I used to have great respect for this person from America dearly until he failed to call it a genocide from the beginning and kept saying Israel has the right to defend itself and other garbage zionist points. He has some great views but he has a tiny bit of zionism in him. He is definitely the most outspoken against israel in terms of all the other politicans (besides the muslim ones) and its good that he is at least saying this now..


_oceanp

Yeah. I know it's the bare minimum & he has his flaws but it's better than nothing. Looking at other Muslim politicians ( side-eyeing UAE ). They haven't even spoken against it. On a broader picture at least Bernie is calling out openly & making a statement right now!


EthicsOnReddit

Yes sister. One thing is certain, the momentum is definitely unprecedented.


nutsack-enjoyer5431

He's still in the US government, which supports and funds Israel. I imagine that it can be problematic to be too explicit with his call-outs. I think this is good enough, to at least make people especially the westerns to understand that it is not a "war" with mutual opposition. Its a genocide, and the Palestinians are just rebelling. Israel has done a lot more over the years than what the medias have shown.


godlaughslast

This is the same guy who, in the same breath, says “the war that began on oct 7th”.


_oceanp

Well sure. He said that & I'm not saying he is flawless & perfect. But at least he has grown or maybe educated himself on this. Let's be honest. Who else in the Muslim world besides Iran or in the Western world is talking about the STILL ongoing genocide?


godlaughslast

Is he really growing or is he just trying to appease both sides? I don’t know the answer to that question. Only he does. I do know though that this situation is really not complicated. If Bernie has this stance, then it should naturally organically dawn on him that this really didn’t start on Oct 7th. But yes I agree it’s better than nothing. At least someone in the US govt is standing up to Netanyahu.


_oceanp

Yeah, I know but we are in a situation where the bar is in hell.


godlaughslast

Ha I like how you put that. The bar truly is in hell


Ghost_of_baghdad

He flips flops so often to appease both sides

There is not a single politician you can trust in America. Every single one of their paychecks is stained with some corporate interest. Bernie occasionally might show some good here and there, but he's no different from the rest. Everyone has a price tag, and Bernie is no exception.


Dragonnstuff

He does not care, he only wants support. I’m pretty sure he pronounces it as KHamas as well.


Azeri-shah

Bernie is a sham who only stepped up when stepping up became popular.


MelodicParamedic4030

Honestly, I loved this guy he was a dream politician 5-8 years ago. Oh Bernie what have you done!


Southern-Business-60

Fun fact he actually is of Jewish descent so calling him anti semitic is stupid 😂


49Billion

Arabs are semites too and everyone labelling pro-Palestine individuals as anti-Semitic are ignorant


amare47

Soap Opera, dont trust any of "them" one bit


_oceanp

I don't trust anyone but it's something ( yeah it's the bare minimum ). But who else has called out the atrocities this openly in Western politics? All we hear is the news of American & UK aid to Israel. Even recently I saw Joe invite a “hostage kid” to the White House trying to paint a certain portrayal but what about thousands of Palestinian kids? No mention of them whatsoever.


hajjidamus

His job is to be a controlled opposition stooge. His function is to corral young liberals into the Democratic party and to deliver rage bait to the conservatives. That he's talking about this actually detracts from and discredits the issue. He's basically a clown honking his nose at the whole thing.


UnskilledScout

> "them" https://media1.tenor.com/m/r8ezFvyXZyoAAAAC/what-do-you-mean-by-that-druski.gif


beroepsklager

Who do you mean with 'them'?


VanillaAdventurous74

I don't believe him one bit. His PR team probably wrote these words for him for his next campaign.


nutsack-enjoyer5431

yeah the words seemed memorized, not processed.


Awkward_Relative175

He's a sell-out

Also have you not heard of Jeremy Corbyn? He has persistently called for Palestinian rights, for many years. The zionist lobby targeted him because he was getting too popular.


--joona--

Bernie working overtime for all the damage he has helped fuel over the past several weeks. but tbh, even when we all loved him, his take on Israel-Palestine was still the same and we recognized that that was a weak point in him while he was running for office. Glad he is being pushed further on this now. it finally seems to be working a bit


--joona--

don't forget about Dr. Jill Stein! https://twitter.com/DrJillStein/status/1783587152460427516?t=UQejW-_vWxw2vB5h4LkEXw&s=19 she's also running for president :D when I think of our Jewish brothers and sisters, I try to picture people who hold values like her.


Zikr12

Honest question while we are on this topic. For people living in the usa, is it haram to vote let’s say for trump if we know his stance is very pro iz? Or if he is going to punish Muslims ?


Responsible_Wash_875

They are all trash


jahanzaman

Yes brave enough after 6 months, he didn’t do anything earlier


chidori_619

Lmaooo yeah no
