On Israel/Palestine: 'Fast forward to August 2014 and the Vermont senator struck a very different tone, angrily shouting at his constituents as they challenged his defense of Israel’s killing rampage in the Gaza Strip that summer. “You have a situation where Hamas is sending missiles into Israel … from populated areas,” Sanders said, deploying standard Israeli government talking points. When a member of the audience called out a question on whether Palestinians “have a right to resist,” Sanders shouted back, “Shut up! You don’t have the microphone!” and threatened to call in the police. “Are you going to arrest people?” the constituent shouted back. Sanders quickly diverted the conversation to the brutality of ISIS or Islamic State. A year later, Palestine solidarity activists were thrown out of a Sanders campaign rally in Boston and threatened with arrest for bringing a sign that read, “Will ya #FeelTheBern 4 Palestine?”' - https://electronicintifada.net/content/bernie-sanders-and-question-palestine/15581 jeers, I Message Thread: Thanks Bernie. - johnlilburne February 24, 2019, 1:29 pm Yeh, thanks Bernie, America's best hope. - johnlilburne February 24, 2019, 1:39 pm gobshite - Ian M February 24, 2019, 6:10 pm Thanks John - John Monro February 24, 2019, 7:29 pm   Searching
