“To those people who are saying, ‘Well, I can’t support Harris because she disagrees [with] Trump on that issue’ … he will be closer to Netanyahu,” Sanders said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Sanders said he thinks Vice President Harris can be moved “on that issue” of the Israel-Hamas war.
Harris has called for a cease-fire deal and pushed for the war in Gaza to end, but she faces scrutiny from both sides — from people who want to see Hamas defeated and those who call for the end of the war in Gaza.
“So, if we are able to elect Harris, I think we’re going to have an opportunity to move her on that issue, to make it clear, we cannot allow children in Gaza to starve to death,” Sanders said. “She will be open to that. I doubt that Trump will.”
In before we get lectured about how this old white Jew is really BlueMAGA…
Or how Harris and Trump are BoTh ThE sAmE!!1! because Harris hasn’t screamed from the rooftops that what’s happening in Gaza is horrible.

On the other hand, why hasn’t she?
AIPAC has shown that they will absolutely throw an election against anyone who condemns the genocide. If she does the right thing, AIPAC will put their full weight behind Donald “Biden is holding Netanyahu back” Trump
Wanna tell that to these Palestinians? It is patronizing colonialism to suggest you know better than they do.
I’m sure they will be ecstatic to know that they may soon be getting bombed by a brown woman. That will make their lives so much easier as they’re still trying to dig their children out of the rubble.
you have to hand it to the “vote 3rd party” tryhards: they never shut the fuck up with their stupid bullshit
Let’s ignore that fascism coming from within so we can focus on the other fascism.
I always feel better when Bernie comes out and drops these truth bombs. He is an absolute national treasure, very presidential
He is right. Trump will do whatever the evangelical hard right want, which in the case of the Middle East is to pump as much support, weapons, and money into Israel, purely so they can trigger Armageddon and try to fulfill their wet dreams of Supply-Side Jesus coming down off his cloud. Also doesn’t help that trump is a flagrant racist who would be happy to see more ‘brown-skinned’ people die.
I mean Trump just literally said the Netanyahu needs to do whatever he needs to do.
