Worthless resolution anyway lol.
State dept: "Hey Israel is doing war crimes."
Biden: "Lol. Okay? And? Here's $100billion more arms approved for killing Palestinians.
They are literally doing see no evil bit.
When icj marines will come for their warcrimes, they'll say "nobody told me nothin', honest"
ohmaigosh they did the democracy.
so this is the Ocean's Eleven I've heard so much about...
This is the kind of bipartisan voting the U.S. needs, not left or right, but forward.
Who voted to kill it?

It was a vote to 'table' the amendment (which in the US means to set it aside. AFAIK this is the opposite of what it means to 'table' something in the UK Parliament). Votes against the motion (to table) came from Butler (D-CA), Heinrich (D-NM), Hirono (D-HI), Lujan (D-NM), Markey (D-MA), Merkley (D-OR), Paul (R-KY), Sanders (I-VT), Van Hollen (D-MD), Warren (D-MA) and Welch (D-VT). Everyone else either voted to kill it, or abstained.
Paul (R-KY),
Broken clock

The Senate just voted 72-11 to kill Sanders
resolution to have the State Department report Israel's human rights abuses against Palestinians
