he’s been very weak on the ceasefire demand up until very recently.

this isnt relevant to whether sanders has pushed for blocking funding to israel

he’s talked about blocking arm sales

blocking arms sales not being the same as blocking funding is fair, however:

He has not called for an end to the sending of money to Israel

is at least misrepresentative

Even as Republicans have raised serious concerns about the border provisions of the bill, the $10bn allocated for aid to Israel has sparked criticism from Bernie Sanders . In a letter sent to his colleagues on Tuesday, the progressive Vermont senator warned against providing a “blank check” to Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, as the death toll in Gaza continues to climb.

“No, I do not think we should be appropriating $10.1bn for the right-wing, extremist Netanyahu government to continue its current military strategy,” Sanders wrote. “What the Netanyahu government is doing is immoral, it is in violation of international law, and the United States should not be complicit in those actions.”

After it became clear that the bill would fail to advance on Wednesday, Sanders joined Republicans in opposing the procedural motion.

even if it was in response to specific bills as opposed to a complete and total cut, he has explicitly spoken out against bills funding israel, and saying ‘the United States should not be complicit in (the actions of Israel)’ in oplosition to a specific bill is still hard to read as anything but a call to cut funding of israel in general

here is a more concrete, applicable example
