vicious rumor

Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), and Tom Carper (D., Del.) were the only senators to oppose a bipartisan resolution in favor of making Jerusalem the permanent home for the U.S. embassy in Israel.
The Senate overwhelmingly voted Thursday night in favor of keeping the U.S. embassy in Israel’s capital city. The 97-3 vote came as part of an amendment offered to a massive budgetary bill passed in an overnight session of the Senate. The amendment, introduced by Sen. Jim Inhofe (R., Okla.), allocated money in the bill to maintain the embassy in Jerusalem, effectively preventing the Biden administration or future administrations from moving the embassy.
Moving the embassy was one of Trump’s signature foreign policy decisions, and President Joe Biden promised while on the campaign trail not to reverse the move, which formally recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city, bucking years of traditional American foreign policy positions on the city and its status.
"It's an important message that we acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel," Inhofe said.
Warren, Sanders, and Carper did not return requests for comment on the vote.
During the Democratic primary debates last year, Sanders said he would consider reversing the move if he was elected president. Warren has also been an outspoken critic of moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, arguing that the location of the embassy should be decided as part of negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.
"We need to encourage both Israel and the Palestinians to negotiate with each other," Warren said last year. "The United States should not be putting a thumb on the scale."
Sanders aide Matt Duss, a veteran anti-Israel activist who is reportedly up for a job in the State Department, is largely responsible for the senator's anti-Israel positions

Bttt
A glimmer of good news is always good to see.
is Bernie Sanders a Jew?
Rats are smarter than to vote against this
Elizabeth Warren. Moon Batty as ever. Sure wouldn’t want to rile up the sensible Palestinians...
The heart of the king is as a river in God’s hands and He turns it wherever He will.
Honestly, this decision really is a shocker to me but that verse in Proverbs explains a lot.
It would be like taking down Trump’s beautiful wall.
He’s a practicing Satanist.
Pure window dressing. Bite-me and Kamalatoe are still going to turn the Middle East over to the Iranians and screw Israel and our Sunni allies.
Bookmarking. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but I feel like there is something much bigger about the location of our embassy being in Jerusalem than meets the eye.
G-d be praised! Was actually thinking about this today, didn’t know about a vote or anything. Sanders is going to hell. Sorry, not sorry.
This has nothing to do with PDJT and more to do with the negative publicity it would get should they revoke the embassy in Jerusalem.
God set in motion a lot of prophetic pieces with PDJT in office.

Not that it matters. As I recall, Herod was a Jew. So was Judas.
And this is one of the many reasons why they hate Trump. The border wall is the biggest reason.
The wall and the embassy are both physical legacies of his presidency that every other President wimped out on. They won’t dare get rid of either because they know the backlash would be fierce.
Every Democrat was against moving the embassy, and probably most Republicans. This vote is proof that they fear us.
That tells me several more are hiding their anti-Semite views!
We know that Warren and Sanders are Marxists but little turd Carper (D-Del) is a surprise. He has got to be embarrassing to Biden for this vote. I would have expected it of Sen. Coons (D-Del), another little 3rd class, backstabbing turd.
Gee Delaware’s senators for the last 40 years or so (i.e. Biden, Coons, Carper) are anti-America, anti-Israel or anti-democracy.
I thought we had cleaned up the water in the Delaware River. Guess we missed some of the bad stuff.
