Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “reactionary racist” while defending his support for Israel at Tuesday night’s Democratic debate.
"I'm very proud of being Jewish. I actually lived in Israel for some months. But what I happen to believe is that right now, sadly, tragically, in Israel, through Bibi Netanyahu, you have a reactionary racist who is now running that country," Sanders said at the debate in Charleston, S.C., just days ahead of the state's Democratic primary.
Sanders's comments came the same week that he said he wouldn't be attending the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference, accusing the pro-Israel lobbying group of providing a platform to “leaders who express bigotry.”
“The Israeli people have the right to live in peace and security,” Sanders tweeted Sunday. “So do the Palestinian people. I remain concerned about the platform AIPAC provides for leaders who express bigotry and oppose basic Palestinian rights.”
AIPAC shot back that Sanders “has never attended our conference and that is evident from his outrageous comment.”

Anyone that does agree with their insanity is a racist or phobic.
Actually, i’m a Bernardaphobe.
I think we’re seeing a Bernie nomination and a Trump landslide.
So how is he going to deal with Israel with slime talk like this?
There is a large anti Zionist, thinly disguised anti Semitic constituency within the Democratic Party and within the American electorate. Ironically they have their champion in Sanders, a man who claims to be a proud Jew.
Gee whiz Bernie. You are a straight white male. Doesn’t that make you racist by default?
Decades of Muslim terrorism since 48 isn’t enough to react to apparently, just as neither was 14 centuries of naked unprovoked Islamic war before that ...
Bernie taking on AIPAC is beyond dumb—it will turn his candidacy into a suicide watch.
Tactics is not Bernie’s long suit. ;-)
Uh Oh Bernie . . . not a good thing to mess with Israel. . . God’s most favored nation.
‘So how is he going to deal with Israel with slime talk like this?’
He, (bernie) isn’t going to deal with Israel, if he should be elected, (heaven forbid) he will just cut Israel off at the knees.
Harshly.
Bernie isn’t fit to shine Bibi’s shoes.
I watched Bibi on Levin last weekend.
It was clear he is worried about the ultra left in Israel who are pretending to be “middle of the road” just to get elected.
I’d say in 2020, Trump, Bibi, Boris, the leaders of Hungary, Poland and Austria need to have a Summit to discuss how to combat this propaganda threat.
“reactionary” - which my dictionary defines as ultraconservative . . . thank you for the compliment on that part, Bernie.
“racist” - standard leftist smear that really has come to mean “you are not a radical leftist like me”. . . again, thanks for the compliment, Bernie!!!!
It says somewhere in the Old Testament, “These are my chosen people, and I am the Lord.”
Here’s a couple of the verses . . . when Abraham was called. Thus says the Lord!
Genesis 12:2-3 I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
I’m just waiting for him to drop dead in the middle of one of his self-hating rages. G-d 1, Sanders 0.
This guy has bought the Marxist BS hook line and sinker! I wanna see Trump shred this old commie bastard and make him look like the fool he is!
