WASHINGTON, April 5 (Reuters) - (This April 5 story has been corrected to say that Gaza suffers widespread hunger, not famine, in paragraph 2 and adds context on United Nations warnings of imminent famine in Gaza in paragraph 11)
Representative Nancy Pelosi, former House speaker and a key ally of Joe Biden, signed a letter on Friday from dozens of congressional Democrats to the president and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, urging a halt to weapons transfers to Israel.
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT
Israel's military assault on Gaza, opens new tab, which followed Palestinian Islamist group Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, has come under increasing international criticism, opens new tab as the Gaza health ministry has reported more than 33,000 people have died in the war and the narrow coastal enclave suffers widespread hunger.
Support from Pelosi, opens new tab, a veteran member of Biden's Democratic Party, for stopping the transfer of weapons to Israel showed that the view is increasingly becoming mainstream in the party.
KEY QUOTE
Friday's letter called on the Biden administration to conduct its own probe into an Israeli airstrike that killed seven staff, opens new tab of the aid group World Central Kitchen, opens new tab on Monday.
"In light of the recent strike against aid workers and the ever-worsening humanitarian crisis, we believe it is unjustifiable to approve these weapons transfers," the letter said. It was signed by Pelosi and 36 other Democrats including Representatives Barbara Lee, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Big stunner from this pos.
I hear that just after Goliath’s death the Philistines demanded common sense pebble and sling control....
Did we ever think the Islamo Communism would go this far?
Meanwhile these lunatics have financed Iran and opened the border to their terror cells, and we’re going to be attacked no matter how many times these idiots say we don’t support Israel.
Oh look another Stupid showed up
Shortly after the hamas attack on Israel, there was some debate about this being an “end times thing”, but someone said no because EVERYONE would be against Israel, and the US was on their side. To which I responded. Yeah, for now. Give it a year and our leadership will show their true colors.
And here we are.
Until all the hostages are returned (or their bodies) and Hamas surrenders unconditionally, Israel should not stop. Its an ugly thing going on over there. I am sure innocent people are suffering. That’s why they say war is hell. These are the calculations Hamas made on Oct 6th, and they obviously decided that they should bring war to the Gaza strip. And, war is what they are now getting.
What’s the next step? Do democrats supply Hamas with weapons? Or make deals with Iran for OUR protection if we throw Israel under the bus? Evil is afoot... wokesters are making deals.
I think you figured out the game plan. Eventually, all nations will turn against Israel. It’s a sign of the end times. Along with earthquakes, wars and rumors of wars, etc . .
Johnson needs to ram through his own bill for weapons to Israel NOW. Call the House back in session. “District work” can wait.
Pandering to her mussie base.
Damn fool Dems. If a halt to weapons transfers to Israel occurs, Bibi might just have to dust off a few nukes to deal with Hezbollah / Iran.
This is pure horse manure from democrats. Hamas is a demonically possessed group of savages. Do you think Netanyahu has shown us the worst of what was done to the Israeli villagers? Think again. Out of respect for the ones that were killed and their families, Bibi hasn’t revealed the worst of what was done to them.
Israel should bomb Hamas into submission and execute them. No hostages returned-no halt in the war.
“Nazi Pelosi”
WOW
Israel accidentally hitting that convoy was the gift the rats were hoping for. They will use it for all it’s worth as an excuse to abandon Israel and get the muzzies back.
Two things.
Like all Dem supporting groups, American Jews have contributed to the Pelosi and other campaigns all along.
Nearly half of American Jews in surveys have said they place the State of Israel low in their list of concerns. This is true of “secular Jews” more than the right leaning observant and Orthodox Jews.
But now they may learn that as one of the used and now discarded Dem voting blocs they will see that the deaths of Jews is one of the side effects of enabling Democrats. Hamas, PLO and the Rashida Tlaib supporting American Arabs are the new Dem golden voters. Jews are being swept aside.
Pew Research, 2020
Caring about Israel is “essential” to what being Jewish means to 45% of U.S. Jewish adults, and an additional 37% say it is “important, but not essential,” according to a new Pew Research Center survey that was fielded from Nov. 19, 2019, to June 3, 2020 – well before the latest surge of violence in the region. Just 16% of U.S. Jewish adults say that caring about Israel is “not important” to their Jewish identity. Many object to the pro-Trump Israelis who support Netanyahu and prefer to replace him with a “lean across the aisle” in the Knesset dove who could sell out the country to
the UN and Arabs to seek “peace.”
RE: Pandering to her mussie base.
The Dems always-——always——work in unison with scripted cliches repeated on all news media and women’s show panel shows as well as soundbites for all Dem politicians.
“Working families” “the Trump MAGA extremists” “climate change deniers” “the disproven election fraud hoax” and so on.
When we see “Let’s take a fresh look at the historic Vice President” it will mean Biden is leaving soon.
Then gin soaked hag speaks
