Sen. Bernie Sanders dared to tell the audience at J Street’s 2019 National Conference that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s government is racist and said he hopes to become the nation’s first Jewish President.
Sanders: “It’s not anti-semitism to say that the Netanyahu government has been racist. That’s a fact”
Sanders felt he was okay to say this because J Street is usually openly critical of Netanyahu’s government and the so-called “Israeli occupation” and regularly takes aim at Israel’s “settlements and creeping annexation.” J Street also advocates for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
Sanders, who is Jewish, has been criticized by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). And, earlier this year, they called him out for labeling Netanyahu’s government racist during a CNN town hall.
The U.S.-Israel alliance serves America’s interests. We benefit from the close bonds between the governments and peoples. Name-calling by political leaders against the democratically elected government of Israel is counterproductive to maintaining close ties and advancing peace.

Senator Sanders wants conditions to improve in Gaza since the U.S. gives nearly $3.8 billion annually in foreign aid to Israel. He criticized that in speaking to the crowd and even threatened Israel:
Sanders: “My solution is to say to Israel, you get $3.8 billion every single year. If you want military aid, you’re going to have to fundamentally change your relationship to the people of Gaza. In fact, I think it is fair to say that some of that $3.8 billion should go right now into humanitarian aid in Gaza.”
“The goal must be to try to bring people together and not just support one country, which is now run by a right-wing, dare I say racist government,”

Bernie doesn’t understand how that military aid works, which is shocking since he’s a US Senator. Military Aid is given so the recipient can purchase US-made military equipment. This keeps the US military equipment manufacturers in business, employing workers, and paying US taxes.
The workers pay taxes, too, so much of that aid is recovered at the local, state, and federal levels.
So let me get this straight, Bernie can threaten to withhold US taxpayer money to Israel until Israel does what Bernie wants, and this is ‘upholding the constitutional oath he would take’ and NOT an abuse of power to pressure another country into doing what Sander’s wants.
Republicans better take note and declare impeachment proceedings immediately if he gets elected.
This is direct, hard evidence of a Senator calling for military aid to be withheld unless a foreign country does what he wants. The left cannot continue to impeach Trump, without doing the same to Sanders. If they don’t, then the hoax is exposed.
