参议院民主党议员前所未有地大规模投票暂停向以色列出售武器和军用推土机，以此作为对唐纳德·特朗普总统发动伊朗战争的抗议。
周三深夜的投票中，参议员伯尼·桑德斯（I-佛蒙特州）提出的两项决议均未获得通过，这标志着参议院民主党人的立场出现转变——此前进步派曾多次联合共和党人支持以色列。
桑德斯提出的两项决议合计将阻止近5亿美元的武器及装备对以销售。其中一项决议将暂停价值约2.95亿美元的卡特彼勒推土机销售，另一项则将阻止价值近1.52亿美元的1000磅炸弹销售。
尽管没有共和党支持，两项决议最终未能通过，但桑德斯将民主党支持人数的大幅增加视为“进步”。

“今天，超过80%的民主党议员团站在美国人民一边，投票阻止向总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡及其恐怖、非法的战争提供美国军事援助，”桑德斯在一份声明中表示。
“我们发起这项行动时，仅有11票支持，”他继续说道，“现在，支持票数达到了40票。这种转变反映了美国民众的态度。”
此次立场转变的背景是，以色列在黎巴嫩的袭击威胁到了脆弱的停火协议以及结束伊朗冲突的大范围和平谈判。
参议院民主党议员在两项决议上并未完全达成一致——40人支持暂停向以色列出售推土机，36人投票反对炸弹销售。值得注意的是，上一次参议院投票否决对以军售时，仅有27名民主党议员投了赞成票。在此之前，这一数字仅为19人。

值得注意的是，一直直言不讳批评这场战争的参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（D-纽约州）也投票反对桑德斯的两项决议。
倒戈支持禁令的议员们随即强调，他们仍支持以色列，但将反对出售武器和军事装备的投票视为对伊朗战争的全民公投。
曾在之前投票反对桑德斯暂停对以军售提案的新罕布什尔州参议员玛吉·哈桑（D-新罕布什尔州）在一份声明中表示，她此次倒戈的决定“是基于特朗普总统和内塔尼亚胡总理贸然发动战争的鲁莽决定”。
“我对这场战争的任何额外拨款都存在严重疑虑，更不用说向以色列出售更多用于这场战争的武器了，”哈桑说道。

此次投票，再加上周三早些时候民主党压倒性支持限制特朗普总统在中东的战争权力，可能被视为一个预兆：民主党人将在预计的伊朗战争追加拨款请求中拥有影响力——目前拜登政府尚未将该请求提交国会。
该拨款方案的金额波动幅度很大，从最高2000亿美元到最低500亿美元不等。由于参议院民主党人可能对战争拨款产生重大影响，共和党人正考虑将该请求纳入党派统一投票的法案中。

密歇根州参议员埃利萨·斯洛特金（D-密歇根州）解释道，她投票反对“所谓1000磅‘无制导炸弹’和军用推土机”，旨在凸显支持以色列与支持战争之间的鲜明界限。
“但如今支持以色列，绝不仅仅是支持内塔尼亚胡总理的政治或军事议程，就像支持美国，不应等同于效忠特朗普总统一样，”她说道。

More Senate Democrats than ever before voted to halt arms sales and military bulldozers to Israel as an act of protest against President Donald Trump’s war in Iran.
The late-night vote on Wednesday, which saw both of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., resolutions fail, signaled a shift among Senate Democrats, who in several previous attempts by the progressive had joined Republicans to support the Jewish state.
Combined, Sanders’ resolutions would have blocked nearly $500 million in arms and equipment sales to Israel. One resolution would have halted to sale of roughly $295 million in Caterpillar bulldozers, while the other would have stopped the sale of nearly $152 million worth of 1,000-pound bombs.
Though they failed without Republican support, Sanders viewed the swell of Democratic backing as “progress.”

“Today, more than 80% of the Democratic caucus stood with the American people and voted to block U.S. military aid to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his horrific, illegal wars,” Sanders said in a statement.
“When we started this effort there were just 11 votes,” he continued. “Now, there are 40. That shift reflects where the American people are.”
The shift comes after Israel’s strikes in Lebanon threatened a fragile ceasefire, and broader peace talks, to end fighting in Iran.
Senate Democrats weren’t fully aligned on both resolutions — 40 supported halting the sale of bulldozers to Israel, while 36 voted to block bomb sales. Notably, the last time the Senate voted to disapprove arms sales to Israel, 27 Democrats voted yes. Before that, only 19 did.

Notably, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who has been a vocal critic of the war, voted against Sanders’ resolutions.
Lawmakers who flipped their votes were quick to stress that they still support Israel but viewed their votes against the sale of weapons and military equipment as a referendum on the war in Iran.
Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., who previously voted against Sanders’ attempts to halt arms sales to the Jewish state, said in a statement that her decision to flip was “informed by President Trump’s and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s reckless decision to go to war.”
“I have serious questions about any supplemental expenditures for this war, let alone additional sales of weapons for the same war to Israel,” Hassan said.

The vote, coupled with overwhelming Democratic support to rein in President Donald Trump’s war powers in the Middle East earlier on Wednesday, could be viewed as a preview of the power Democrats may wield over an expected supplemental spending request to fund the war in Iran, which the administration has yet to send to Congress.
The price tag of that package has fluctuated from as much as $200 billion to as low as $50 billion. Because of the influence Senate Democrats could have over funding the war effort, Republicans are considering including the request in a party-line package.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., explained her vote against “1,000 pound so-called ‘dumb bombs’ and military bulldozers” was meant to highlight a stark contrast between supporting Israel and supporting the war.
“But being pro-Israel today is not simply about supporting the political or military agenda of Prime Minister Netanyahu, just like being pro-American should not be equated with loyalty to President Trump,” she said.
