I guess they felt the bern.
Why are people heckling Bernie Sanders?
Bernie at the start of the month:
>What is going on in Gaza is a war crime, committed openly and in broad daylight, and continuing every single day….
>There is no ambiguity here: Netanyahu’s extremist government talks openly about using humanitarian aid as a weapon.
>What is happening in Gaza will be a permanent stain on the world’s collective conscience. History will never forget that we allowed this to happen and, for us here in the United States, that we, in fact, enabled this atrocity.
He’s not pro-Israeli.
So he’s a genocide denier 🤔
“What we should be focusing on is ending the destruction and changing policy,” he said. “Let’s be clear, 52,000 people have been killed, mostly women and children. Over 100,000 have been wounded with the entire infrastructure destroyed. That is horrible. That is barbaric. That is the concern we have but some people want to argue about a word which the United Nations is now working to define.”
Summary: Basically UN are working on defining what this war is but what ever it is it should be stopped as it is definitely horrible and barbaric.
Damn bernie open your eyes
In fairness, he is not rejecting what is happening there, he hasn’t put his head in the sand(ers, lol) and is seemingly trying to encourage people to play chess rather than checkers with regards getting to the end goal.

>Ms O’Meara Sanders said calling the current events genocide would alienate significant allies in the US, of which, she suggested, there were already too few, and provide opponents with an opportunity to shift the focus of the debate.
>“The fact we’re spending billions of dollars on weapons for Israel would be just falling on deaf ears,” she said. “[Mr Sanders] wouldn’t have gotten 15 votes [for a recent Bill he introduced in the Senate to curtail military support to Israel] if he could be marginalised by a word.”
Ah lads, know when to hold ‘em. This just looks silly.
You won’t find an American leader of this stature who has consistently, for decades, called out Israel on their bullshit so vociferously and from a place of genuine hope and love for the ordinary Palestinian citizen.
I’m sure the great man he is, he brushed them off quickly enough but this is one man who’s very much on the side of peace not just in the region but across the world.
I am very much a Leftie, and this type of crap really annoys me.
There are far more appropriate people to be picketing than Bernie Sanders ffs…
I saw a really good video on this just the other day. He is a Zionist and basically when Israel is seen as good, then it’s all of israel, when it’s seen as bad, it’s just Netanyahu and current policy.
He’s as much a scumbag as any politician and he’s trying his best to play both sides and tiptoe around calling a genocide what it is, and sticking all the blame on one political party.
We all know that Israel has been committing atrocities for decades, and I say fair play to the people that were trying to get him to actually speak his real feelings.
He is a Zionist. He thinks the apartheid of Palestinian people is fine, and has been fine standing by and being complicit while Israel “defends itself”
The optics on the situation now are that liberals hate Israel, so he’s being a slimy politician and making it seem like he’s on their side.
It’s kind of amazing how some extremely politically engaged folks can’t take yes for an answer and continuously try and shrink the tent. Like Bernie Sanders has more actual influence on reducing real-world harm on this issue than any person on this island, he is head and shoulders above his peers on pushing for actual help, and yet these people are trying to pin him down on phrasing.
Bernie is a zionist
The left eating itself again, that’s how they gave the US to Trump because Kamala didn’t go all in for Gaza.
