Every senator who voted to block aid to Israel was endorsed by J-Street, almost all by JDCA

The Republican Jewish Coalition tweeted this list of senators who voted for the US to stop military aid to Israel:
• Senator Dick Durbin (@jstreetdotorg-endorsed and @USJewishDems-endorsed)
• Senator Bernie Sanders (J Street-endorsed)
• Senator Tim Kaine (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Chris Van Hollen (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Jeff Merkley (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Peter Welch (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Jon Ossoff (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Raphael Warnock (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Chris Murphy (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Tina Smith (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Jeanne Shaheen (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Martin Heinrich (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Elizabeth Warren (J Street-endorsed)
• Senator Mazie Hirono (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Brian Schatz (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Ed Markey (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Angus King (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)
• Senator Ben Ray Lujan (J Street-endorsed and JDCA-endorsed)

The Jewish Democratic Council of America did briefly put up a webpage on their site to contact senators to oppose the resolution. It is inactive now, and I could not find any posts on their social media urging  their followers to sign this petition, so it appears half-hearted at best. It sure does not appear like they will pull their endorsements from any of the senators that supported it.

J-Street, however, was all-in on the resolution, calling it a "landmark vote" and a "milestone."

As US Ambassador to Israel Michael Herzog tweeted, "Anyone urging you to ban critical arms to Israel during an existential war is NOT pro-Israel."
