Bernie is right about Israel

[Sir X]

In an interview published this week with the editorial board of The New York Daily News, Sanders fielded numerous questions about Israel-Palestine and U.S. policy in the Middle East.

The harsh questioning and the media’s subsequent antagonistic response to Sanders’ measured and levelheaded remarks is just the latest example of how thorough and extreme the bias is against Bernie and his insurgent grassroots campaign — and against anyone who dares to acknowledge Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians.

What does it say about the other candidates?
Merika did well in picking the best candidate (Obama)twice,and it was largely due to the baby boomers .
He is the only one worth electing,the underlying factor seems to be a regression.

Unlike his competitor Hillary Clinton, who has effusively lionized Israel and pledged to meet with hard-line right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in her first month in office, Sanders acknowledged the suffering Palestinians endure under illegal Israeli occupation, and dared to mention what almost no American politicians ever do — namely, that Israel has engaged in crimes of its own.

It appears some politicians will allow Israel to dictate America's foreign policy.

“We cannot ignore the reality that you have large numbers of Palestinians who are suffering now, poverty rate off the charts, unemployment off the charts, Gaza remaining a destroyed area,” Sanders said in the interview.

Israel “cannot just simply expand when it wants to expand with new settlements,” Sanders stressed. “So I think the United States has got to help work with the Palestinian people as well. I think that is the path toward peace.”

They will soon label Bernie anti-Semite.

Bernie is Jewish, no? What a conundrum for some voters!

[Mosiah]

I know!

How many Jews hold this position? How many can express it and still be allowed to attend their synagogue?

Bernie nuh ansa to no one.

[Sir X]

No - the Jews call it self hating Jew - anti semite is reserved for us , the semites ...lol

[Muadib]

Are their Jews in Israel that hold a similar position to Bernie ?

[Lazie]

Bernie is Jewish, no? What a conundrum for some voters!

Thank you for pointing out to them. There was a Jewish conference last month where all the candidates spoke .... Bernie told them no. Bernie cannot be labelled antisemitic .... so he can do and say as he please.

[Rockman]

Yes,but their views are censored the same way as, soon to be extinct,the native native Singaporeans.

Arabs are Semitic people too...
