In a speech about the dangers of bigotry at a memorial for the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, Bernie Sanders included Israel in a list of countries where he claims authoritarianism is rising.
Sanders, the democratic socialist Vermont senator, was the keynote speaker at a virtual memorial event hosted by Bend The Arc, a left-wing Jewish advocacy group. The event, held a day after the two-year anniversary of the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh in which 11 Jews were killed, centered on warning of the dangerous effects of white supremacy and xenophobia.
Sanders spoke about how relatives of his were murdered in the Holocaust, and how he understands the threat posed when white supremacists gain power. He then spoke about how white supremacy targets Jews and all minorities, and how it poses a threat to liberal democracy. He then segued to speaking about how illiberalism and authoritarianism were on the rise around the world, including in Israel.
“They don’t just hate Jews,” he said of white supremacists. “They hate the idea of multiracial democracy. They hate the idea of political equality. They hate immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ people, women and anyone else who stands in the way of their bigotry and racist ideology. All over the world — in Russia, in India, in Brazil, in Hungary, in Israel and elsewhere, we see this rise of a divisive and destructive form of politics. We see intolerant authoritarian political leaders attacking the very foundations of democratic societies.”
Sanders was frequently critical of Netanyahu while he was running for president earlier this year.
Later on the Bend the Arc call, Sanders said he was “a proud member of the tradition of Jewish social justice” and called on listeners to “dedicate ourselves to build a country that embodies the values of equality, democracy and...

In Bernie’s language, “impediment to the Communist agenda” = “authoritarian”.
He doesn’t mind it, mind you. He’s just upset its not his kind.
Are they forcing medical students to perform abortions against their religious beliefs? Depriving patients their choice of a primary care physician?

“They hate the idea of multiracial democracy”
Hilarious
When my family was fighting each other at Gettysburg and Antietam, his gang was living in a Shtetl in the Pale of Settlement, and probably never heard of a place called America.
Maybe he could sell all the taxpayer funded houses, move to Nigeria, and bitterly complain about their monoracial democracy.
That oughta last about 15 minutes before they throw him in the pot.
I would have thought Sanderism snd Zionism had a few things in common, but I guess Sanderism and Xists are more closely aligned.
“Socialist” is a nice way of calling him pro-Despotic COMMUNIST.

Bernie hoping this will help Joe put it over the top, an issue dear to the left Joe won't talk about. Actions speak louder than words.
They are the masters of projection.
“In Bernie’s language, “impediment to the Communist agenda” = “authoritarian”.”
It’s true. The progressives have a coded language all their own.
Capitalism and fascism are somehow the same to them.
And they consider giving people freedom to run their lives, authoritarianism.
This twisting of language is why PC speak is so insidious and destructive.
I think it started with calling “bums” and “vagabonds” the loaded word “homeless”.
Thanks Eleutheria5. What a POS he is.
He doesn't need to. He has only claimed that authoritarianism is "on the rise" in Israel. In most Islamic states, it's topped out at close to 100%, and can't rise further.
