    Bernie is the model of what a politician should be. And about the only one left in the USA that gives a fuck about actual justice and truth.

    Israel is pretty much Bernie’s worst position, and he still one of the best senators on the issue. His worst take is still the best take around.

      I mean, he did one better. He defined genocide in describing the explicit war crimes of Israel. I think it’s a little unreasonable to be angry that he didn’t use the term when he outright stated that Israel killed and injured 100,000, 70% of which are women and children, rendered a million people homeless and created famine conditions.

      I’d be more upset if he just said “genocide” and didn’t clarify the rest like he did.
