It only got worse from there. As the Gaza genocide was ongoing last year, Sanders was still insisting on sticking by Genocide Joe no matter what. He was claiming to be against arms deliveries to Israel (until they re-establish humanitarian aid, after which presumably Sanders thinks it’s ok for them to continue mass murdering Palestinians) yet he still supported giving them so-called “defensive weapons”.
There is no such thing as “defensive weapons” in the hands of a genocidal occupation!
He explicitly said “there is no red line” when it comes to defending Israel, which means Israel could do whatever it wants and Sanders would still support them.
And as for his latest spectacle pretending like he’s trying to stop weapons deliveries to Israel, it’s quite convenient to do it now when he knows it has no chance of passing and no political impact whatsoever on a Democrat’s impending election. In fact it quite conveniently fits with the Democrats’ political grandstanding against Trump.
And have we ever heard him say anything about shutting off the US money or intelligence tap to Israel? He talks about weapons, but what about the billions of dollars the Israelis regularly get? What about all the spy drones the US flies over Gaza 24/7 to help the Zionists precision murder doctors, aid workers, journalists and so on?
He has never once called either the Palestinian or the Lebanese resistance anything other than terrorists.
He is the definition of a liberal Zionist. He is the left wing of genocide and imperialism, pure and simple. And this goes double for “AOC”, who changed her progressive tune in record speed once she got a taste of establishment power.
Even back in 2019 Sanders had at best a mixed record on the issue of Palestine. He has never even supported BDS.
