Hecklers ejected from Dublin event as Bernie Sanders refuses to call Israel’s actions genocide
In Ireland? An odd choice to take a pro genocide stance there
We need a flattened Jane as well now. Holy shit.
Ms O’Meara Sanders said calling the current events genocide would alienate significant allies in the US, of which, she suggested, there were already too few, and provide opponents with an opportunity to shift the focus of the debate.
Oh great! Thank god he’s not going to call it a genocide so he can get zero bills passed instead of zero bills passed
Oh I assure you the Dems are passing plenty of bills. They’re passing the ones Republicans are writing!
Really weird how it’s never the other way around yet they continue this behavior.
Well I guess there’s nothing to be done except vote for the Dems again. It’s all those damn tankies fault.
significant allies like good friend chuck schumer?
the fuck she talks about
Call me an uncompromising radical, but I don't consider genocidaires or their abetters potential allies. We're just too different!
I hope an Mk84 2,000 lb. bomb shifts its focus onto her fucking bedroom
allies in the US, of which, she suggested, there were already too few
Gee i wonder why
What’s causing the horrific events? Who knows? Maybe the hospitals just did that.
Vaxxed?
COME OUT, BERNIE SANDS
COME AND FIGHT ME, YE OLD MAN
"...and I don't want to use that word until we can abuse the US's power over the U.N. so that it doesn't include openly declaring your intent to destroy a people and their civilization while doing so, but rather focuses on the evils of providing vocational training like those bastards in China!"
Social fascism on full display. I can't wait for this fucker to die.
Damn look at the liberals coming out of the wood-work.
then
now
nobody has fallen off quite like Bernie
(yes i know he's always been a liberal zionist and a social democrat)
Who remembers the Bernie Sanders song from 2015?
Whooooooooo... betrayed Gaza?
I said whooooooo betrayed Gaza?
again??
what's the valid reason? all im seeing is him saying he doesnt want to get "bogged down" by describing things as they are. the un he claims is still working to define the word has basically declared it a genocide; if he wants to defer to an authority to deflect then he should probably choose a body that hasn't already made their stance on the subject pretty clear.
edit: i guess maybe you mean this?:
would alienate significant allies in the US, of which, she suggested, there were already too few, and provide opponents with an opportunity to shift the focus of the debate.
which is utter nonsense. if your allies are alienated by calling the genocide a genocide then they aren't going to be your allies in stopping the genocide they wont even admit exists.
There's no legitimate reason to defend Israel in any capacity. It's a genocide, full stop, and fuck anyone who won't say so
your comment is trash
Gregory Stanton, the founder of Genocide Watch, defines “ethnic cleansing” as a “euphemism for genocidal practices” used to cover up events that should be prosecuted as genocide and to dehumanise its victims.

It's only genocide if it comes from the genocide region of Germany, otherwise it's sparkling Ethnic Cleansing.
I have a cold and a final exam coming up and this made me have that sick cough laugh 😭
I too have a hard time distinguishing between “good” and “bad” things.
The “radical Islamic fundamentalism” thing was a cynical, racist ploy from the GOP to fire up their little hogs. We call it a genocide because it is a genocide, jfc this isn’t hard. If there was a word that described something worse than a genocide I would use that word, because what is happening in Gaza is one of the worst crimes committed in this world in decades.
That's better than I expected from him.
It still hurts to see him use euphimisms like this directly afterwards
"He added: “I think I, and a majority of the American people, do not want to be complicit in the humanitarian disaster that Netanyahu is causing in Gaza right now.”
but it's further that I thought he was prepared to go.
Thanks for sharing!
should have ejected bernie instead
