As did 428 others; makes me curious what the actual content of that bill was, and why it was so vehemently opposed.

It was not a vote for the while bill. It was an amendement to the existing bill to strip Israel funding off the bill.

The amendement suggested not giving free weapons to Israel with American taxpayer dollars

So literally no reason to vote no.
