Bernie Sanders: “The Most Intense Critic of Israel in the United States”

At The American Spectator, Rabbi Dov Fischer calls Bernie Sanders “the most intense critic of Israel in the United States Senate.” Fischer writes (abridged):

The same shameless hypocrisy is manifest in Bernie Sanders, who dares not call his ideology “communism” because that term reminds all Americans of Stalin and Mao, midnight show trials and firing squads, forcible removal to reeducation camps and mass slaughter. So he calls it “socialism.”

But it is the communism that sees him honeymooning in the Soviet Union and praising Soviet communist bread lines without advocating for freedom of the oppressed seeking to leave.

It is the communism of praising Castro in Cuba, Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, and himself calling for government reining in private enterprises and capital. As Michael Bloomberg noted, this is quite some country where a communist who attacks capitalism himself owns three houses and is a millionaire. So Sanders, like Warren, now attacks the billionaires, but not the millionaires.

He is two-faced and despicable.

The man is a Jew, but an apostate who distances himself from the mainstream of those of his own ethnicity, aligning himself instead with the leftist radical outliers and the Jew-haters.

He is the most intense critic of Israel in the United States Senate and is unabashedly and unequivocally endorsed for president by three of America’s worst Jew-haters: Linda Sarsour, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar.

Obviously, such Jew-haters do not hate each and every last Jew. In every generation, there always is an apostate Bernie Sanders or George Soros to endorse … until the haters ultimately have no more use for them. Tlaib, Omar, and Sarsour had a cesspool full of Democrat presidential candidates from whom to select — and they glommed onto Sanders.

Understand that anyone who sells out his fellow ethnic travelers for the support of those who endorse his apostasy likewise will sell out others who get in his way later. Fortunately, he never has had influence, and he ultimately will fail and bring down the Democrats as George McGovern did in 1972.
