Would somebody in Congress please listen to Bernie Sanders for a change?
That would require more people outside of Congress to listen to him, first.
Sorry, Congress is allergic to success.
If only this dude was allowed to be the Democratic front-runner in 2016. Things could be so much better…
This isn’t really a big news story, Bernie has been doing this pretty consistently. Yes, he was doing it under Biden too. Yes, this is purely performative, it won’t have enough votes. No, this isn’t antisemitic.
It won’t get enough votes, but it will force people to vote and show who they really are.
Bernie is literally the only politician I would trust with this country at this point. What a bunch of fuck ups and morons
Netanyahu’s “defense” is mass civilian slaughter, funded by U.S. taxpayers. Sanders calls it what it is.
😺😺😺😺😺
Clearly, Bernie Sanders is an antisemite. He’s attempting to stop genocide. How dare he?
Now that Trump is in office. Bernie ignored the children being bombed in Gaza for the past 16 months because he is a Democrat shill.
He tried to stop the weapons last year as well. Because Bernie is not a shill, he’s pretty fucking cool.
Which is why the media often goes out of their way to ignore him.
I’m pretty sure Bernie doesn’t like you either. I don’t like you.
Remember, sometimes not speaking is the best thing you can say!
I don’t think we should give away weapons to Israel, but why should sales be blocked? Israel has a right to defend itself.
Yeah with genocide… fuck Israel, they are trash humans.
It’s actually just a limitation of the weapon system. Unfortunately, they switched to the foreskin guidance systems.
don’t feed the troll
Do Palestinians have a right to defend themselves?
They attacked Israel
That wasn’t the question.

Troll detected. Could be an incel too.
Don’t feed anyway.
I think what they’ve done is far more than merely defending themselves.
Yes, Hamas is evil and did heinous things to the Israeli people, but the response was disproportionate and targeted civilians. Even the lowest estimates show that one in every fifty people in Gaza have been killed, and that number includes mostly women and children, not combatants. Heck, other estimates show nearly double that death toll.
And let’s not even start on the forced displacement of almost a million (!!!) people.
Don’t forget the public admission from Israel that they want to kill everyone in Gaza that doesn’t leave.
Also, they’re not letting anyone leave.

This. It goes far beyond reckless, far beyond callous; it’s literal genocide.
My friend the real death toll could be ten times the 40k killed I’m being told by the media. I don’t know, I’ve never been there. Everything is so fucked it’s hard to know who to believe.
The UN has published the estimated deaths to be at least 200k+ because of famine and the lack of medical care.
- Humanitarian aid was blocked
- Food trucks were stopped
- Hospitals are bombed
That’s a Genocide.
Oh yeah, I’m using very low numbers (ie. just the bodies who have been identified) so there’s little room for argument. The actual death toll is unknowable because it’s so large.
Oh yeah, no doubt about it. I just can’t ever know how many bodies are under the remains of their buildings. I imagine that could even be a conservative number. I doubt they were doing a census.
It’s making me sick thinking about it every day and I’m so privileged to even have the luxury of giving a shit.
To add to what the other guy said: As Hamas is an insurgency working in territory that Israel is illegally occupying, Israel does not in fact have a right to defend itself. It has no right to do anything except get the fuck out of Gaza (including its territorial waters and airspace).
The money for these “sales” is aid from the US government.
Israel is unique in that they are the only country that gets its aid from the US government on January 1st, with interest, in cash. They have to use a part of it on American weapons and the rest they just get in cash.
I’m sure Sanders also has a bill or intentions to stop that, but that would be a separate bill.
Then don’t give it to them for free
Free would be a bargain compared to what US taxpayers are actually paying lol 😂
