Sanders stands alone on Israeli, Palestinian issue

One of many reasons I'm supporting Bernie Sanders for president is that he is the only candidate from either party that doesn't pander to the Israel Lobby. Sanders criticizes Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu for his grotesque and disproportionate use of violence that killed 2.220 Palestinians in the 2014 war, 31 times the number of Israelis killed. He supports a two state solution when Netanyahu speeds ahead with illegals settlements and inexorable theft of water resources that marginalize Palestinians into a pitiful, powerless and subjugated people. Sanders bemoans the inhumane and intolerable conditions that 8 million Israelis have inflicted on 4.5 million Palestinians. Sanders won't say it, but his opposition to the Iraq war was based in part on his knowledge Israel egged on the US to invade Iraq to remake the Middle East with regime change in Syria and Iran to follow, promoting absolute Israeli hegemony in the region. Every other presidential candidate panders to the Israel Lobby, putting the interests of Israel above that of the country issuing their passport.

That's why I support Bernie Sanders for president: doesn't pander; never has; never will.
