Why does Wikipedia not call this communist politician "far-left" in the introduction...[edit]
while smearing certain Republicans "far-right"?? This person spent his honeymoon in the Soviet Union, an anti-American, communist state which killed millions of people. 80.131.50.252 (talk) 23:30, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Senator Sanders' resolution seeking additional information regarding Israel's human rights record in West Bank[edit]
According to Al-Jazeera, "Amnesty International has thanked progressive US Senator Bernie Sanders for introducing a little-used “privileged resolution” seeking information on Israel’s human rights record in the occupied Palestinian territories amid the war in Gaza."
...
"According to reports, Sanders’s resolution is privileged, which means he can force the Senate to hold a vote and if the resolution is passed, the US State Department has 30 days to respond with a statement on Israel’s human rights practices."
The privileged resolution was not specified, but is consistent with a Section 502B(c) request.
Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) prohibits security assistance to “any country the government of which engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights.” 22 U.S.C. § 2304(a).
Any member of Congress can introduce a single-chamber resolution requesting a report from the Secretary of State regarding human rights or other concerns in a particular country. See 22 U.S.C. § 2304(c). Such a resolution is privileged in the Senate according to the expedited procedures of the International Security and Arms Export Control Act (ISAECA).
If the Secretary of State fails to provide a report within thirty days, “no security assistance shall be delivered to such country except as may thereafter be specifically authorized by law from such country unless and until such statement is transmitted.” 22 U.S.C. § 2304(c)(3). After receiving a 502B(c) report from the Secretary of State, Congress may “adopt a joint resolution terminating, restricting, or continuing security assistance” to the country in question. 22 U.S.C. § 2304(c)(4).
This resolution would represent unprecedented oversight action by a U.S. member of Congress into Israel's human rights record, in connection with which federal aid to Israel may be rescinded if human rights abuses are found.
Therefore, I request that it be added to the article especially given the months long, high profile news coverage and historical value of the Israel-Hamas conflict, the resolution's potential ramifications in US-Israel relations, and possible change in U.S. policy rooted in explicitly applying Section 502B and 502B(c) legal provisions to make foreign aid to Israel conditional and contingent on abiding by applicable human rights laws.
