Sen. Bernie Sanders pledged to introduce a resolution to block
the Biden administration's proposed $20 billion sale of additional U.S.
weaponry to Israel.
I see this differently. For decades US was involved in the Middle East. Trying to preserve peace and of course get the sweet sweet oil. As we know it failed. Peace isn’t easy when the fighting sides’ goal is to wipe out each other.
US decided that enough is enough, and is very open saying that it wants or of it. It pushes EVs and so is EU.
Bibi is trying to start a war in the region, hoping that it will force US to get into yet another war. US is not taking the bait and its position is that if Israel wants a war, we can sell them weapons, but they are on their own.
This is contrast to trump who openly advocates to get our soldiers involved to help Israel.

“I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists.”
~Kamala Harris DNC speech.
What do you interpret as “whatever action is necessary”?
Who do you think “our forces and our interests” are that Iran and “Iran backed terrorists” (these would be Hamas and Hezbollah) are fighting against?
“I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists.”
That’s not the same as “I will help Israel with reaching their goals”. It is clear that what she was saying is that if Iran or Iran-backed proxies attack US military they will get a “proportionate” response.
