    You can also be Jewish without being Zionist.

    And I haven’t even addressed the “liberal” claim, which is absolutely laughable. Sanders has been a socialist since the 70’s. I understand that he looks further left from a US perspective than a global one, but the only people who would call him a “liberal” are the far-right US idiots who don’t know what that word means.

      I very specifically mean he is a “liberal zionist” as a complete thought. Obviously being Jewish and a Zionist are different concepts, but there’s obviously overlap. He does want to continue the ethnostate as a way to protect jews after the holocaust, just less violently with more civil rights.

      In general I agree he is a socialist with some liberal tendencies likely as an outcome of being a US politician.
