Bernie Sanders threatens to ‘leverage’ US aid to combat Israel ‘racism’
Fox News ^ | August 14 2019 | Ronn Blitzer

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., threatened Tuesday to use billions of dollars in aid to Israel as “leverage” to combat what he called “racism” from the Jewish state’s government, while going so far as to compare America's Israel alliance to its relationship with Saudi Arabia.

Sanders, one of the leading candidates in the Democratic presidential primary race and an increasingly vocal critic of the Netanyahu government, said during a New Hampshire town hall event that the U.S. should take a broader view of the Middle East – and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in particular – and not always side with Israel.

A definition of an ultimate hypocrite is a Jewish liberal.

Yes but the importance of the fact to Bernie is way down on the list.

“Isn’t Sanders Jewish?...”

By birth and upbringing, but he fell away long ago.

IIRC, back in the 70s, a journalist accused Anwar Sadat of being an Anti-semite. Sadat said, “You idiot — I am a Semite!”

For Sanders to speak of Israeli “racism” in this context is ridiculous.

Heck, nearly 40% of the Jews in Israel hate their nation, including Israel’s courts, bureaucrats and universities. It’s called ‘post-Zionism’.

Bernie has plenty of company among American Jews and even Israelis!

Yes, yes, yes... We get it.

According to the current, trendy “progressive” worldview, the ultimate “Israel Racism” is that it DARES to exist in the first place.

As the slogan goes: “From the river to the sea, all of Occupied Palestine shall be free!”

The dream of a Judenrein Palestine is alive and well.

Any attempt to establish or preserve a nation with a distinct culture and firm borders will be labeled by the globalists as racism.

If he is on meds, he needs to change the prescription.
Bernie is sounding more crazy every day.
If a GOP candidate said something like this, he would be doomed from ever holding political office.
Other than mayor of Berkley, CA, Madison, WI, Portland, OR or Seattle.

Are Jews and “Palestinians” actually different RACES???

These leftists have gone completely off the rails with their new definition of racism.

the ultimate “Israel Racism” is that it DARES to exist in the first place.

Somewhat similar to President Trump's situation -- the Left made false accusations against him about colluding with Russia. Trump DARED to fight these false charges -- which somehow became "obstruction of justice" and somehow impeachable.

Some folks are just "guilty" because they exist.

No, he’s a Communist.

Whatever else he may or may not be doesn’t matter.
