    calling antisemitism “a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to many millions of people”.

    “But, please, do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government. Do not use antisemitism to deflect attention from the criminal indictment you are facing in the Israeli courts. It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable for your actions,”

    Bernie is the model of what a politician should be. And about the only one left in the USA that gives a fuck about actual justice and truth.

      I like Sanders because he isn’t just another d/r. He speaks his mind, and I believe he believes in what he says. I would vote for him out of principle.

      That said, his ideas are idiotic for the most part, and he has no clue how the economy works.If elected the country would quickly become a wasteland if his ideas were implemented but I would feel decent voting for him at least.

      He was a sheepdog who’s job was to keep disenfranchised voters rounded up in the party with illusions of having a seat at the table.

      I mean, he did one better. He defined genocide in describing the explicit war crimes of Israel. I think it’s a little unreasonable to be angry that he didn’t use the term when he outright stated that Israel killed and injured 100,000, 70% of which are women and children, rendered a million people homeless and created famine conditions.

      I’d be more upset if he just said “genocide” and didn’t clarify the rest like he did.
