Democratic Activists Approve Resolution Supporting Limitations on Weapons Transfer to Israel
In a significant move today, Democratic activists voted 236-30 in favor of a resolution endorsing U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan’s "Block the Bombs Act" (H.R.3565), which seeks to limit the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel. The resolution asserts that the Democratic base in Wisconsin largely supports restrictions on weaponry provided to Israel, a claim that activists upheld by rejecting an amendment to modify that statement.
Among the resolution’s authors, Palestinian-American Heba Mohammed emphasized the urgency of the matter, stating, “My family is currently being slaughtered with our tax dollars.” She urged fellow party members to confront the complexities of the situation without resorting to charges of antisemitism.
Conversely, Marcy, a Jewish-American activist, expressed concern over Israel’s defense needs, arguing that limiting U.S. arms could endanger the nation’s security amidst ongoing regional threats.
Alongside this resolution, activists approved measures opposing the SAVE Act, condemning the political manipulation of antisemitism, and advocating for restored diversity and equity programs in Wisconsin schools. The adopted resolutions, while not binding for elected officials, reflect the guiding principles and priorities of the Democratic Party.
