    I mean, if he said “cut off funding” period, I would agree. But he deliberately said for “Netanyahu’s illegal war” which is very much an attempt at saying ceasefire without uttering the word, so this is effectively the same. It takes the liberal Zionist approach of trying to frame the more “quiet” ethnic cleansing of Palestine pre-October 7 as an acceptable status quo while using Netanyahu as a scapegoat.

    Even if Bernie had to take a Zionist approach which doesn’t broach the topic of Israel’s inherent existence being genocidal, he could at least focus on the occupation itself and Israel’s continued arrogance at brushing off even the pretense of a Palestinian state. Point being that it’s not ideal but it would be a good next step.

      Exactly, libs have been doing this shit where they redirect their Trump derangement onto Netanyahu in order to whitewash the inherent crime of isntrael existing as a genocidal apartheid state
