Only days after falsely claiming that Israel killed more than 10,000 innocent Palestinians during Operation Protective Edge, Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders found himself on Friday again facing questions about his knowledge, or lack thereof, of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In an MSNBC interview on Friday, Sanders was asked whether he had an opinion on whether Israel should withdraw to the 1967 borders. "Not at this point," Sanders replied.

In the same MSNBC interview, Sanders said, "What I believe, first of all, is there are good people on both sides and there are political opportunists on both sides. As somebody who is Jewish, who has lived in Israel for a few months when I was a young man, who has family in Israel, I believe that of course the security of Israel, the independence of Israel, the right of Israel to live in peace and security, is paramount, but you have to recognize the plight of the Palestinians.

Which ‘67 borders? The ones with Israeli troops in control of the Suez Canal? Or the ones where Gaza is occupied by Egypt and the West Bank annexed by Jordan?

I cannot imagine the degree of deception it takes for anyone visiting Israel to not understand who has the favor of G-d. It is a glaring example of good v. evil.
