Sanders says Americans 'should tone down the rhetoric' on Israel-Palestine and 'bring people together'
The Week via Yahoo ^ | May 23rd, 2021 | Tim O'Donnell

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday said "we should tone down the rhetoric." when asked about an uptick in attacks against Jewish people in the United States in the last week that at least appears to be correlated to the fighting that broke out between Israel and Hamas overseas.

CBS News' John Dickerson tried to gauge Sanders' view on the notion that some Democratic lawmakers may have inadvertently contributed to the "vitriol" against American Jews with their harsh critiques of the Israeli government. Dickerson specifically noted that some members of Congress, likely referring to Sanders' allies Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), have recently referred to Israel as an "apartheid state." Sanders didn't address anyone directly or explicitly state how he feels about the use of "apartheid," but he did say the "job of the United States is to bring people together."

Dear Bernie, there is NO Palestine..seriously every time I hear someone on TV say “Palestine” I want to throw my sandwich at the TV..there is NO Palestine..oh and Bernie, you hate the Jews, Hate Israel, but NOW you want to tone down the rhetoric..Im calling for impeachment hearings for AOC, Tlaib, Omar, and Bernie..if Trump can get impeached for saying “Go peacefully and patriotically protest” than those four f*ckers can be impeached for calling for the total annihilation of Israel

Gee - now why didn’t FDR think of that? If only he had told Hitler to tone down the rhetoric, we might have avoided a big war.

Never take advice from a ne’er-do-well that was too lazy to have a real job.

Bernie Sanders introduces resolution to block arms sale to Israelhttps://www.cbsnews.com › news › israel-gaza-us-weap

And he trolled for cheap votes by using a yarmulke as a prop and helping light a big outdoor menorah when he hoped to get the nomination away from Biden. After being a secular Jew sneering at religious ones for decades, he needed a few votes and some money. December 13, 2019 in Iowa at a Chabad ceremony for Passover.

One big problem that many religions face is the lack of authority to say to one of their straying members that they either need to clean up their act or stop calling themselves a member.

Catholics at least used to excommunicate those who went nuts, but I don’t think that Jews have any mechanism to do that at all, other than divine intervention.

I’d like to bring people together; those Hamas people on the surface with those buried by the IDF.

Bernie, you ignorant slut, you should tell your supporters to tone down their rhetoric ... and stay away from Congressional softball games.
