Note that he's not asking him to pull millitary aid. He's asking to pull military aid if they don't allow "humanitarian aid"

So he's perfectly okay with continuing to fund genocide, as long as they have a loaf of bread in their hands when the bombs fall on them.

Glad someone's finally talking about the Foreign Assistance Act.

Funny it's not due to that act prohibiting assistance to a government that "engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights, including torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, prolonged detention without charges, causing the disappearance of persons by the abduction and clandestine detention of those persons, or other flagrant denial of the right to life, liberty, and the security of person" given how obviously Israel does all of those things.

Only took 4 months and 30k deaths in Gaza for Bernie to push Biden to pull military aid.

a push

I wouldn't even call it that. he's not making a threat or actually using any leverage as a senator and a bold face name pol. It's only a tweet. I think he's getting worried about his legacy so he wants to appear to be a "voice for peace" or whatever the fuck term he uses.
