Senator Bernie Sanders’ hypocrisy is exposed by his hatred of Israel

72

In the United States, there are many on the left who have been longtime critics of the state of Israel. In the mainstream media, you have Peter Beinart and Thomas Friedman. In academia, there is Norman Finkelstein and Hatem Bazian. In U.S politics, there is Senator Dick Durban, Rep. Keith Ellison, and Green Party leader Jill Stein. However, few have been more outspoken in their criticism of Israel than the Senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders. Senator Sanders once again took an opportunity to speak out against Israel when he predictably took to Twitter and criticized the decision by President Trump to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Sanders, who is a disciple of Israel hater Noam Chomsky, has used many of his radical supporter’s talking points supporting his hatred of Israel to advance his own political agenda. In doing so, Sanders has shown incredible levels of hypocrisy on many fronts.

Since Sanders’ ascension to national prominence, the longtime social activist has continued to appease many in his following by slamming and disrespecting the only democracy in the Middle East. The examples are numerous. In 2015, Sanders was one of eight senators to boycott PM Netanyahu’s speech to the United States Congress regarding the Iran Nuclear Deal. Subsequently, Sanders would go on to enthusiastically support the Iran nuclear deal, the JPOA, a deal that PM Netanyahu has called an existential threat to his country.

In 2016, during his debate with Hillary Clinton, Sanders slandered Israel by calling Israel’s response to thousands of rockets from Hamas on their civilian population “disproportionate.” This is despite Israel taking unprecedented steps to reduce the level of civilian casualties in Gaza. Sanders, who markets himself as an advocate of human rights, does not speak out against the human rights violations that are being committed in Gaza and Judea and Samaria by both the PA and Hamas. Sanders, who claims to be vehemently opposed to bigotry, has conspicuously failed to condemn the horrific and bigoted incitement against Jews in the “Palestinian” government, schools, mosques, and many other segments of “Palestinian” society. As for Israeli Arabs, whatever challenges they may face, they receive full human rights. They are doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, members of the Knesset, and on the Supreme Court. Arab women in Israel, in particular, have more human rights than women do in any of Israel’s neighboring Muslim countries. A fact that women’s rights activist Sanders seems to have forgotten.

Story continues below advertisement

As the presidential campaign of Senator Sanders progressed, his hypocrisy became even more apparent when he hired Simone Zimmerman, an advocate of the bigoted BDS movement, as his national Jewish outreach coordinator. Sanders would later accept the endorsement of the vicious anti-Semite and BDS supporter, Linda Sarsour, who supports the implementation of Sharia law. Sanders also appointed BDS supporters Rep. Keith Ellison, James Zogby of the Arab American Institute, and social justice activist Cornell West to the Democratic Party’s policy committee; their hatred of Israel he conveniently ignored. Sanders has called upon the United States to reduce military aid to Israel. However, Sanders ignores the fact that billions of dollars in U.S aid to the PA has been used to finance their terrorist activities, bigotry, and human rights violations. In 2017, Sanders flew to the UK to campaign for the bigot Jeremy Corbyn, who once referred to Hamas and Hezbollah as “friends.”

This only scratches the surface of the hypocrisy that Senator Sanders has displayed in supporting Israeli boycotters and singling out Israel for condemnation. Senator Sanders, who claims to be an environmentalist, made “saving the planet” a central part of his campaign. However, Sanders’ support for environmentalism has not softened his stance on Israel, perhaps the most environmentally responsible country in the world. Israel, which is committed to Tikkun Olam (repair the world), was the only country to begin the 21st century with a net gain in its number of trees. More than 85 percent of solid waste in Israel is treated in an environmentally sound way. Israel recycles 90 percent of its waste water, more than 4 times the rate of the second place country of Spain. Israel has also been a world leader in developing clean energy such as solar and wind.

What about Senator Sanders’ affinity for the less fortunate? Well, Israel has been on the front line of humanitarian relief in the developing world. Israel provides humanitarian assistance to more than 140 countries, including countries that it does not have diplomatic relations with. The most recent example is Syria. Despite Israel being technically at war with Syria, Israel has built a field hospital along the Syrian border, providing medical assistance to thousands of Syrians, who are desperate for medical attention.

Even in an area such as legalizing marijuana, one would think that Sanders could find a commonality with Israel. Sanders, who has been a proponent of legalizing marijuana for medical purposes, should be rushing to Israel, since Israel is a global leader in cannabis research, and will likely legalize marijuana for medical purposes in the future.

So why would Senator Sanders have such disdain for a country that any “progressive” should have so much in common with? What is at the core of Senator Sander’s hypocrisy? Maybe it’s because Israel rejected socialism and chose to become an entrepreneurial marvel, or maybe it’s just old fashioned anti-Semitism, or maybe Bernie Sanders (like many progressives) is just FULL OF IT!

Unrelated or not, this post is relevant to this site. Mad Bernie, a Jew-hating Jew would agree with this perverse and pedophile advertisement. Leftist of any persuasion ally themselves with Islam’s abhorrent tenets; deeming them as cultural preferences. The Democrats et al, are firstly anti-American, anti-Semitic; secondly, they would convert to Islam without the blinking of an eye. After all, our Constitutional Republic is the Great Satan, not Islam.

When this subversive party, the Democrats, regains power; the Constitution will be amended to adopt Sharia Law. This amendment will be a fundamental undoing of the Constitution. Democrats and its comrades of the leftist scourge loathe the Constitution; those of this traitorous faction of subversives is hell-bent on the downfall of the Constitutional Republic.

Bernie Sanders is a devoted Marxist and anti-Semite; numerous Democrats and others of his like are devotees to Mad Bernie. Aspirant and indubitable seditionists will work in tandem with Islam; their anarchic endeavor, the ruination of the Constitution.

Most Democrats and many Republicans will not speak out against muslims and their evil practices under Sharia law. They also shun Israel and call it an apartheid state. That is how the left destroyed South Africa and they want Israel to go. They want Israel to give up their land and give arabs the vote which would make Israel into another palestinan terror camp and the Jews would face another genociode.

Seems as if arabs already have the right to vote. Currently, there are eighteen arab members of the Knesset. Although four of them are Druze (don’t ever call a Druze an Arab), that still leaves fourteen. Of the fourteen, one is a Christian. The others are moslems.

“So why would Senator Sanders have such disdain for a country that any

The article suggests that Sanders “forgets” or “ignores” that Israel strives to be, and generally succeeds in being an enlightened and creative country.

In fact, Sanders is not at all unaware of this – it’s just that for the committed anti-Semite, none of this is relevant.

Nor does one have to be a Gentile, or a German Nazi to be fervently anti-Semitic. Sanders, and many more like him, attest to the fact that one can be Jewish as well.

There is a well known 1944 incident, in which Eichmann interceded with an SS major at a railhead. The major was frustrated that a number of Jewish children had documents that protected them from deportation to Auschwitz.

Don’t worry, Obersturmbannführer Eichmann said to the major, “we’ll get them all in the end.”

Now, it certainly is the case that Sanders hates Israel; indeed, in addition to embracing Eichmann’s spiritual heirs at every turn, Sanders was one of the few members of congress to oppose funding for the Iron Dome missile shield at a time when hundreds of rockets were being fired at Jewish civilians.

More to the point, Sanders refers to himself not as a Jew, but as a person of “Polish heritage.”

Given the fact that the Poles regarded the Jews as a corrupt and foreign element, and continued to kill them in pogroms even after the Holocaust, the Senator’s claim of Polish heritage is obscene.

A word of caution to Mr. Sanders, from Galatians 6:7.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
