Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Sunday called for a more "balanced" American Middle East policy, deeming Israel's actions in the 2014 Gaza war "disproportionate."
"The only way we succeed (in the Middle East) is that if the United States plays the role which is of course we are going to support Israel, but you cannot ignore the needs of the Palestinian people," Sanders told CNN in an interview.
Dismissing the relevance of his Jewish background, Sanders replied, "I would hope that every person in this country wants to see the misery of never-ending war and conflict ended in the Middle East."
The comments come days after Sanders sparked a firestorm when he claimed Israel killed 10,000 Palestinian Arabs during the 2014 Operation Protective Edge in an interview with the New York Daily News
I dont have it in my number
but I think its over 10,000. My understanding is that a whole lot of apartment houses were leveled. Hospitals, I think, were bombed. So yeah, I do believe and I dont think Im alone in believing Israels force was more indiscriminate than it should have been, he said.

Never ending war in the Middle East? As long as there is Islam, there will be.
Another self-hating Jew.
If Bernie is elected president, the Middle East will be the least of our problems.
I know what liberals mean when they use words like “comprise” or “balanced”.
The Jewish People had their anti- Semites (and quislings) long long long before the Nazis or islamonazis even came on the world scene. Anyone that adopts communism/ socialism as their guiding star usually is a biblical apostate — or self- hater or effectively an atheist -—and needs careful discernment by all the rest of us. As this is Bernie’s consistent chant, just look how very very sad the D party’s become ———their only two presidential candidates are both socialists and anti-.semitic/ catering to anti-Biblical types at home and abroad. Please Pray for America, as it appears that the g O p party bosses are conspiring to throw another election to the D’s
The best way to shut up the BDS morons is to ask them why Israel has a presence in Gaza and the West Bank. They have no idea
