Today Bernie Sanders is forcing a vote on stopping the transfer of armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozers to Israel.

In Israel these bulldozers are used to destroy Palestinian communities and displace thousands of people.

Today's vote would not only stop the sale of these devastating machines, it would also go after the sale of $151 million in 1000-pound bombs to Israel, and more.

In total this vote is over about half a billion in weapon sales from the US to Israel.
