Israel’s UN Amb. tells AIPAC: ‘Sen. Sanders is a liar or fool, or both’

Israel’s envoy to the UN, invited to address the AIPAC conference, lambasted the Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders for attacking AIPAC, the largest bipartisan pro-Israel lobbying group, and who also went on to call PM Netanyahu a “reactionary racist.”

Democratic frontrunner Senator Bernie Sanders defended himself from accusations he is anti-Israel in an interview with Margaret Brennan on CBS News Sunday.

Sanders, who refused to address this week’s AIPAC policy conference, was asked if he thought he would suffer politically for shunning the pro-Israel lobby.

“Yeah, I do. I mean, they have a lot of money. Continue Reading »

Nikki Haley: Sen. Sanders wants to redirect Israel’s aid to terrorists

ANOTHER Democrat calls Israel’s government ‘racist’

Jewish born Democratic senator Bernie Sanders, who was guilty of using Hamas propaganda figures in the past, professes to be ‘100% pro-Israel,’ but purports how PM Netanyahu’s government is “racist” and laments how US policy in the Middle East should be ‘on a level-playing-field’ …even though Israel is the only true democracy in the region.

By Associated Press, Ynet

 

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is standing by his criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the US goal in the Middle East must be to try to bring people together and “not just support one country, which is now run by a right-wing, dare I say, racist government.” Continue Reading »

Bernie Sanders, the perfect Jew for the new Democrat Party: A sad paradox

It’s sad to see a Jew that is so disconnected from his roots that he consistently hesitates defending Israel when it’s attacked by Islamic terror groups and even unpardonable when Sen. Sanders jumps to support a habitual hater of Jews.

OpEds – Bernie Sanders and the Jews: A sad paradox
By David Rubin

 

Senator Bernie Sanders is running again. Most observers consider him to immediately be one of the early front runners, but in a political party seemingly obsessed with identity politics, and ostensibly respectful of ethnic/religious roots, it’s certainly reasonable to explore the roots and connections of this Jewish-American who is now a leading candidate for President of the United States.

Bernie Sanders claims IDF was too indiscriminate, killing ‘10,000 innocents’ in Gaza

 

Apart from the IDF having the lowest combatant-to-civilian casualty ratio of any conflict ever recorded, democratic presidential candidate Sanders is of the opinion “Israel’s force was more indiscriminate than it should have been,” having killed “over 10,000 innocent people,” when in fact it was around a fifth of what Sanders suggested.

By Ari Soffer

 

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has accused Israel of killing over 10,000 innocent civilians during 2014’s war with Gazan terrorists – in a gross inflation of the casualty statistics enough to make even Hamas’s own propaganda chiefs blush.

Sanders, who trails Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton by a significant margin, made the comments in a meeting with the New York Daily News editorial board, a transcript of which was published Tuesday. Continue Reading »
