Democratic Sen. Chris van Hollen tore into Israel for ‘textbook war crime‘ on Monday evening after a visit to the region – but still voted to fund its war on Hamas.
The Maryland senator said any U.S. aid should be conditioned to adhering to international law. He referenced an analysis from the World Food Program and the United Nations Children’s Fund detailing starvation in Gaza due to Israel’s siege against Hamas in the territory.
‘I want that to sink in. Kids in Gaza are now dying from the deliberate withholding of food,’ he said on the Senate floor Monday during deliberations on a $95 billion foreign aid bill.
‘In addition to the horror of that news, one other thing is true. That is a war crime. It is a textbook war crime. And that makes those who orchestrate it, war criminals.’
The White House, which backed the aid package, has said there are no indications that there have been ‘deliberate’ efforts to commit war crimes by the Israeli Defense Forces.
And hours later, Van Hollen discarded his concerns and proceeded to vote for the $95 billion package that offers $61 billion for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel.
It also provides $9.15 billion in humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, Ukraine and other conflict zones around the globe.
Typical Demrat POS!
Why is Van Hollen not screaming about the US dollars going to IRAN and Hamass to kill US citzens
Because he’s a damn democrat 3:18
