Feel the Bern: 'Israel is the cause of Middle East strife'
Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders claims his 'judaism' is an important part of who he is. Israel is apparently not part of his 'Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: Jack W).
Honestly, he doesn't sound that much different than Trump ('level playing field treating everybody equally').
For those who need those words explained, here's an explanation:
Praising former Democrat presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton for their presumably good faith-endeavors to resolve the Israeli-Arab conflict, Sanders implied that America unjustifiably treated the various parties unequally.
In other words, allegedly favorable treatment of Israel at the expense of its Arab enemies needed to change. Moral relativism was also deployed via implication, declaring all sides as entitled to equal treatment.
“For decades now, there has been hatred and warfare in the Middle East,” Sander said.
“All I can tell you is I will make every single effort to bring rational people on both sides [of the Israel/Arab conflict] together, so that hopefully we can have through a level playing field - the United States treating everybody in that region equally - hopefully, and I know that there are people of goodwill in Israel and the Arab communities,”
Attributing regional conflict to Israel’s existence by conflating Israel with the entirety of the Middle East, Sanders neglected to comment on the roles of Muslim and Arab social and cultural pathologies driving the “hatred and warfare” of the region.
Approximating the modern state of Israel’s age - sixty-seven years - Sanders pushed via implication the narrative framing peace between Jews and Arabs in and around Israel as the master key to regional utopia, asserting, "We cannot continue to have for another sixty years the kind of hatred and conflict that exists in the Middle East.”
Earlier in his address, Sanders described Muslims in America as being “scapegoated” by Donald Trump, framing them as an at-risk minority group in need of benevolent Democrat protection while simultaneously casting the Republican front-runner as a modern iteration of Adolf Hitler, as per the weekly left-wing media narrative.
If anyone needs more evidence that the Democratic party does not support Israel (Hillary Clinton is no better but much shrewder), please let me know.Sanders was introduced by Representative Keith Ellison, whose endorsement he procured months earlier.

Carl, you silly! Don't you know a Jew shopping in the grocery store and an Arab murdering him are equals? A Jew walking by shar shechem & knife welding Arab are equals. Three boys hitchhiking home are the same as three boys the same age running towards the IDF with a knife. Come on man, get with the program.
Really, I think Israel needs to follow the World's advice. Maybe we should start teaching our kids to kill and maim innocents so we can finally be the victim.
And Trump will be good for Israel? There are NO good choices. None on the Democratic side. None on the Republican side now that Rubio has fallen.
But Trumps is the most frightening of a very scary crowd.
