Didn’t Bernie literally lead an effort in the Senate to pass an arms embargo against Israel? I legitimately don’t understand how people say he’s pro Israel compared to other Democrats who won’t even support that.
Well, if one were to try to understand why someone with commitment to their dignity, with morals, with humanity for the victims of this particular genocide might not gleefully lick Bernie’s sandals – and wanted to do that sincerely, you might drop in around the 48 minute point here:

Maybe he’s better than other democrats but noone’s obligated to go along with such tacit acceptance of such a gruesome, soul-cleaving state of the overton window.
As it’s said; the bar’s in hell.
I am sure your concern is indeed legitimate and that you will fully digest and absorb the perspectives offered in considering your thoughtful response.
I didn’t know about those earlier comments so fair enough that people don’t like him for that. At least more recently though he seems to be pushing hard for an arms embargo which would be a genuinely good thing to apply pressure on Israel. Not sure if that’s some kind of change in opinion or if he just is against the way they’re going so aggressive with it now and is more in favor of the liberal Zionists. But I think either way your original comment about him being in favor of sending weapons to Israel is wrong as he quite literally voted to stop doing that and led that effort in the Senate.

Either way I’ve entirely lost faith in his ability to do fuck all. 🤷♀️
He sold out in 2016 after DNC and hilldawg fucked him over
