We have human rights violations here at home to deal with. Until we stop the police brutality on our own citizens of all colors, how can we condemn another nation for theirs.

I'm all for condemning human rights violations but this is a vailed atempt at partisan politics. If they truly wanted to condemn the human rights violations this would have included our support to Saudi Arabia with strings attached to improve Saudi's own human rights polices.

We kill more innocent people in drone strikes than anyone what moral ground are we standing on?

I doubt that Yemen cares how we vote. We are too involved in that part of the world. These things just take up time that Congress could be actually getting together and working on problems that can really be solved.

Wait, you are really asking that a completely inept Republicans GOP, who wouldn’t know a human rights violation even in a bikini; condemn another country. This really is an episode of Pinky and The Brain. ✍️To clarify: when I spent the last week requesting that Congress focus of the need for humanitarian rights legislation; I was inferring to the chasm between legislation and the violations of humans rights here at home. 🎩

Mind your own business...

I agree wholeheartedly with Chad's comment that before we try to change the world we need to address our situations here in the USA. We need to address POLICE brutality, voting rights, class, race and gender discrimination. If you are going to try to change the world, you need to at least try to set a example! !

It’s probably gonna get passed any way but, we have our hands tied already with Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and we’re involved in something that wasn’t even our business to begin with. This is Irans and Saudi Arabia’s problem, not ours. I know it’s bad to turn a blind eye to these issues, but it seems like conflicts like these are never going to be resolved any time soon. There will always be a new problem every week. I would support at the most medical aid and essential needs. But weapons, ammo, training, and military support sounds like a waste of money if we have no idea how long this will take. 15 years later and we’re still at war. We bit off more than we could chew and it’s starting to back fire with everyone flooding in from countries like Yemen. I respectively vote no.

Good faith gestures are great. Condemning human right violations is also a plus. But I read nothing about military personnel in this description, and the fact of the matter is that sending in peace keepers, journalists, medical personnel, etc. without any protection is asking for a problem- especially in this region

Here’s the thing, War is War. Conflict is not so obvious in current warfare, especially in the Middle East. Most of the time, those who are gaining footholds in States use civilians as shields to protect themselves. Take Hamas and the Houthi rebels in Yemen. In both cases, Israel and the Saudi-led coalition use force to target where missiles and mortar fire are coming from, which is strategically placed to be in civilian centers to protect the attackers from retaliation. When a coalition or Israel responds, the coalition or Israel loses face internationally for attacking civilian locations, but they are only protecting themselves. You can condemn this act of warfare, but there is no way around it. You can condemn Iran until we are blue in the face for stirring up sectarian descent, but in reality that has been the life of the Middle East since the partite of the two religious sects in power. I support the war efforts going on over there and instead of condemning those who respond to indiscriminate fire against openly unguarded civilians against those hiding behind the civilians firing the weapons, its time we truly open our eyes and realize there is very little a military can do against insurgent warfare regarding civilian deaths.
