Bernie your an amazing man .. I tried everything I could to make you my president I gave more to your campaigns than any other person in my 57 years. God bless you and yours .
Thank you for answering those ridiculous questions- the answers are obvious and were designed to cast doubt upon this being a genocide. You are the best Bernie!! Wish you were our nations President, you’ll always have my vote!
It’s really disgusting Bernie sanders is one of the ONLY people in US Govt who’s willing to recognize this problem. I’m so disillusioned by the democrats rhetoric around Gaza.
Wow, this country gonna be so lost when Bernie is gone. I hate to be negative, but nobody’s gonna step up and take his place. The bravest and strongest person in politics.
It’s a fear many of us share. But then it’s up to us to see that somehow he gets elected as our President. Maybe there is a legal way to have Biden step aside and Sanders becomes the alternate nominee.
Oh, he has a clue. He's just following his orders. He's not a journalist, he's a propagandist... big difference. One does research to find what is true...the other is given talking points to push a desired agenda.

@@charlescaplan6168 Sorry but your cope is just lies. The ICJ has said Israel’s actions plausibly amount to genocide. If I play the children’s game “Simon Says” and everyone who doesn’t move exactly right gets murdered, you can’t just shrug and say “well I told them where to go”. That is sociopath logic.
@@charlescaplan6168 Sorry but that is just lies and cope. The ICJ has ruled that Israel is plausibly committing a genocide and issued an injunction to prevent it. Israel has disregarded and accelerated their crimes. Just because Israel is playing the children's game "Simon Says" doesn't mean they can murder anyone who doesn't move exactly as they are told. That is sociopath logic.
I don't. He's a socialist. He hates democracy. He hates the Jewish people. He's not worried about the children. Why was he not heard when the Jewish children and babies were unalived?
Bernie sanders as the alternate democratic candidate, god forbid and just in case we need one, is very acceptable to me, if we god forbid, need one. 💜Bernie
Me and Bernie both are not into hostilities. Withholding humanitarian aid is a serious crime. When I heard Israel was invading this dense population I knew exactly what was going to happen. I never imagined Israel would withhold humanitarian aid.
@@smitty1647 I think the difference they’re stating is the difference between modern secular Jews vs Zionists. Secular modern Christians are far removed from the actual Bible also, which is a good thing in many ways, and in others not so good “Republican Jesus.”
Very brave, very straight forward, logical reasoning not beholden to the falseness and lies of influencers upon politicians. He should be president, but only problem is I fear he would assinated. Bernie Sanders doesn't play with or distort the truth
The world has been incredibly fortunate to have your voice all of the years you have given to the fight. We remain incredibly lucky to have you on the side of good, keep giving em hell Bernie we’re behind you all the way. Thank you for never giving up
please please please switch and run for pres. instead of senate. If you're healthy enough for the the senate run you are healthy enough for a presidential run - but run independent so the dems can't screw you again. Neither genocide joe or traitor trump belong in any office - we need you now Bernie - we need you to run again this time.
If he runs as an independent he'll get like 20 percent popular vote and 0 electoral votes. I want him to be president but not to waste time on a guaranteed loss
@@smitty1647 you don't know that - I think he can win at this point - I certainly would vote for him and will not vote for either trump or biden. I think most people would rather have bernie than either trump or biden at this point. but biden is losing now so . . .
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌️👍 God Bless You 🤲🤲🤲 Mr Le Sénateur Bernard Sanders pour Votre Honnêteté Intellectuelle, Votre Humanité et Votre Courage de La Vérité . Sanders Président 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 en Novembre 2024
Thanks. How horrible this war has been ans the Palestinians have been enduring this for 75 years. I do not support Hamas or any violence. So many people are speaking so loudly without knowing the facts, history or the laws which govern all nations. I'm very encouraged by Bernie's knowledge, bravery and compassion and the promise of a wiser future.
AMEN Please continue to stand up for the Babies, children and women as well as the innocent men and other civilians in Gaza and around the world. This Sick discussing greed for land and power by Zionist and Militia around the world has got to stop.
I never thought I would have to say this but you are probably the only US citizen that I have respect for other than the one's that have left the us & refuse to return & a few that are demonstrating against the us government & you are a politician as well ( I have almost no respect for any politicians). I am an exiled from my home in England under threat of death for obeying the law.
in its aggression the netanyahoo régime has made Israelis and jews all over the world *more unsafe* than they have been since the end of the thousand (12) year régime in 1945. the *State of Israel* has become the very thing it was supposed to prevent from happening ever again.
Very great !!!! You are on the right side of history Mr Bernie ! CONTINUE SIR ! Everyone will die and the future generation will remind you and CURSE Netenyahoo
Bernie Sanders’ ability to ‘talk’ with obnoxiously racist interviewers is deeply educational. That no matter how clear an event could be described there will be opposing voices who will shout at the top of theirs which would make your blood boil. But then that IS freedom of speech and a democracy and respect for the law. The main battle is to have those voices listen to a sane perspective.
I don't agree with everything you said sir, but I agree with the most important parts. I know why you can't say genocide, but I appreciate you using the term ethnic cleansing
If only more people in the U.S. government shared the same concerns as Bernie Sanders, and willing to take action to help bring peace in the Middle East. 😔
Likud's bloody 100 year history ... In 1923, 100 years ago, Ze'ev Jabotinsky wrote, The Iron Wall, and a follow up, The Ethics of The Iron Wall (sooo racist towards Africans), in which he fully acknowledged that post Balfour Zionsim was colonialism, and that, based on the entirety of history, the native Palestinian population would resist being colonized until the bitter end. He directly compared it to the colonization of North America. He promoted doing it anyway, claiming Zionist colonialism was a "just" colonialism (he also thought North American colonialists were good guys, so not a great judge of morality), not caring what that meant for the native population. Ze'ev is important, because his Betar militant youth group helped found the Irgun terrorist group, along with other supporters of his, and the splinter Lehi terrorist group. The Irgun bombed numerous Palestinian markets and other public places, murdering many Palestinian civilians, including children, even including Palestinian Jews (who didn't support colonialist Zionsim). The Irgun are important, because they ended up being led by future Likud PM, Menachem Begin, who bombed the King David Hotel. The King David Hotel was bombed because the British had raided the Jewish Agency and seized numerous documents that may have shown that the terrorists were working with the JA and Haganah (JA liked to pretend that they didn't support the terrorism). The British then stored those documents at their base, in the hotel. That the Irgun terrorists responded to a JA raid, itself seems to prove the connection. That the thousands of Irgun (and Lehi) terrorists were also quickly merged into the new nation's military (IDF) and intelligence (Mossad) agencies, and are still celebrated as "heroes" by Israelis, to this day, also seems to support total collaboration between the groups. That other terrorist group mentioned, Lehi (also known as the Stern Gang), was considered even more extreme. They even tried to ally with the Nazis, against the British. Lehi ended up being led by Yitzhak Shamir, future Mossad agent, and another future Likud PM. They assassinated Lord Moyne, and others. The two terrorist groups also operated outside of Palestine. The Irgun bombed the British Embassy at Porta Pia, in Rome. The Lehi bombed the British Colonial Club, in London. A timer failed in another bombing attempt, at the Colonial Office, in Whitehall. Two female Lehi operatives were arrested crossing from Belgium to France, with the ingredients for letter bombs. 21 letter bombs were found to be have sent, and were intercepted. They mined the Cairo-Haifa train, in Egypt, twice, killing dozens of civilians, as well as British soldiers. In 1945, there was a major land and peoples survey done in Palestine. It showed that the Zionists only owned about 5% of the total land, 20% of the arable land, and owned a majority in zero districts. The partition was not only going to be forced on the native Palestinian majority, but Jews were still going to be a minority, in the part allocated to them. The only possible way to even become a "Jewish state" was going to require getting rid of the actual majority (at least enough so that there'd be a solid Jewish majority, so they could fake being democratic). This is also shown by the 1948, post Nakba, population of Israel. If there was 716,700 Jews, 156,000+ non-Jews, and approximately 700k non-Jews ethnically cleansed, that means the Jewish population, in the Zionist portion of partition, was originally over 100,000 less than the non-Jewish population. To believe that there was never any intent, by Zionists, to ethnically cleanse away the Palestinian majority would require believing that they never intended to create a "Jewish state". It's a nonsensical notion. Begin, and those terrorist groups, also opposed partition, but for the opposite reason Palestinians did. Palestinians didn't want to be colonized, at all. The terrorists wanted to colonize it all. "Moderate" Zionists were okay with colonizing half ... for now (what would happen in the future, after partition, was up to them, said Ben-Gurion). The Zionist terrorists were also involved in massacres, and assassinations, during the partition violence (colonialist war against the natives). Another notable future Likud PM, also started in the military, during the partition fighting. That was Ariel Sharon, war criminal, "Butcher of Beirut". Menachem Begin, and these other Zionist terrorists, are important because they became involved in Israeli politics, first forming Herut. That was the party that Albert Einstein, and other prominent American Jews, opposed, having a letter printed in the NYT, in December of 1948, when Begin came to visit the US. The letter opened ... "Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine." Herut merged with other extremist parties, over the years, and eventually became Likud, in the 70s. Now, people get upset over the slogan "From the river to the sea!", but it's the second part that's most important, "Palestine will be free!". Because "Palestine" isn't defined as an ethno-state, a free Palestine can be a single state, free for all to live in, and return to, free of continuing colonization, free of occupation, free of oppression, etc. Just like a Germany free of Nazism, an Italy free of fascism, a South Africa free of apartheid, or an America free of slavery from sea to shiny sea. It doesn't necessitate purging all the Jews. It just necessitates them giving up on the idea of an ethno-state. On the other hand, because "Israel" has been defined as an ethno-state, Likud's, "between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty", has no possible good interpretation. It is a declaration of intent to completely colonize, and ethnically cleanse, all Palestine territories. Not only that, but it also claims that they have a "right" to all of the "Land of Israel" (biblical borders that don't mesh with archaeological reality), which is an open declaration of future wars, against Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and possibly even Iraq. Likud platform ... 1977: "The Right of the Jewish People to the Land of Israel (Eretz Israel) a. The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable and is linked with the right to security and peace; therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty. b. A plan which relinquishes parts of western Eretz Israel, undermines our right to the country, unavoidably leads to the establishment of a "Palestinian State," jeopardizes the security of the Jewish population, endangers the existence of the State of Israel. and frustrates any prospect of peace." 1999: "The Government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river. The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state. Thus, for example, in matters of foreign affairs, security, immigration, and ecology, their activity shall be limited in accordance with imperatives of Israel's existence, security and national needs." "The Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza are the realization of Zionist values. Settlement of the land is a clear expression of the unassailable right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel and constitutes an important asset in the defense of the vital interests of the State of Israel. The Likud will continue to strengthen and develop these communities and will prevent their uprooting." All Palestine territories are officially considered occupied, by the International Court of Justice, the UN GA, the UN SC, and even in official documents of Israel's own allies. Likud is still using the blueprint for colonizing North America, in the West Bank. Move settlements out into native territory, piss off the natives, the natives retaliate, cry about poor "innocent" colonizing settlers being the "victims" of violent "Savages!", call in the cavalry to put down the native uprising, and eventually expand the borders to include those settlements. Rinse and repeat. In Gaza, Israel is operating an open air WWII style fascist ghetto. Them claiming a "right to defend themselves" would be like the Nazis claiming a "right to defend themselves " from the Warsaw ghetto uprising. There's no "war". That they're the occupiers means the "war" part is long over. Those people are actually supposed to be under the occupier's protection. That partition was forced upon the Palestinian majority, against their will ... that the Zionist portion still had to be forcefully ethnically cleansed of its non-Jewish majority, against their will ... that the millions of occupied Palestinians don't have a say in the government that truly rules over them, Israel's ... means Israel is about as democratic as Nazi Germany after Hitler purged his political opponents and then held elections.
Thank you Bernie for offering a clear view of the conflict. So many people stand with either one of the two sides when we should aim to solve the conflict for BOTH of the people who are suffering. Ideological brainrot has made people wish for the death to who's considered the enemy, effectively dehumanizing the opponent. Israel should have the right to defend iself. Palestine should have the right to have its own place. The hatred being fueled in this conflinct only helps to create even more death, until one of the two will stand on a mountain of corpses. This is not acceptable.
I'd love to get to talk to Bernie at length and pick his brain. There are plenty of statements to be made to argue and support what he says, but I 100% agree with him that military aid shouldn't be given to a government that would use it to commit wanton destruction and not try to avoid civilian deaths, while weeding out hamas.
When one considers someone (or lots of someones) a full-fledged enemy based solely on circumstances of birth, then i am fiercely and very vocally opposed to them. No matter from which group their sworn "enemy" hails
Much of this was predicted by the late professor Zeev Sternhell, a Holocaust survivor and Israel’s foremost authority on fascism, who explained in his 2018 essay titled “In Israel, Growing Fascism and a Racism Akin to Early Nazism” that these fascists “don’t wish to physically harm Palestinians. They only wish to deprive them of their basic human rights, such as self-rule in their own state and freedom from oppression.” Though the appointment of the sadistic Ben Gvir as minister of National Security is about wishing the Palestinians physical harm.
Bernie your an amazing man .. I tried everything I could to make you my president I gave more to your campaigns than any other person in my 57 years. God bless you and yours .

AOC has compromised too much.

"Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine."
Herut merged with other extremist parties, over the years, and eventually became Likud, in the 70s. Now, people get upset over the slogan "From the river to the sea!", but it's the second part that's most important, "Palestine will be free!". Because "Palestine" isn't defined as an ethno-state, a free Palestine can be a single state, free for all to live in, and return to, free of continuing colonization, free of occupation, free of oppression, etc. Just like a Germany free of Nazism, an Italy free of fascism, a South Africa free of apartheid, or an America free of slavery from sea to shiny sea. It doesn't necessitate purging all the Jews. It just necessitates them giving up on the idea of an ethno-state.
On the other hand, because "Israel" has been defined as an ethno-state, Likud's, "between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty", has no possible good interpretation. It is a declaration of intent to completely colonize, and ethnically cleanse, all Palestine territories. Not only that, but it also claims that they have a "right" to all of the "Land of Israel" (biblical borders that don't mesh with archaeological reality), which is an open declaration of future wars, against Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and possibly even Iraq.
Likud platform ...
1977: "The Right of the Jewish People to the Land of Israel (Eretz Israel)
a. The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable and is linked with the right to security and peace; therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.
b. A plan which relinquishes parts of western Eretz Israel, undermines our right to the country, unavoidably leads to the establishment of a "Palestinian State," jeopardizes the security of the Jewish population, endangers the existence of the State of Israel. and frustrates any prospect of peace."
1999: "The Government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river. The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state. Thus, for example, in matters of foreign affairs, security, immigration, and ecology, their activity shall be limited in accordance with imperatives of Israel's existence, security and national needs."
"The Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza are the realization of Zionist values. Settlement of the land is a clear expression of the unassailable right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel and constitutes an important asset in the defense of the vital interests of the State of Israel. The Likud will continue to strengthen and develop these communities and will prevent their uprooting."
All Palestine territories are officially considered occupied, by the International Court of Justice, the UN GA, the UN SC, and even in official documents of Israel's own allies. Likud is still using the blueprint for colonizing North America, in the West Bank. Move settlements out into native territory, piss off the natives, the natives retaliate, cry about poor "innocent" colonizing settlers being the "victims" of violent "Savages!", call in the cavalry to put down the native uprising, and eventually expand the borders to include those settlements. Rinse and repeat. In Gaza, Israel is operating an open air WWII style fascist ghetto. Them claiming a "right to defend themselves" would be like the Nazis claiming a "right to defend themselves " from the Warsaw ghetto uprising. There's no "war". That they're the occupiers means the "war" part is long over. Those people are actually supposed to be under the occupier's protection.
That partition was forced upon the Palestinian majority, against their will ... that the Zionist portion still had to be forcefully ethnically cleansed of its non-Jewish majority, against their will ... that the millions of occupied Palestinians don't have a say in the government that truly rules over them, Israel's ... means Israel is about as democratic as Nazi Germany after Hitler purged his political opponents and then held elections.
Too long

Give us back Senator Sanders’ two terms as President
Thank you Bernie for offering a clear view of the conflict. So many people stand with either one of the two sides when we should aim to solve the conflict for BOTH of the people who are suffering. Ideological brainrot has made people wish for the death to who's considered the enemy, effectively dehumanizing the opponent.
Israel should have the right to defend iself.
Palestine should have the right to have its own place.
The hatred being fueled in this conflinct only helps to create even more death, until one of the two will stand on a mountain of corpses.
This is not acceptable.
The government in Saudi Arabia said that it will take 14 years to remove the debris from the bombing destruction in GAZA and 30 years to rebuild GAZA!
Send the bill to the US and Israel. They caused the destruction.
Please give generously to the Bernie Sanders retirement home in Gaza
Ok thanks Bernie
❤
I'd love to get to talk to Bernie at length and pick his brain. There are plenty of statements to be made to argue and support what he says, but I 100% agree with him that military aid shouldn't be given to a government that would use it to commit wanton destruction and not try to avoid civilian deaths, while weeding out hamas.
He is telling the truth.
The journalist is a human with an animal heart.
The journalist has less brain cells than the average amoeba...
Support humanity
Ethnic cleansing is exactly what it is, same as the Warsaw ghetto
When one considers someone (or lots of someones) a full-fledged enemy based solely on circumstances of birth, then i am fiercely and very vocally opposed to them. No matter from which group their sworn "enemy" hails
How do they even know if Hamas is still in the area?
They consider everyone to be Hamas.
❤Bernie
Facts!
I'm trying to find the full interview.
Any help?
Much of this was predicted by the late professor Zeev Sternhell, a Holocaust survivor and Israel’s foremost authority on fascism, who explained in his 2018 essay titled “In Israel, Growing Fascism and a Racism Akin to Early Nazism” that these fascists “don’t wish to physically harm Palestinians. They only wish to deprive them of their basic human rights, such as self-rule in their own state and freedom from oppression.” Though the appointment of the sadistic Ben Gvir as minister of National Security is about wishing the Palestinians physical harm.
