It kills me that American liberal Jews are still in denial about the nature of today's Jew Hating Democrat Party. Bernie just parroted every lie that HAMAS has provided as talking points. Beyond the sheer ARROGANCE of him deciding "what Israel has the right to do," every single bit of what he said is nonsense. All of it. A day may come when the Democrat Party does not hate Jews, but the only way to force that change is to oust Comrade Cackles from office.
Back to Comrade Sanders: Assholes like him never say WHAT Israel should be "allowed to do" in defending itself. 42,000 was too many, Bernie? How about 41,950 -was that ok? Or was it 38,754? What's THE NUMBER, Bernie?
Bernie is one more secular self-hating Jew. Go read the interview he did with Chicago magazine - he and I were both at The College of the University of Chicago - from 2016 when he was running in the primary. He had a chip on his shoulder from his undergrad days when he felt slighted by "all the rich kids" at the University. As with all Leftists, he's never grown up. He's still living in a Marxist fantasy world, although now his world contains four homes and his wife got paid handsomely for destroying a University which no longer exists because of her incompetence. Trump has PROVEN his loyalty to Israel - from moving the embassy to Jerusalem to forging the Abraham Accords and on and on.
How a single American Jew could vote for Cackles is truly a mystery to me.
Change is hard. Always has been. These Democrats are NOT the Democrats we knew even eight years ago. Sadly, Bernie has been infected by the same mind virus. He is so ideologically married to the Left that he cannot even see they’ve already mentally shoved him in an oven.
I never supported Sanders' candidacy in 2016. While I agree with many of his economic proposals, I found him to be inflexible and didactic. Many of those who supported him described themselves as having "drunk the kool aid", which of course made me think of Jim Jones. And Bernie is a bit of a cult leader. His actions after Hillary became the Democratic candidate were shameful; there is still a strong Bernie cult today, and to me, he was addressing them.
I started watching Bernie's pep talk, but but stopped after "42,000". The attacks on Israel did not end after 10/7/23. To ignore that is to encourage anti-Jewish sentiment towards every American Jew that supports Israel's right to continued existence.
Thank you for this comment. Yeah, there’s a bit of a cult-y way about him, that I will concede. But he really spoke to us millennials back in 2016. I don’t have any regrets about volunteering for him back then. But his remarks about the Israel-Hamas war are unforgivable
This is where I now never underestimate my mom’s view of people like him, someone who came from the Soviet Union and understands the propaganda strategy and thinking of these shills. I remember being enamored by his message, but never supported him because I knew, deep inside, this is who he is. I’m also sad about people I once loved like Stephen Colbert who is no more than a regressive partisan mouth piece who gives legitimate mainstream platforms to people like Bernie, Bowman and AOC on national television. Please tell me what people would say if he had a conservative on who is not a never-trumpet. RIP strangers with candy, Colbert report, daily show etc… Never thought I’d say that. If anyone wants to listen to a real debate with substance and salient back-and-forth arguments, listen to the recent Honestly podcast with Sam Harris and Ben Shapiro. Lots of respect whether you like or dislike them. Personally I like both despite not always agreeing.
No matter what you think of Trump - he will be orders of magnitude better for the US, Israel and the world than his Dem rival. Bernie should have won the nomination in 2016 - it was stolen from him. But he's yet another self-loathing Jew. There were many like him in the Politburo, Jews who thought Communism would annul the need for any religion, including their own. They buried their Jewishness deep inside and hated themselves for it. Stalin killed most of them anyway. And, as you say, to Hitler and his henchmen your status made no difference: a Bernie Sanders or a Michael Bloomberg or a Gabor Matte or a Rabbi from a Polish shtetl: all would have entered Auschwitz and exited through the crematoria chimney
We need to keep saying it over and over again: all of us regardless of our differences would have been shoved together into the same box cars. There is therefore no such thing as “good” or “bad” Jews.
You know I agree with most of what you said. And I think it's a huge mistake for Bernie to have so soundly turned his back on his fellow Jews. If they built camps today Bernie would be in them, irrespective of his position on Israel and Gaza. He should know this.
Here in Sweden, our parties on the left have always been antisemites. Oh sorry - ”anti-Zionists” 🙄. It’s actually fascinating in a morbid way how the left have zero problems with jewhatred but they always cry about so called islamophobia. Our Christian democratic party (which currently is in government with a few other parties on the right) is the only ones who have had the guts to defend Israel. I am usually not a fan of the Christian democrats but I think they will get my vote next time. Defending Israel is
I too was hardcore for Bernie in 2016. He's since proven himself to be an As A Jew, meaning someone who's doing everything he can to get the Jewish people wiped off the face of the earth. I stand very much corrected for my early support. I have voted already, and as a Jew I'm not comfortable with my vote because I believe that both the Democratic and Republican candidates are Bad For The Jews and in voting, we have to make our guess which would be worse. Or vote on other issues. But I would never, ever vote for Sanders again.
Trump won the first time because of far-leftists and ‘progressives’ voting Jill Stein or directly for Trump. Many of Bernie’s campaign staff were pushing that campaign to “own the libs”. Why is anyone surprised that a similar coalition of conservative Muslims and far leftists are pushing for Trump again? Progressive are not about governing but about being self righteous, which feels more intense when not in power. The far left, whom the progressives take their ideas and moral cues from, are illiberal accelerationists, and want the country in flames, exactly like the far right.
Bernie is a despicable token Jew, like so many anti Zionists. Welcome to that realization.
That’s not the only reason Trump won. When I volunteered for Bernie, one of the things we heard repeatedly when we spoke to voters in the Midwest was that they were undecided between Trump and Sanders. Those were swing voters.
That ignores how his own campaign staff worked to help Trump get elected, and how the majority of the dirtbag left did the same. The man has always selected and backed the worst people, and I’ll raise notorious antisemites like Linda Sarsour, Briahna Joy Gray 9 plus years ago.
He’s always been a demagogue who can’t surpass being a token Jew of the grossest antisemites, but as opposed to someone like Jon Stewart, he’s not a jester but a leader of these amoral, genocide-loving Islamist terrorism fans. Like so many other progressive figureheads, he’s watched the open anti-Jewish racism of Muslim Americans, far-leftists, and rank and file ‘progressives’, and is such a narcissistic bastard that he can’t call them out on their words and violent deeds.
Nobody has shown as much hate speech, bigotry, discrimination, and violence toward diaspora Jews in the 21st century as Bernie’s core constituents, and the man has nothing to say.
Bernie’s tired anti Israel rants will have zero effect on the jihadis when they slit his throat with every other infidel. He’s nothing but another political hack doing and saying whatever to stay in power. His fantasy about Palestinians wanting peace has failed over and over. His policies will bring the destruction of Israel and sorry Bernie, the Palestinians in Gaza are enemy combatants. He’s just. another apparatchik.
I don’t understand why you never saw Bernie’s antisemitism. Until 2016 he would only say his parents were refugees from Poland, never admitted or acknowledged that they left Poland because of antisemitism. He honeymooned in the Soviet Union at the height of the save Soviet Jewry movement and continued to say the Soviets never persecuted Jews. To that extent he openly sought to destroy Israel from the time he entered politics. Basically when Israel decided her future lay with the west not the communists.
I’m not sure why you liked any of his policies. He is an avowed Marxist and where have you seen this economic philosophy prove viable? Of course the Marxism doesn’t apply to him or his wife, millionaires both.
Bernie lived in Israel and worked on a kibbutz. I viewed him as Jewish in the way my great-grandfather, a socialist, was. My ancestors were huge fans of FDR and I viewed Bernie as attempting to bring the Democrats back to that sort of vision. And like millions of other Americans, I believed that a sharp correction was needed to address increasing economic inequality.
Bernie worked on a kibbutz for a few months before 1967 just like a lot of Jewish teens did at that time, before Israel rejected socialism and joined with the west. BTW I am of that generation. And as far as FDR you mean the FDR that closed the immigration doors to jews running from nazism? You mean the FDR that refused to bomb the tracks leading to auschwitz. Your ancestors who loved FDR were blind to how he abandoned the Jews at their most needy hour. Watch the Holocaust on PBS by Ken Burns. And as far as economic inequality you can try to correct that without siding with a self hating jew who supports those who slaughter jewish babies.
Why does a genocidal antisemitic hate cult care about the so called global left? Where do you even get this idea from? Their goal was for Hezbollah to join them and to annihilate Israel.
You posted it. You need to explain or source it because it sounds like utter bullshit. Especially seeing how the global left has allied itself with the genocidal antisemites.
Fuck Bernie is a good idea. The rest of your stuff needs a little work but you will get there. Fuck Bernie is a great start.
I don't need to explain any more than I want to on my own work. I've written extensively about all of this in other articles so you're free to read them if you want to see more of my thinking on this issue. You are of course free to disagree.
I hope you understand that his hate for Israel and willing to please the far left anti-Zionist Jew hating crowd is not just him. Kamala is exactly the same. That’s way she past over Josh Shapiro as VP.

It pains me to admit this, but much (not all) of what you’re saying I agree with. I won’t say which specific parts. ;)
Change is hard. Always has been. These Democrats are NOT the Democrats we knew even eight years ago. Sadly, Bernie has been infected by the same mind virus. He is so ideologically married to the Left that he cannot even see they’ve already mentally shoved him in an oven.

A lot of us feel politically homeless for one reason or another.
Very true.
Yes indeed.

Bernie always struck me as the “go to Jew” for leftists who only like the “as a Jew” Jews. This ad solidifies that opinion.
It wasn’t always like that - it is now, sadly.
I too was hardcore for Bernie in 2016. He's since proven himself to be an As A Jew, meaning someone who's doing everything he can to get the Jewish people wiped off the face of the earth.

Or vote on other issues. But I would never, ever vote for Sanders again.
It’s nice to hear from someone else who also supported Bernie. Thanks for the comment!
I was so hopeful of Bernie in 2016, slowly that has eroded to now where I don’t trust a word he says

Hamas goal was destruction of the global left? I can’t wrap my head around this statement.
What do you mean you oppose the war in Gaza? Like what are next steps? Israel leave unilaterally?
But yes I agree with the fuck tiu Bernie.
He’s an old socialist crack pot who hates Jewish nationalism.
It was one of their goals, among others.
Why does a genocidal antisemitic hate cult care about the so called global left? Where do you even get this idea from? Their goal was for Hezbollah to join them and to annihilate Israel.
Use your critical thinking skills. It will come to you.
You posted it. You need to explain or source it because it sounds like utter bullshit. Especially seeing how the global left has allied itself with the genocidal antisemites.
Fuck Bernie is a good idea. The rest of your stuff needs a little work but you will get there. Fuck Bernie is a great start.

Sanders is a self hating Jew and unrepentant Communist
