Senator Bernie Sanders is openly opposing the Biden administration’s proposal for additional military aid to Israel, accusing the IDF’s military actions in Gaza of being “immoral.” This includes widespread displacement, rising death tolls, and what Sanders described as “indiscriminate” bombing.
Sanders, who is Jewish, wrote in a letter to Biden, “This constitutes not just a humanitarian cataclysm, but a mass atrocity. And it is being done with bombs and equipment produced and provided by the United States and heavily subsidized by American taxpayers. Tragically, we are complicit in this carnage.”
The context of Sanders’ remarks is President Biden’s proposal to allocate over $10 billion in additional military aid to Israel. Sanders urged Biden to retract this request, arguing that such funding would only perpetuate the Netanyahu government’s military actions, which he characterized as “widespread, indiscriminate bombardment.”
Additionally, Sanders called for the Biden administration to support United Nations efforts to establish “an immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in the region.

Didn’t this same piece of drek say yesterday that he can’t imagine how you can have a ceasefire with these people? He is stark racing mad and doesn’t even know what he is saying from day to day.

I know is been a long day but Bernie you just said the opposite?
Is this the same guy who just said a ceas-fire would just benefit Hamas?
Who made an offer to him since then?
quick switch around from yesterday.
What happened? Some kind Palestinians threatened him?
Let this nutcase move himself into Gaza so he can view the carnage from up close. You can’t have a ceasefire with animals and there are few, if any, innocent civilians in Gaza.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
No, he said you can’t have a permanent ceasefire with them, because they will be sure to break it. But you must still not fight them. You must simply lie back and let them slaughter you.
Biden HIMSELF said that Israel’s bombing was “indiscriminate” just a day or two ago!!
What I don’t understand is how Israeli officials were not running to deny that! Either the media simply isn’t publishing it… or they are morons!
