He has focused more of his time criticising the Nentayahu government specifically, rather than the fundamental concept of running a settler colony. He has only recently starting naming the full israeli government. He still believes in sending weapons, aid and trade to the occupation ensuring the continued murder of the Palestinians can continue.
Because ultimately Bernie still supports the conditions that will continue the genocide. He is still a liberal zionist. He will still buy a beachfront property in Gaza once it is cleansed but I guess its ok if he cries the entire time.
Watch the YouTube videos I posted where he is repeatedly introducing bills to stop ensuring exactly that, and yelling with pictures on the floor of the Senate about how important it is.
You're talking pure shit.
No, his bills were always weasely with what restrictions they placed. They always had easy to reach exceptions that continued the flow of trade to the occupation. They always allowed more Americans to settler in the land and steal homes from the Palestinians.
Bernie never truly has taken an anti-zionist position. He always ultimately props up the settler state. Even in his latest speech he blames the resistance.
Whee look at the goalposts go
Everyone knows if you're going to get a bill passed in the US Senate, the best thing you can do is include something in them where individuals can't trade with Israel anymore. Like Cuba. Just cutting off the flow of military aid would be useless and not accomplish anything, unless we included that totally possible and sensible step in addition, and then asked all the senators to vote on it.
I am honestly a little bit surprised to see so many people eager to jump up and provide examples of the type of bad faith argument I was talking about in my original comment.
Why are you making up what I said?
Failing to call it a genocide in 77 years is not moving a goalpost. Its basic human decency
Bad faith is what Bernie has done, always blaming Nentanyahu, continuing the flow of any arms, trade and people to the settler state.
Ah yes, who could forget that time he fought to continue the flow of any arms, trade, and people to the settler state. Which bill was that that he supported? What was the exception carved out, how was it carved out? Clearly I'm super clueless on this topic, what year did he introduce the bill? I want to know, maybe you can help me understand. I know there must have been hundreds if not thousands that he introduced, so just focus on one. Tell me.

"Offensive" arms only.
Surprisingly enough, a one-sentence Twitter link has led you astray!

The bill blocks a particular sale by Trump of weapons to Israel. It's not just offensive weapons, it's a specific list of weapons (everything in Trump's attempt) plus some US military support services "and other related elements of logistics and program support." What's carved out of it? It looks to me like it's blocking literally the entire sale.
I am done with this exchange, it is abundantly clear that you're happy to continue talking bollocks for as long as I'm willing to respond to you. It's been educational though! Like I say, I'm a little bit surprised that people popped up to do exactly what I described in the original comment, and also in a particularly ham-handed manner that makes it pretty obvious that they're just casting around for reasons to shit on Sanders.
Bernie's communication director lied? That sounds like a bad thing to do given they could be complicit in genocide.
So only offensive weapons then...
Carved out is the absence of Bernie blocking the iron dome missiles that israel uses to act with impunity... Bernie would never touch them since the existence of the occupation is necessary in his mind.
Yes yes please continue, I'm totally listening
You got the one example you wanted and you want to duck out already?
You don't get to make a massive post shaming people for criticising a politician and then get upset when people respond.
Don't go
I'll give you two upvotes, see if you can find the surprise in the YouTube videos, I am waiting
Don't give up now
Totally
Hey wait, don't go. So there's a prize hidden in one of those YouTube videos: Bernie Sanders says something about AIPAC. What does he have to say about it? I'll give you an upvote if you can find it and tell me.
I'm sorry your liberal zionist has been exposed, but when you said you were done with the exchange its weird to come back to it.
Three upvotes, final offer
