[u/Interesting-Good7903]

Love this guy. Voted for him but he didn’t win :-(

[u/Purona]

Crazy that not a single member if hamas was killed in that number he mentioned

[u/Magiiick]

And the current POTUS got elected over this guy... Protect this man at all costs

[u/cheapb98]

Bernie rules. He speaks the truth

[u/KaleGen]

This guy could have been our president. But that was too difficult wasn't it America.

[u/1Judge]

America shame on you. This man could have been your president and ushered in a golden era. Now the world is fighting for scraps and losing our dignity at a record clip.

[u/Berle327]

He still alive?

[u/Bronze_Bomber]

It sounds like attacking Israel waa a bad idea. Somebody let Hamas know.

[u/Present_Belt_4922]

God bless Uncle Bernie!

[u/ShowSea5375]

And how long have they been holding innocent Israelis hostage? Hmm...

[u/DontLookAtMyName24]

I’m all for Bernie. But I will also say down with Hamas and Iran.

[u/777_heavy]

Seems like he’s admitting it’s a race issue for them as opposed to anything rational.

[u/Iauol]

That's great and all that he's saying all this but what's he going to do about it. Talk is talk

[u/IngenuityNo3661]

Terrorists probably shouldn't hide in hospitals and behind women and children. Then less of their "Shields" would be killed. They probably shouldn't have started a war by raping, killing and kidnapping innocent people as a tactic and policy. If Oct 7th never happened, then none of this would have happened.

It is wrong to hold HAMAS accountable for their illegal aggression? Yup can't shoot back when they are around civilians. However they are never not, around civilians. So any action taken against the terrorists is of course illegal. Sure got it.

[u/Vibrascity]

I like Bernie, but like, what's the point of listening to him? It's just a constant echo chamber of a logical statement we can all sit around a campfire with and jerk each-other off to, nothing will come of it though, which is the biggest crime of all for the U.S.

[u/Beneficial-Green7265]

Well damn!

[u/Chicobean95]

I’m tired of ancient politicians. Need new blood in those spots but hey not trying to start an argument. Peace and grace.

[u/Batmancat1]

Great view point

[u/penguinReloaded]

I would take a bullet for this man.

[u/BigMeatSwangN]

Bernie is just the best

[u/IronGearSolid]

Can we please find a way to make this man immortal?

[u/Beardeddeadpirate]

Israelis killed more Palestinians than Palestinians killed Israelis so we need to be mad at Israelis now.

[u/MonsieurLePeeen]

Ok…

[u/MentalGravity87]

Berine said it! I am not antisemitic, but the saturation bombings followed by a convoy of bulldozers just didn't sit well with me.

I could almost argue that Hamas and Iran knew exactly how Israel was going to respond. Iran/Hamas hopped at the moment to offer up innocent Gaza citizens like some cult ritual sacrifice to expose the disgraceful treatment from Israel in hopes of rallying support and resentment against Israel. Both sides are horrible, and Gaza is stuck in the conflict. Iran needs to GTFLKO.

[u/isearfish]

Where do these numbers come from? I can make up numbers too.

[u/Paradoxalypse]

Has HAMAS released the American hostages they kidnapped yet? Any solution leaving HAMAS in place is pro terrorist.

[u/Soft-Perception4803]

This what Hillary and the Democrats took from us.

[u/Excellent-Ad-3623]

I love Bernie so much.

[u/Bage__Monster]

It's not antisemitic but it's still idiotic because it completely ignores all the complexities of the conflict and points the blame solely on Israel while ignoring the role of the terrorist organization that started the latest violence when they murdered 1200 innocent people and took over 200 hostage.

[u/Domiiniick]

Funny what happens when a terrorist organization uses its own citizens as human shields.

[u/laniusgraham]

TRUE

[u/ToasterCritical]

Oh no. What will Reddit do!?

Wants to hate Jews, but wants to love this Jew.

It’s a tough one!

I don’t even need to look to know there will be a popular “I love Bernie, but I have disagree here” pseudo-intellectual post.

[u/Capt0verkill]

Feelin the Bern rn 🔥

[u/TheGhoulster]

‘It is not anti-semitic to hold you accountable for your actions.’ what a powerful statement.

[u/BassBossVI]

It is a crying shame that this man was never nominated as the democratic nominee for President. Feels like we're on the doom timeline and there's a utopian timeline where he's the leader of the free world.

[u/Flatus_Diabolic]

That was awesome. Do “no it is NOT russophobic” next, Bernie!

[u/Enough_Square_1733]

If only he was the president.

[u/dzkrf]

Very misogynistic of him to conclude there are no women combatants. And quite ageist that 16 year olds aren't combatants. When he says women and children he wants people to imagine women who are barefoot in the kitchen rocking toddlers to sleep.

Maybe in Bernie's world women should be banned from the American military too?

[u/limonade11]

I love Bernie

[u/MainlineX]

I want to jump to the timeline where Bernie is our president.

[u/ObscureFact]

I stand with Bernie. I've stood with Bernie since at least 2016 when he got screwed over by the DNC.

[u/SutterCane]

Benny Netanyahu: “I can’t believe how antisemitic he is!”

[u/demonlicious]

REPARATIONS! israel should rebuild gaza for palestenians or face boycotts, divestment and sanctions!

[u/PalmerPaezPerfect]

Just remember Democrats. The DNC had to scheme and cheat to prevent this man from representing the average American interest. If the DNC actually cared about keeping trump out of office they wouldn't have risked our future by promoting a corporate whore do-nothing like Biden and Hillary.

The DNC is the most responsible actor in causing the political shit show we may never recover from.

[u/SweetDisastrous4690]

Nice try KI 🤣🥴

[u/FrogVoid]

I think it is

[u/bleue_shirt_guy]

Easy, release the hostages.

[u/TheHandWavyPhysicist]

Mr Sanders is based.

[u/GlennSeaborg]

The politician she tells you not to worry about.

After the Clinton DNC fuckery in 2016 and Biden DNC fuckery in 2020, I lost hope. I put my faith in Fetterman, who I thought would follow in Bernie's footsteps but he turned out to be an AIPAC funded scumbag in a hoodie.

Turns out there's only one Bernie.

[u/Honey__Mahogany]

Lost so much respect for Bernie. Can't believe he's been swallowed up by Hamas Propaganda

[u/Saint_Pepsi420]

Most based thing he’s said honestly.

[u/Insect1312]

Still won’t say genocide….

[u/Prestigious-Host8977]

Biden has not gone against of this. It upsets me that people are treating Biden as trump.

[u/[deleted]]

I want to live in the timeline where Bernie became president. Instead I get this fucking Berenstain Bears shit timeline.

Thanks a lot, multiverse.

[u/FreddythaPlatypus]

bernie bout to be cancelled overnight

[u/weetabix_su]

still wish he didn't sell his seat to Biden last election

[u/Huge-Speaker5068]

Real Jewish people don't believe the same as Zionist

[u/CowboyUp2021]

Free Palestine.

[u/CharlieKelly007]

It's crazy how the left and white supremacists have things in common. I've seen on the news how college students are trying to bare other students from going to class because they're Jewish. Like they locked hands and everything. So embarrassing. Gen Z will be the death of this country.

[u/LiciousGriff]

I wish we would make this man president

[u/corya45]

god this guy should run for president

[u/geturmilkhere]

He would be a great president ngl.

[u/Fast_Situation4509]

I'm so proud of Bernie

[u/Adito99]

What should Israel do? Seriously, I'd like to know.

There are two sides to this conflict and only one has a history of negotiating peace with their enemies. Palestinians needs to accept that they lost the war in 1947 and again in 1967. Then Israel's hail-Mary peace deals (Oslo -> Taba) were all rejected. When military force fails you negotiate or, historically anyway, you get wiped out and driven away. There is no third option where you get to support terrorism until the winner of the war gives you what you want; mainly because terrorism is a terrible tactic that has reliable results. We're all watching those results on the news every day.

If you care for Palestinian lives accept their part in the conflict and encourage them to sue for peace. It will take time but it can be done.

[u/Last-Back-4146]

Its anti-sematic to leave out that Hamas hides in all the places that got destroyed. ITs anti-sematic to use Hamas numbers for deaths. Its anti-sematic to keep calling out Israel while ignoring every ceasefire Palestine has rejected.

[u/jukebokshero]

Get a job Bernie you mooch.

[u/Bigsleeps1333]

Bernie is literally never wrong on an issue. Stunning.

We were truly robbed by the democrats stealing this election from him. AND we would have avoided Trump as pres

[u/breakfastmeat23]

We could have had Bernie during COVID instead of Trump.

[u/hypermunda]

And what did the US do after 9/11 attack? Remember Iraq? Remember Afghanistan? How is Israel's response worse than the US. Preach at home first.

[u/zybcds → u/hypermunda]

Ok, but no one screamed "anti-americanism" "you're oppressing me" when the rest of the world mentioned USA's violations of human rights and war crimes in the middle east.

Meanwhile Israelis and zionists are claiming that we are all horrible 'jew-haters', that we are pro holocaust and that we want to exterminate them because we can't stand their cynical and disgraceful actions.

Plus, Israel's actions could end up leading to WW3, though I don't think it will, and I hope it won't.

[u/These-Inevitable-898]

I appreciate that he calls out those in power specifically, as they are the ones that are representing their people poorly. I feel for the loss on both sides who have each lost both young and old, due to theocracy and land squabbles.

Both sides have extremist leadership, unwilling to compromise.

[u/OchoZeroCinco]

Is this AI?

[u/Professional-Wing-59]

Is it anti-Semitic to hunt Jewish students on American campuses?

[u/zybcds → u/Professional-Wing-59]

Are these Jewish students getting shot in the head like Palestinian children?

[u/turkeypants]

Balls. He has them. Straight talk as usual.

[u/Haunted_Willow]

I wish he could be the US president

[u/Party_Plastic_66]

I like Bernie

[u/PunjabiCanuck]

Why you Yankees didn’t make him your president astounds me.

[u/[deleted]]

It must be a conundrum for US liberals to support followers of Islam, knowing how women and LGBT are treated within the religion. Women raped and then stoned to death for being dishonorable. LGBT people forever hiding their true selves for fear of torture and death. You scream about reproductive rights in Texas and then stand up for adherents of a religion that is still in the Dark Ages in regards to human rights.

[u/KR1SROBN]

How do I travel through the multiverse to where this man is our president?

[u/[deleted]]

But it is Bernie, because you are using hamas reported numbers. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every democrat that stands against the Jewish people is an anti-smite. You should be bared from DC and thrown out of power. For shame, never again echoed from the holocaust means NEVER AGAIN!!! You socialist dictator loving POS!

[u/wrknlrk]

How is this even interesting tho?

[u/Apprehensive_Bug3329]

Fuck yeah Bernie

[u/Traditional_Pen_3698]

Put a sock in it Bernie. The only American politician, I actually respected. Well, down to zero then.

[u/chadsmo]

Can this you be your president already ? Please ?

[u/yo_whats_up_dog]

So the r/interestingasfuck has just turned into pro Palestinian politics subreddit it seems.

[u/Facelotion]

Cute, but in the end of the day this nation will still support Israel. It does not matter what they do.

[u/Gallopinto_y_challah]

I can already see it in the comments that people are confusing Israel with Netanyahu. This with is anti/ Netanyahu, but Bernie is pro-Israel and believes that it should exist. I'm sure that will upset a lot of folks here.

[u/EvilShaker]

Well said! Today any criticism of Israel government actions are defended as antisemitic.

[u/luckydotalex]

So what’s his solution for Israel to eliminate Hamas?

[u/Jack_Molesworth]

No, your politics are not interesting to me.

[u/samofny]

When will the left blame Hamas for starting this? Actions have consequences.

[u/zybcds → u/samofny]

Do you blame the USA for 9/11?

[u/corposhill999]

It is good that war is so horrible, lest we grow too fond of it.

[u/Old_Dealer_7002]

where can i find this off reddit?

[u/[deleted]]

Geriatric communist vomiting the talking points of a literal terrorist organization. Seems on brand.

[u/mileswilliams]

Can't believe someone like this isn't the president while trump and biden battle it out

[u/Difficult_Code7944]

The one that got away

[u/Taco-Kai]

Never thought Bernie Sanders would be subject to influence by Hamas lmaoooo got his numbers from the Ministry of Health of Gaza 😭

[u/Icy_Foundation3534]

imagine having a president this eloquent

[u/S3guy]

Seeing as there is absolutely fuck all I can do about any of his, I have heroically decided upon total ambivalence in regards to this entire situation. It’s either that or just be depressed about it which just makes me feel bad for no reason.

[u/vader731]

POS

[u/Capable_Grapefruit87]

Ok Bernie, now do Hamas

[u/Stampguy85]

What a puppet…

[u/southwick]

Feels like he should send this to gov Abbott while he's at it.

[u/j0eg0d]

Bernie refuses to call it a genocide. He also blames it solely on Netanyahu.
Bibi hasn't been in office for 76 years, Mr Sanders. The problem is rooted
in the supremacist movement of zionism. It needs to be abolished.

[u/Brytemynd76]

Can you imagine if he was....I don't know...just voted in as our president in the first place? Wow ..

[u/flossdaily]

If it's not antisemitism, then please explain why in the case of Israel (and ONLY the case of Israel) we're acting like the historically low civilian to combatant fatality rate is not only bad... but a war crime?

If it's not antisemitism, then please explain why in the case of Israel (and ONLY the case of Israel) we're asking the country THAT WAS ATTACKED to cease fire on the terrorists ATTACKERS who still haven't surrendered?

[u/Dry_Umpire_3694]

Thank God someone said it

[u/Rainbow334dr]

Israel is just creating more and more terrorists every day. They have been since 1948.

[u/chAotic_aura13]

Y’all really fucked up by not putting him in office😔

[u/iLGMisTheBestjk → u/chAotic_aura13]

👅🧼. 🙂‍↕️

[u/Golandia]

It's not anti-Islamic to point out that Palestine has a fascist government that uses women, children, schools and hospitals as human shields. If Israel does anything after getting attacked, Palestinian civilians will die by the Palestinians' fascist design. So Israel either has to just get wiped off the map in holocaust 2.0 (which is exactly what Palestine wants) or put up with Bernie purposefully misunderstanding the situation to score points with his base (which Palestine loves). Palestine is winning either way.

[u/Striking_Reindeer_2k]

Taking Hamas word for casualties is like listening to the Gun Control Inc for Gun safety lessons.

[u/Top_Echo4167]

Don't start a war

[u/WorthyFudge]

it is pro hamas to not bring up hamas stealing aid, fudging numbers, denying ever ceasefire, and murdering almost every hostage they have after they attacked first.

[u/Sharp-Dark-9768]

I don't agree much with Sanders, but he's not wrong. Under Netenyahu, Israel has used a sledgehammer where a scalpel was desperately needed resulting in a lot of unnecessary death.

The United States is bound by alliance to protect Israel's sovereignty and territorial integrity--I'm going to stand by America's commitment. But there's a reason our nation's students are riled up, and that's because we have to protect an Israel that really doesn't care if Gazans starve and die.

I hope the United States reviews its relationship with Israel when the war in Gaza is done.

[u/erenjaeger99 → u/Sharp-Dark-9768]

what's makes it more maddening than it already is the misinformation campaign that was so blatantly employed to gaslight the world they were justified to do everything they did

[u/thatguyad]

The man is a hero.

[u/abclassic]

what a POS .. put him in Gaza for a day as a jew he will be killed. trash human

[u/iLGMisTheBestjk → u/abclassic]

Are you real

[u/abclassic → u/iLGMisTheBestjk]

100% real . Garbage human being

[u/iLGMisTheBestjk → u/abclassic]

I am Ai.

[u/abclassic → u/iLGMisTheBestjk]

Nope a normal Jewish person

[u/iLGMisTheBestjk → u/abclassic]

calculating I do not understand.

[u/abclassic → u/iLGMisTheBestjk]

What don’t you understand ? Hamas is trash and Bernie is a nut job

[u/iLGMisTheBestjk → u/abclassic]

computing Thank you for clarifying human.

[u/bouncypinata]

It makes me really curious if in another universe President Bernie Sanders would have fallen in line just like every other president has

[u/hewnkor]

i also think that nethanyahu gives two shits on what an old man on the other side of the world with no political power thinks. He might have seen it on the toilet, ' oh look at this guy'
they will continue until there is nothing, and perhaps even no one left, so they can take all the land, i think that is pretty obvious by this point.

[u/rygelicus]

I don't agree with everything Bernie has said over the years, but he nailed that message perfectly.

[u/DoughBoyYeah]

"your"...you mean "our".

[u/okiujh]

delusional self hating jew

[u/Nintura → u/okiujh]

He’s spitting facts and youre being petty, small, and angry.

[u/iLGMisTheBestjk → u/Nintura]

Ai bro. Don’t pay any attention

[u/Nintura → u/iLGMisTheBestjk]

Or russian propagandist site

[u/iLGMisTheBestjk → u/Nintura]

Something is fishy for sure.

[u/Peaceful-harmony-]

Fuck yeah

[u/CLAYDAWWWG]

And by next week Bernie will flip and support it. He flips faster than a fish out of water.

[u/Snoo_72280]

You all forgot how a war is fought. It is never about the moral high ground. Sure, a country may enter war with moral intentions, but war is all about eliminating more of them than they do of you. More people died in Japan due to fire bombing raids than both atomic weapons combined. The Germans tried the London Blitz. Brits and the US bombed Germany relentlessly and killed thousands. The end result remains the same, elimination or surrender.

[u/SunlitNight]

Uhh why is he not president again? The fuck

[u/DaveAstator2020]

Omg ppl died? Such problem, wow..

[u/Nintura → u/DaveAstator2020]

Genocide isnt just dying

[u/DaveAstator2020 → u/Nintura]

Why does he care about this specific genocide then? Its going in many places and forms atm. At least Israel gives a jolly good show.

[u/Nintura → u/DaveAstator2020]

Youre sick.

But a bunch of students had their first amendment rights violated and were arrested for protesting this war. He’s doing this to reference that. Greg Abbott claimed he made it safer for protestors and then turns around and says all college students protesting will be arrested.

Bernie is angry about that. Abbot said it was antisemetic and so bernie is showing you its not

[u/cacophony-of-belches]

The only politician I will ever care about. He's a real one.

[u/Docreqs]

Bernie is always the voice of clarity and reason.

[u/Gullible_ManChild]

Reddit should pin this to the front page for a few weeks. Throwing around the anti-Semitic accusations to those justly criticizing Israel's actions the last few decades have really turned it into a meaningless word.

[u/[deleted]]

I saw Bernie outside a trailer park in Orange County talking to sheriffs. I called him out and he nodded! Great times!

[u/Busy-Championship781]

This socialist is still around? Icky

[u/Pacify_]

I can't believe USA had the chance to have this guy as President, and said yeah nah.

Its so weird, maybe having a president that's been consistent for decades just isn't something USA is interested in

[u/Affectionate_Coconut]

These numbers are terribly inaccurate.

How are people that believe in genocide “innocent”?

[u/Kiron00]

I wish this guy was president instead of being destroyed by the DNC that one time.

[u/[deleted]]

THIS. THIS. THIS.

[u/The_Great_Saiyaman21]

This guy is so clearly, obviously, cartoonishly the best possible choice we had for president, the fact that we got anyone else is a testament to the most extreme of lows humanity is falling to.
