afghanistan or the Americans held hostage/killed by Hamas.
“The ‘accident story’ is just cover for an informant. The convoy was destroyed 11km south of their dock at 1am in the morning, after going north to Gaza City delivery, then driving past their dock halfway to Rafah. They were smuggling a Hamas leader out of Gaza City past IDF.” - Schlomo Hizkiyahu

And this guy cheers on Ukraine at the same time, no matter what they do.
(Israel does need to be self sufficient. Jews/Israel have been expelled from the Left, and the Democrat Party is going to go the way Indian Lizzo is signalling)
Hey, Pocahontas look at our record in the last 60 years. We invented the term “collateral damage”.
Biden is lucky that GOD is patchient. He is at total war with GOD.
“The Lord works out everything to its proper end; even the wicked for the Day of
Disaster.”
Western decline in the last 30 years has hurt us all. At the same time it has so weakened the Regime that they cannot strong-arm Israel into submission.
Also, Israel needs to get to military independence, so they are not leaning on a weak reed that will break, and pierce their hand.
Like it's 'acting' on the border?
Only if she’s Mormon.
