Indirectly invoking the left-wing and Islamic narrative of Israel’s existence as the cause of political dysfunction in the Middle East, Senator Bernie Sanders implied to supporters at a campaign rally on Monday in Dearborn, Michigan - home of one of the nation’s largest Arab and Muslim communities - that “hatred and warfare” in the Middle east region were the fault of Israel.
Praising former Democrat presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton for their presumably good faith-endeavors to resolve the Israeli-Arab conflict, Sanders implied that America unjustifiably treated the various parties unequally.
In other words, allegedly favorable treatment of Israel at the expense of its Arab enemies needed to change. Moral relativism was also deployed via implication, declaring all sides as entitled to equal treatment.
“For decades now, there has been hatred and warfare in the Middle East,” Sander said. “All I can tell you is I will make every single effort to bring rational people on both sides [of the Israel/Arab conflict] together, so that hopefully we can have through a level playing field - the United States treating everybody in that region equally - hopefully, and I know that there are people of goodwill in Israel and the Arab communities,”
Attributing regional conflict to Israel’s existence by conflating Israel with the entirety of the Middle East, Sanders neglected to comment on the roles of Muslim and Arab social and cultural pathologies driving the “hatred and warfare” of the region.
Approximating the modern state of Israel’s age - sixty-seven years - Sanders pushed via implication the narrative framing peace between Jews and Arabs in and around Israel as the master key to regional utopia, asserting, "We cannot continue to have for another sixty years the kind of hatred and conflict that exists in the Middle East.”
Earlier in his address, Sanders described Muslims in America as being “scapegoated” by Donald Trump, framing them as an at-risk minority group in need of benevolent Democrat protection while simultaneously casting the Republican front-runner as a modern iteration of Adolf Hitler, as per the weekly left-wing media narrative.
Sanders was introduced by Representative Keith Ellison, whose endorsement he procured months earlier.
Searching for Bobby Fischer....
Bernie is exactly what Dearborn does not need right now. They don’t need any apologists for radical Muslim violence and lack of self control. Wake up, Bernie. You would be their sworn enemy the moment you say one wrong word.
Bernie, God is watching. You don’t mess with His chosen people.
A Mohammedan who took the oath of office on a Koran.
Bernie's rhetoric sounds like the nonsense published in Israel's liberal newspaper, Haaretz. Moral relativism. Moral bankruptcy.
oh good. just what we need. a self hating Jew as president of the US.
lots of self hating Christians and Jews already in the country. Why not have a leader like that.
one thing Obama did do is finally destroy that STUPID idea that Israel pulled US strings.
obviously not, since Obama treats them like Salon treats Trump and Cruz.
They are just a country of six million trying to survive, surrounded by animals.
but you get used to the murders and attacks.
kind of like we are, what with a terrorist attack here, one there...no biggie.
one difference is Israel takes the attacks VERY SERIUOSLY. unfortunately, it’s become part of life
Obama loves Muslims, particularly those of Mid-East/North Africa origin, because all they know is Sociaiism - strong-man statism, conspiracy theories, constant political agitation.
Socialism and Islam are two sides of the same coin.

Communists are aligned with Islam. Don’t forget it.

Another self hating Jew. How loathsome and pathetic can you get!

Introduced by a stinking mozlem. Sanders is a steaming sack of crap.

Bernie is dragging the Democrat party so far to the left, and he’s taking Hillary along for the ride..

Dear God that’s heartbreaking.
FU Bernie, you old vile pos - I can’t wrap my brain around this a*hole actually saying this!
He doesn’t have to say one word, wrong or otherwise. He’s an infidel—good enough reason to be killed.
Lobs are morons.
