Sanders has 'no opinion' on 1967 borders
Israel HaYom ^ | 4/10/16 | Yoni Hersch, Erez Linn, Israel Hayom Staff and Reuters

Posted on 04/10/2016 11:15:56 PM PDT by Nachum

Only days after falsely claiming that Israel killed more than 10,000 innocent Palestinians during Operation Protective Edge, Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders found himself on Friday again facing questions about his knowledge, or lack thereof, of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In an MSNBC interview on Friday, Sanders was asked whether he had an opinion on whether Israel should withdraw to the 1967 borders. "Not at this point," Sanders replied.

In the same MSNBC interview, Sanders said, "What I believe, first of all, is there are good people on both sides and there are political opportunists on both sides. As somebody who is Jewish, who has lived in Israel for a few months when I was a young man, who has family in Israel, I believe that of course the security of Israel, the independence of Israel, the right of Israel to live in peace and security, is paramount, but you have to recognize the plight of the Palestinians.

One more Jew hating Leftist. He’ll probably get a lot of votes from some of them too, sad to say.

The Jew boy distances himself from his people only to be slam-dunked by bigots, therefore he has an opinion and then does not have an opinion about the West Bank.

It always plays itself out in the same way, a self-denying Jew plays the “justice” oriented, “Hey, I am not like them” Jew only to be reminded by Jew haters that YES, you are them.

Now watch the Jew boy squirm. Instead of trying to play the Atheist, Socialist “I am not tribal Jew”, try embracing your people Mr. Sanders and embrace the Zionists amongst us as well.

It won't help you to run away from the truth.

Here is the “plight of the Palestinians” in a nutshell—they’re angry and frustrated that it’s so hard to kill Jews.

I'm sure it's hard work, coming up with endless rationalizations that fit whatever today's political objective is.

No mentioning that Sanders is a Socialist? None of the media ever does that.

The Nazis would have gassed ol’ Bernie just the same. His protestations of “I”m not like THEM” would have done him no good. They would have seen him as a Jew anyway. It makes my skin crawl to have to share a religion with this filthy self-hating Jew. And what he says seems to resonate with our ignorant self-involved young people. THAT is scary! I also know a middle aged social studies teacher who told me he’s for Bernie. One would have figured that by his age, he’d have a little more sense. Guess not.

That and a buck will get you a cup of coffee.

Anybody who thinks that this is enough to make The Bern buck the prevailing Lefty view that Israel must be destroyed is deluding himself.

It's not for a lack of trying.

To be a leftist is to deny reality, and it the belief that the only reason it's never worked in the past because the "right people" weren't running things requires a level of hubris that can make your head spin.

And of course, it always helps to have a scapegoat, and the Jews are great at that. I've always found it interesting how much hatred self-denying Jews have for religious Jews and Israel.

My extended family is full of those Jews who probably consider Israel the equals of the Palestinians... They are so half informed. They just don’t get it.

And as for Bernie, I remember one of the first Dem debates, with multiple people participating, I heard in the car. I didn’t know who anyone was by voice, except the Cackler. I kept hearing this old Brooklynite who was obviously enthralled by his own voice, saying the most wrong things I ever heard. EXTREMELY ARROGANT yet EXTREMELY WRONG. I didn’t realize that was Bernie Sanders until later. He sounded like an old leftist college professor that hadn’t left campus since 1977 nor cracked open a book or newspaper since.

Actually, I think he is in favor of returning to the pre-1947 borders.
