Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gaza—the best way to get food to starving people there—so Jordan is delivering some with air drops. The Jordanians said @merkley.senate.gov & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.
Allies do NOT block their allies from visiting. End ALL aid to Israel NOW.
Why don't you both get on your knees and beg a bit harder. Pretending Democrats aren't funding a genocide that cost us another Trump term fools nobody.
One air drop delivers half as much food as a single truck and costs a million times more. Air drops land in open fire zones, in the sea, and sometimes they crush people. Airdropped food doesn't reach the most vulnerable, only those able to fight for it. They're performative, not a true solution.
Your country and most of the West have created a monster. Time to stop feeding it.
Keep up the good work, senator. You give me hope that the Democratic party still might be worth something.

Thanks to you and Sen. Merkley for pressing for oversight of this aid distribution and attempting to assess the situation directly.
Please get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps in DC what you think about the situation in Gaza. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.com
Stop sending American money to Israel. Stop funding genocide.
Of course they did. Are you starting to recognize how evil Israel is, sir? Do you see yet that America supports a society and a government that is so heinous it makes Nazis look like the good guys? Can you please start working towards ending this parasitic relationship with that evil colony?
He is committing war crime’s through starvation
Israel Netanyahu doesn’t want you to speak on the terrible situation in Gaza! You would be an eye witness and your words would ring truth around the world! Netanyahu wants it kept in the dark!
This is still a thing, right? International Court of Justice share.google/JeDJUVsICtoQ...
Expensive and ineffective. This is the best you can do??????
Sanctions on the Genocidal Apartheid State of Israel Now!
Get on an aid flight - fuck the Israelis approval
Get rid of Netanyahu and the Gaza problem can be solved.
Should have gotten rid of Netanyahu a decade ago ☹️
So why do we enable Netanyahu?
Thank you for your focus on this. It's important that everyone knows the truth about what's happening
Netanyahu is a war criminal
Air drops, the ultimate middle finger to bureaucracy. Guess Israel's approval was the only thing that needed airlifting.
Well, we'd hate for you to see things and be truthful.
They've gotta start letting the trucks through.
Thank you for all you do.
#RitchieTorres will not be happy with you about this, Chris.
If you could instantly stop all US aid to Israel that would get their attention.
🇺🇸🇺🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🇨🇦🇺🇲
Netanyahu is murdering innocent women and children in Gaza!
Netanyahu is a criminal. The government of Israel has replicated the reich. Biden was wrong to shame us for saying so.
Netanyahu should burn in hell.
Hey man you can just get on the plane, call their bluff, seriously they aren't gonna do it
We should be two years past giving a shit what Israel says or wants - they forfeited that right when starting a genocide.
Genocide. Murder. Corruption. Netanyahu is evil.
Another one of your constituents, with an open asylum case, got abducted by ICE. WE DEMAND ACTION! https://gofund.me/bb59d045
Netanyahu and the IDF are war criminals!
Bibi Netanyahu is a war criminal.
Did you tell them to fuck off?
That King of Jordan seems like a sane, decent man.
So you'll support sending the genocidal Israeli terrorists to the hague and cutting off their funding, right?
I get what you're doing but my dude... we have GPS. We dont need to see "how bad it is", its already far too bad. The worst we've seen in history. You can start there.
Thank you, Senator. Can you explain why you need Israeli authorization?
Probably because without it they would have an excuse for shooting down the helicopter he’d be in
thanks to both you and my own senator @merkley.senate.gov you CANNOT stop until this ends. i & many of your constituents feel powerless, but we demand that this genocide ends.
Did you ask if that is a death threat? Like, what are they going to do if you fly anyhow?
“Do you see the man on the screen Just a puppet but you never see the strings Calling it a war n not a genocide Telling us it isn't what it seems Man that's a different kind of greed” “Heavy Foot” By, Mon Rovia
Netanyahu should be looking over his shoulder the rest of his pathetic life. So should his family.
Fuck Israel. What a bunch of sadists they’ve become.
Thank you for having real principles
Only 34% of Americans SUPPORT Israel and want to arm them. LISTEN TO US. We enabled this with arms and funding we put NO restrictions on despite Israel BLOCKING peace 2 Democrat Presidents got Palestinians to accept. Israel backs Russia NEVER fought for us just put targets on our backs & spits on us
Thank you for doing something, senator Van Hollen. This famine and genocide must end.
Israel are scared you will see the absolute devastation of Gaza. They have destroyed hospitals, schools, farms, fishing boats, wells, homes, everything. Yet we still give them money. The world must stop giving anything to Israel, arms, money and trade.
Why the fuck does Israel get to say you can’t go on one of these aid drops to see the devastation? We, the American people have paid for this genocide and destruction with our tax dollars. Does Israel run the US? Because it sure seems like they lead us by the nose.
Why in the hell does Congress kiss Israel's ass? We the people do not support Israel but Congress puts them above our country. Stop funding it.
WH are we financing this murder?

When will you stop consenting to fascism? Stop allowing unanimous consent
Good fucking god. He’s committing genocide.
📌
Thank you for having the courage to be on the right side of history.
The audacity of denying clearance to an elected official from the country paying their bills…
Netanyahu needs a cruise missile up his asshole
Netanyahu is a war criminal.
Yes he is. Why does the US continue to support him. He will not stop until all Pakistanis are killed. He is not fighting Hamas, he is committing gynocide. Trump will soon be able to have his “Trump Oceanside Villas”built as he stated he would.
I ment Palestinians.
Trump supports him due to Kompromat, allegedly .
Your last sentence is exactly why Trump helps Netanyahu.
Oceanside Villas will be a HUGE target for any opposition to attack. Dream on about your luxury vacations.
Yep. Came here to say this.
Israel and Russia shouldn't get to commit these horrors. Nobody wants a world war but how can we let these atrocities continue?
The US is 100% just as responsible for the genocide in Gaza as Israel is. The world war that is coming will be against Israel, the US and Russia (at least) as the Neo-axis, with the Coalition (hopefully with China) fighting to stop the relentless fascism and genocide of the Neo-axis.
FYI @wyden.senate.gov
THIS!!!!!!
It’s quite outrageous that the authorization has to come from Israel instead of Palestinian authorities!
Thank you for trying.
You know what would start a war? Is Israel shooting down a plane filled with aid for starving people. If I were a nation, I would *dare* Israel to do a thing like that and deliver the food anyway
Thank you for your courage and decency, Sen. Van Hollen.
How is the entire world not recognizing that he is a soulless, heartless psychopathic murderer by now??🤬🤬🤬 How is he still in power?
Netanyahu will have to answer for these decisions he is making. Enough killing, enough death on both sides and what has been gained? Babies killed all for what?
This dude is a fuckin terrorist
You should go on the flight anyway. Fuck them. What are they going to do about it?
I just have to say … I’m getting tired of our Dem leaders ‘ words and condemnations and NOTHING happens … I don’t think I’m alone … wtf … SO SOMETHING
You have to be equally tired of republican leaders not even bothering with words and condemnations because they approve it.
Go anyway. Make Israel arrest you.
So you need to do something about it. Netanyahu is playing the US Congress like a fiddle and all of you need to step up to the plate and stop giving him the means to carry out this nonsense. He should be arrested for war crimes.
The you for trying to expose the brutality of Israel and for helping to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home from the gulag in El Salvador & allow him a chance of staying with his family. Rarely does an elected politician step out of their comfort zone to confront evil.
Israel. 🤨
If they feel secure enough to deny aid to people experiencing famine then they don't need our munitions anymore. They have nothing to worry about.
Senator you are meeting the moment and showing up. You and only a few others are an island of courage in the middle of a sea of cowards in Congress on both sides of the aisle. Stay strong on the funding bill. Don’t vote for it without something in return. Better to shut down this fascist govt. .
Thank you for delivering food and aid to people in need.
Yet Jordan & every nation in that surrounding region, with all their riches & power sat quietly watching as horror after horror unfolded from Oct 7 2023 onward. Not one stepped up to evacuate Gazans caught in the Hate War between Iran & Israel. NOBODY. -THEY. SAT &.WATCHED.FROM.RIGHT.NEXT.DOOR.
Stop spreading Hamas propaganda- you are either very naive or you are being intentionally ignorant to the situation. Yes, there has been a temporary stop of aid to Gaza because Hamas was stealing most of the aid provided by Israel and used the money from the sales of that food to buy more weapons.
Israel already resumed new deliveries but now they are making sure the actual civilians are getting the help, without Hamas as a beneficiary. But you should know that, because Americans are helping deliver the aid, which UNO didn’t want to do.
Netanyahu wants to murder all the people in Gaza and Israel is allowing it. You are supposed to live your neighbor not kill them
So maybe…. Idk…. STOP licking Israel’s ass!?
War criminal Netanyahu.
Thank you Senator Van Golden and Senator Merkley and the people and leaders of Jordan.
Wouldn't placing some good intelligence quality cameras on one or more of the Jordanian aircraft have accomplished the same thing? After all, what is needed is unassailable evidence of the unimaginably awful conditions in Gaza. If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, a video ought to be worth far more.
Do it anyways. Why does Israel have control of airspace in Gaza? Enough. History will ask why didn’t anyone stop the bombing and starvation of civilians including children.
There needs to be Nuremberg-style trials for Netanyahu and his henchmen for genocide.
Netanyahu is operating on the idea that if you can't see what's happening then you have to take my word for it. A little late for that, we know what's going on, but he doesn't care.
What is your response? Are you going anyway?
Thank you for your actions- you are trying to shine a light on these atrocities. This takes courage
NETANYAHU LIKE TRUMP R WAR CRIMINALS DUE TO SO MANY DEATHS DUE 2 FAMINE! INNOCENTS R ALWAYS PAYING THE PRICE 4 DESPOTS POWER PLAYS! JORDAN RULES!!
🤬🤬🤬
🤬🤬
So Netanyahu will take American money but not allow any American oversight? If what is being done in Gaza is so innocent why is Israel keeping you out? Reporters out?
Huh!!!’
Sounds like a good reason to stop sending Israel bombs & money.
Another sick and cruel human being.
You're one of the only people in leadership truly looking for unique ways to step up and fight for Good. Keep it up, we need you.
This is just biden's Aids Pier to Nowhere stunt again.
He should fight to end financing the death of people he’s talking about.
