He could at least call for a humanitarian siesta where Palestinians get to nap for 1 hour each afternoon.

humanitarian siesta

But then the IDF will claim they heard people talking (or any sounds at all) - and use that as an excuse to kill and bomb.

If he's actually calling for eliminating foreign aid to Israel I'm willing to give him a pass

Yes. 2 years ago. Calling out Biden.

CW LIB link because youtube search sucks ass now.

In his 2020 campaign he specifically called out the Saudis when they were doing a genocide with our support.

  • End U.S. support for the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen, which has created the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophe.

He just comes right up to the edge but won't cross that last little bit

Bernie can yap and yap and yap but he's nothing if not an obedient ~~laptop~~ lapdog for Biden.


Edit: My typo was better than my joke. : (

The only reason he's still got his chairmanship (or his seat, for that matter). Bernie's foreign policy has always been lukewarm. Guy was repping Warren for President back in 2016, before she chickened out.

But he gave a good stump speech and helped carve out a new pole within the Dem party. Its marched on without him.

The one thing I thank Bernie Sanders for is making it easier to despise him now without reluctance. bernie-pout

We need to make this into a dunk tank Clown Bernie meme.

I think a version where the mittens are under his legs would be pretty great

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Maybe we are fortunate the DNC railroaded him

geordi-no ceasefire

geordi-yes stop bombing

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

The symptoms are bad, but the causes are good.

The optimal strategy in Sanders world would be Israel bombing slightly slower while only providing them infinity-1 arms and shaking our head at the ongoing genocide to show that we disagree.
