Democrats are blocking pro-Israeli legislation
For the second time this week, Senate Democrats failed to reach the necessary 60 votes on Thursday afternoon to end debate on Republican-introduced legislation that, if enacted, would impose fresh sanctions on Syria, as well as boost security cooperation with Israel and Jordan amid the announced gradual withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria.Basically, the Democrat disgraces are blocking these bills for the same reason they oppose funding a border wall in the USA. How much longer are they going to keep this up before common sense can prevail? It's regrettable much of the public had to vote for Democrat candidates in the last House election, and just because a Republican is in the White House?!? Such an approach is no avail to anybody, not even in the USA.
It is also aimed at tackling the anti-Israel BDS movement. The final tally was 53-43.
At least four Democrats voted for cloture, the procedure that ends debate and initiates a vote: Arizona’s Krysten Sinema, Alabama’s Doug Jones, West Virginia’s Joe Manchin and New Jersey’s Robert Menendez.
On Tuesday, the Senate failed to proceed to start the clock, which is no more than an additional 30 hours of debate, to then proceed to vote on the bill that would also reauthorize the United States-Jordan Defense Cooperation Act of 2015 to help the Hashemite Kingdom respond to the Syrian refugee crisis, fight the Islamic State and other terrorist groups, and protect its borders with Iraq and Syria.
Democrats have objected to moving the bill forward due to the partial government shutdown that has lasted 19 days due to an impasse between U.S. President Donald Trump and Democrats over $5.6 billion in funding for a border wall with Mexico.

A border wall certainly didn't help the Germans now, did it?
