Don’t get me wrong, I like Bernie a lot, and I’m glad he spoke out. But …

Bernie is pretending like the Zionist entity is separable from its government.

… that’s exactly what he’s doing.

As a Jew, I’ve got a different take (which is also posted in that thread:

He doesn’t want to say Israel, because people conflate Israel with Judaism. He’s also making the focus a singular discreet and addressable issue, without bringing up the fact that the formation of the state of Israel has been a problem since the Nakba.

With sitting members of Congress I always try to acknowledge many of their communications are to, and meant for, other members of Congress, some/many of whom are the most unhinged people imaginable.

The fact that he is Jewish means he should say Israel because it draws a clearer distinction between Judaism and Zionism. Jewish people being openly anti-zionist makes it clear that conflating it with antisemitism is disingenuous.

Might be good to tackle that head on, rather than to pretend being Netanyahu doesn’t mean being Israeli.

Half the county outright acknowledged the President as a pedophile.

Kompromat doesn’t work on a man without shame. He’s doing this shit because he wants to do it

It’s not being determined by the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government. It’s being determined by the right-wing extremist American [Republican] government. It’s merely being influenced by the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government.

“In my view Israel has the absolute right to defend itself”

I got this email shortly after Oct 7. He has gotten better on it but still.

Stop saying Netanyahu like the problem isn’t the existence of the Zionist ethnostate occupying and genocide Palestine. The problem is bigger than and would persist beyond Netanyahu.
