    A refreshing take for sure, and even though Bernie is Jewish he sees this cruel regime for what it really is. There are no excuses for harming innocent civilians, ever!

      A lot of jewish actually call this out as a genocide, its just the world leader playing their politics while the people are getting murdered on the ground.

        Yes I’m aware. I also know many Israeli citizens condemn the actions of their government. I just think that as an American Jewish politician, Bernie has an incentive not to criticize the Israeli government but he still does, and that takes some courage.

        Problem is, at least where I live, the majority of the Jewish community fervently supports Israel.

          There’s nuance required there… because there’s a wide gulf between fervently supporting the right of Israel to exist and supporting the actions of their government.
