Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said Monday that part of the $3.8 billion in annual US military assistance to Israel should instead go toward humanitarian relief in Gaza.
The Vermont senator, speaking at the annual J Street national conference, vowed to use American military aid as leverage to get Israel to roll back its settlement enterprise and enter peace negotiations with the Palestinians, an idea that has gained ground among some Democrats.
I would use the leverage of $3.8 billion, he told the confab, referring to the US-Israel memorandum of understanding brokered under the Obama administration. It is a lot of money, and we cannot give it carte blanche to the Israeli government, or for that matter to any government at all. We have a right to demand respect for human rights and democracy.

No fool like an old fool, and this is one old fool. But there are many Americans who will vote for him. And that is truly frightening.
Seriously. F*ck this guy.
Geeze...
What a fool.
Sounds like a quid pro quo to me...
Hey Jackass, Arafat died with a few billion in the bank. Where did that money—all of it from US taxpayers—go? Why not give a few of those dollars back to Gaza? They certainly need more tunnels to attack Israel. Bernie, you are a slut, an utter fool, and a retromingent bastard. GFY.
“I would use the leverage of $3.8 billion...”
Sanders is attempting to hold the nation of Israel hostage by threatening to cut off their fund that they are entitled.
That money, all of it, belongs to Israel.
OK, I caved and had to look up ‘retromingent’. Good one.
Our “humanitarian relief in Gaza” should consist of container loads of bacon, short ribs, pork loins and lots of Stubbs Mop’n Sauce.
mY LORD ALMIGHTY! giving aid to continue the evil terrorist-laden Muslim Occupation of Israel’s Promised Land?!
NO WAY BERNIE!!!!!! YOU’ve Jumped the Shark, gone Off the Rail, Slipped on your own Sheit!
STFU and retire to one of your nice homes, already!!!
-For Heaven’s sake!
the ONLY $$ I would give any of the Muslim terrorists would be “humanitarian” (since Bernie likes that term so much)...aid to MOVE to some dam* island far far away where they can’t hurt anybody anymore!
and some of the $ can then be used for naval and air patrols to make sure they STAY there on their Muslim Paradise island.
Because our elderly, roads, bridges, vets, & homeless need no help. Okay......
then drop Bernie right in the middle of that island and we’ll see how his bff terrorista Muslims show their appreciation for him supporting their murder gangsterism, bombings, and threats
Just croak you worthless anti-semite, and take Jimmy Carter with you.
I hate to say this about an older person, but this guy looks in need of around the clock care.
He’s been around long enough to have at least some kind of clue what the Arabs on the West Bank and in Gaza have planned.
He’s operating under the delusion they haven’t been given aide. That isn’t even close to true.
As for military aide, to do what, attack Israel?
Uh no.
gee sounds like a quid pro quo I thought that was a doggy no no oh now I remember it’s ok to do that as long as you are a commie
Please for goodness sake..please make it stop!!!!
While I fully support Us military aid to Isrsel, neither Israel or any other nation is entitled to that aid.
Why are we giving any military aid to Israel. Not saying it should go to Gaza, but Israel can support itself.
Hey, Bernie, you go first, and explain to them that while you are a Jew, they shouldn’t cut you head off, because you feel guilty about it...
Palestinkian symp.And doesn’t like Israel.
