The problem with Bernie Sanders’s ‘it is genocide’ admission
www.aljazeera.com
The US senator recognises the genocide of the Palestinian people but ends up blaming them for it.

History will judge us for whether we could see genocide for what it is, without asterisks, without exceptions, without the comfortable lies that let the powerful sleep while children starve to death or get torn to pieces. If we fail to grasp this fundamental truth, we do not just fail Palestinians. We fail every occupied, colonised, and oppressed people who might one day be told their resistance justifies their extermination.

    Bingo. Took him years to admit it, but immediately opens up by blaming the genocide on Al-Aqsa Flood and the resistance groups fighting against nearly a century of settler-colonial genocide. Bernie’s a sheepdog.

    Anyone who prefaces every criticism of Israel with a condemnation of KHAMMAS is an imperialist. And yet he still tries to cling on to his reputation as an egalitarian with hollow words of support for “oppressed people”.
