The February 12, 2024, Senate vote on sending another $14 billion to Israel shows the depravity of most of the members of the U.S. Senate.
In particular, it showed the hypocrisy of the two Senators who are pastors of Christian denominations as well as the shallowness of the few Senators who called for a cease-fire and then voted for money to kill more Palestinians. Only three Senators voted against the funding—Bernie Sanders (D-VT), Peter Welch (D-VT) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR).
Senator Raphael Warnock, a Baptist preacher from Georgia, voted for the $14 billion for Israel. For 19 years Warnock has been the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, the former congregation of Martin Luther King, Jr. He is the fifth and youngest person to serve as Ebenezer’s senior pastor since its founding and has continued in the position while simultaneously serving in the Senate.
Warnock was elected with the help of volunteers who came to Georgia from all over the country…and by funds from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) that wanted desperately for the Democrats to be in charge of the Senate so that Israel super-supporter Chuck Schumer would become the Senate Majority Leader.
Schumer ties President Biden as the strongest supporter for the State of Israel in the U.S. government. They both have protected the criminal actions of the State of Israel for decades— during Biden’s 36 years in the Senate, 8 years as Vice President and now 3 years as President, and Schumer’s 25 years in the Senate.
