You're viewing a single thread.
Over 2 years later, now he's concerned about weapons to Israel?
Here's Bernie in 1988 talking about Israeli war crimes against Palestine: https://youtu.be/TocimL0AT1w
Don't bother. These people thought Gaza was the place in Egypt with the big pyramid prior to Oct 7
As always, with your kind… tokenism.
Someone who wasn’t born with infinite knowledge of the universe is dismissed simply for disagreeing with this hollow virtue signaling that serves more as an advertisement for israel than anything substantive.
If he were truly anti-fascist, he’d be fighting fascists rather than throwing his frail fists at the wind.
Wake up and realize that your political system is flawed and has been bought out for a long time. The sooner you see this, the more time you’ll have to prepare for what comes next, because as you can see, it’s coming really fast.
Also, dismissing the opinions of non-americans even though your president and your government are actively threatening violence, undermining governments, and propping up fascists around the world only proves how disconnected and egocentric you are.
As always, with your kind
My kind eh?
Wake up and realize that your political system is flawed and has been bought out for a long time.
Bro holy shit, how have I never seen this before?? You've changed my life.
My kind eh?
The hypocrites, the ones who would gladly side with the conservatives if it didn’t hurt their egos and their constructed self-image.
You dismissed arguments with fallacious arguments and a condescending tone. What if someone discovered Gaza last year? ten years ago? The more people are aware the less power the genocidal entity holds and the more soft power and support they lose.
Bro holy shit, how have I never seen this before?? You've changed my life.
Glad people have already tried to confront you about these kinds of statements.
So you had to go back to 1988? Not a word the last 3 years
You're either purposely trying to turn people against Sanders or willfully ignorant. He's been speaking against Israel forever.
Voted for US intervention in the following nations: Afghanistan, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Yugoslavia,2, Bosnia, Haiti, Congo, Liberia, Sudan, and Ukraine.
Supports drone bombing: "They have, at times, been effective.". Another interview: "Drones have done some good things. They've been selective; they've taken out people who should be taken out"
Bernie is against open borders, believes in strong border and anti-immigration policies.
Supports GW Bush. Supported warmonger John McCain after his death.He is a POS snake
Ukraine
There it is
Oh no, are you triggered about those Banderite US proxies? Fuck them
What's wrong with a strong border and well-regulated immigration?
Funny how you dismissed 85% of his comment.
When someone makes a gish gallop, you're not obligated to address every point.
You’re absolutely not, but addressing this one particular point while overlooking the damning others is an interesting choice.
They're not damning. It's a gish gallop.
Did he voted for the 2001 AUMF in Afghanistan?
Did he voted for the 1988 Iraq Liberation Act?
Did he endorsed 2024 U.S./UK strikes on Yemen?
Did he support bombing Yugoslavia in the nineties?
Did he backed Libya regime change?
Did he backed drone strikes in Somalia?
These questions are legitimate, funnily, he always does the american thing right before backtracking. He’s the perfect "anti war" controlled politicians.
Is it funny? They obviously just want to fling shit around; I have better things to do.
Of course it’s not funny, as it perfectly displays the hypocrisy of many on the left.
Why even engage if that was the case? You could have reasonably countered his point, not for him, but for the other readers on this thread.
Ok obviously I'm also flinging shit around. Is this not a public forum?
Yes, keeping refugees out (caused by his own miserable shithole BTW) bcs it would make the US poorer is definitely a very left -wing social stance.
If you have that shitty right-wing opinion then fine.
He can too but then he should stop pretending with his progressive act.
speaking, there you have it.
And he was also against the ceasefire.
Voted in favor of moving the coloniser capital to Jerusalem, etc.
not the word genocide, that's for sure.
A lot of israhell has the right to defend itself! and Hamas bad!Because he's said multiple times that that word should instead be attributed by the international court of justice
https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/09/politics/video/israel-genocide-bernie-sanders-collins-source-digvid
Its intentional that he doesn't say genocide, because its a powerful legal word and he believes its not his place to apply it - however his stance and his actions are clear - abundantly clear - latching onto this one point, that he explicitly has a rationale for is silly at best, and deceptive at worst.
IDC about his BS laughable explanation.
So you care about what he dosent say, but dont care about what he actually says and does.
Got it.
This book should fulfill all your goals - it doesn't leave a single word unsaid: https://shop.merriam-webster.com/products/websters-third-new-international-dictionary-unabridged?_pos=1&_fid=95a7efe7f&_ss=c
says and does.
those are two different things. Not a difficult concept to grasp. Say one thing and do another, that's what politicians do.
This US imperialist warmonger fake leftists is no different.And I certainly do care that he DID say shitrael has the right to defend itself over and over again.
You’re a one note clown. Your entire post history is trying to shit on AOC and Bernie. Sorry for whatever shithole you come from. 🌻🌻🌻
LOL you're the shithole banana republic.
Nothing pleases me more than watching it go down in flames.
I'm from a civilised EU country with actual left wing politicians, I can only laugh at you lashing out like a frustrated toddler.
I do hope our politicians finally break ties with your cancer to the world country and let you rot like you deserve.
Bye now, don't cry to much.
You've both mentioned the same "Israel has a right to defend itself" quote. I'd be curious to know when/where he said that.
I'd be curious why TF you can't look that up yourself in 2 seconds and ask a loaded question as to imply he didn't?
Because other people are reading this and the burden of proof is on you.
What you mean this what everyone can Google?
Just to make him out as the clown he is:

He'll still be the liberal darling as long as he doesn't challenge their right wing world view.
Are you new? You don't know who Sanders is?
Perfect face for a controlled opposition: old, weak-looking, peaceful in the face of extreme violence and fascism, never achieved any meaningful political success for years, calming yet ineffective, projecting an image of resistance while ensuring no substantial change occurs, suppress genuine dissent by emasculating opposition into harmless and useless protests.
He’s only relevant because he present a façade of resistance in order to disarm public outrage and prevent mobilization for systemic change.
He’s so dangerous for the ruling entities yet was never removed. Why?
They removed him from the presidency in 2016.
Almost like democrats wanted trump to win.
I recognize a pattern.
I know who Mr 'Israel has a right to defend itself' Sanders is
do you even know who bernie sanders is?
A person liberals hated until he fell in line
Going for the record of most total downvotes on Lemmy?
Don't care about down votes from victims of propaganda
You poor thing. You have an incredibly unfounded and skewed version of reality. I hope you one day learn to think critically.
Braindead victims of propaganda want me to think critically...
Nah that's just basic trolling. .ML and a consistent contrarian .
I need to pay more attention to the instances.
You shouldn't have to and from my experience is a very small amount on that specific instance. When i see someone repeating the same thing though, consistently, multiple times in a post i just block and move on.
Yep, done.
LOL ok
