    Because he’s said multiple times that that word should instead be attributed by the international court of justice

    https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/09/politics/video/israel-genocide-bernie-sanders-collins-source-digvid

    Its intentional that he doesn’t say genocide, because its a powerful legal word and he believes its not his place to apply it - however his stance and his actions are clear - abundantly clear - latching onto this one point, that he explicitly has a rationale for is silly at best, and deceptive at worst.

          says and does.

          those are two different things. Not a difficult concept to grasp. Say one thing and do another, that’s what politicians do.
          This US imperialist warmonger fake leftists is no different.

          And I certainly do care that he DID say shitrael has the right to defend itself over and over again.

              LOL you’re the shithole banana republic.
              Nothing pleases me more than watching it go down in flames.
              I’m from a civilised EU country with actual left wing politicians, I can only laugh at you lashing out like a frustrated toddler.
              I do hope our politicians finally break ties with your cancer to the world country and let you rot like you deserve.
              Bye now, don’t cry to much.
