Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Sunday called Israel’s government “racist” and suggested that there should be strings attached to US aid to Israel.
Speaking to CBS’ “Face the Nation”, Sanders was asked by interview Margaret Brennan if he thinks democracy is in peril in Israel.
“I do. I am very worried about what Netanyahu is doing and some of his allies in government and what may happen to the Palestinian people,” replied the Senator, who is Jewish.
“And let me tell you something, I mean, I haven't said this publicly. But I think the United States gives billions of dollars in aid to Israel. And I think we've got to put some strings attached to that and say you cannot run a racist government. You cannot turn your back on a two-state solution. You cannot demean the Palestinian people there. You just can't do it and then come to America and ask for money,” he added.

“The lady doth protest too much, methinks”
Bernie parroting the antisemitism on Gab again.
Finally! Something I agree with Sanders on!!
Not antisemitism to point out that Israel basically runs the US.
Well, Bernie, our government is also currently racist - pushing anti-white propaganda. Maybe we should attach strings to the aid we give the government.
Bernie you old yenta, please STFU and go away!
I can think of an object where string around it would
undoubtedly help.
How about some conditions on the money the Palestinians get, like stop paying a bounty for murdering Jews?
Not antisemitism, just lunacy.
Socialist twit Sanders is socialist twit.
Bernie writes pornographic stories that are racist.
In the UK, the left of center Labour party is distancing itself from their former leader Corbin and his antisemitic views... The US Democratic left of center party on the other hand is embracing antisemites. It’s shameful and disgusting.
3.5 billion in aid, which must be spent on American-made firearms, such as M16s and WW II era M1s. About 1 percent of the Israel budget, that. Loan guarantees from George HW Bush, which had plenty of strings attached, never even used, because not needed. No strings attached? Please.
“Racist”. Objecting to and defending against constant, ongoing deadly attacks for the past 100 years is “racist”. We’re not the ones calling Palestinians “the sons of pigs and apes” or calling for genocide.
I’m not protesting enough, just to Bernie’s ignorance and idiocy.
Bernie, the bloviating fake Jew.
More and logical consistency is the hobgoblin of the left.
Not helping Israel pretty much guarantees the end of Israel.
However, they pay US back, I believe, with services of information gathering for the US. I think it would cost more, in the long run, to try and maintain intelligence on our own in the ME.
GFY you stinking Commie bastard.
No one cares what you think Bernie. No one.
