BRATTLEBORO, VT — A group of local activists is urging Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to visit the Gaza Strip and observe the conditions on the ground.
On Friday, from 5 to 8 p.m., at Pliny Park, Brattleboro Solidarity will host a rally "in solidarity with Palestinians demonstrating nonviolently for their rights."
"Our main objective is to pressure Bernie Sanders to visit Gaza and see for himself the unjust conditions of the people trying to survive," said Anna Mullany on behalf of Brattleboro Solidarity. "With Bernie, the media will follow, bearing witness to the occupation and resistance of Palestinians. We hope you will join in condemning the atrocious acts of violence perpetrated on nonviolent protesters and demand justice in Palestine."
In addition to hosting the rally, Brattleboro Solidarity is urging people to write letters to Sanders and call his office.
"Gaza is unlivable," said Mullany. "Palestinians are risking their lives. It is important that we act."

He should go to Venezuela.
He should wear one of those kaffiyeh scarves when he visits. Or a facemask.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, Tool-Vt
Go, Bernie, Go. What could go wrong?
right, send a nice jewish boy to give aid and comfort to the enemy trying to destroy israel ...
He can dress up in an Antifa uniform...he would fit right in, in Gaza.
I am all in favor of this. For whatever attention or propaganda Bernie thinks he might get out of it, the ridiculous number of ways it could turn into a disaster (for him) is almost too high to count.
Hopefully most of the radical leftist Israeli leaders would travel to Gaza to hover around him, as “collateral damage”.
Communism is an evil, murderous political ideology that caused the deaths of more than 100 million people in the 20th century.
The purpose of socialism is communism. - Vladimir Lenin
Bernie Sanders admits to being a socialist.
Ergo, Bernie Sanders is evil.
This reminds me of Leon Trotsky going to Mexico City.
...and stay.
I need to remember that quote. Thanks.
“...pressure Bernie Sanders to visit Gaza and see for himself...”
To know the truth he needs to LEARN for himself; that would require a 6 month stay - right there.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
