    “Now that their popularity is at a record low, I’ll be sure to say something that the public will agree with on the matter while still keeping it vague enough to walk it back if I have to.”

      yeah, the big thing also is when people were getting arrested at his own rally for Palestine protesting he kept quiet for like three minutes while the crowd was staring at them.

      guy is full of shit and an opportunist, always has been.

      Dialectics is vacillation between this take and the conviction that Bernie’s new morality is proof of historical materialism

        He could’ve genuinely changed his mind, but I’ll only believe that if he actually starts using his power as a senator to actually do something about it, instead of just complaining on twitter.

        Like a regular, everyday person who recognises Israel’s evil now but didn’t before? That’s fine, people can change their mind as they learn new things, but someone deep within the US Israel funding apparatus? He’s going to need to do more than give me empty words to show he actually opposes Israel.

      He’s just moving on from Netanyahu to saying the far-right coalition that governs with him, not even criticizing other officials.

      He’s prolly not gonna say a thing about Strasserites we call labor-Zionists or even the Pissraeli Democrats (yes, they exist), since they’re close to him for all I know, so even then, I don’t think he condemns the Israeli gov’t in full.

      Not to say that the general populace in the Zionist Entity is any good.

    Looks like a Bernie L to me. Liberal Zionist framing through and through.

    • Blame the government instead of the whole project? Check.
    • Complain about the money that Israel is getting instead of the weapons? Check.
    • Wanting Israel to be “normal”? Check.
