Bernie Sanders’s 27 years of Israel answers
On Sunday afternoon, a woman holding pictures of dead Palestinians confronted Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) about America’s policy toward Israel. Would a President Sanders make the United States into an arbiter of peace? His answer — slightly muffled in this video by the many fans set up to cool the room — went over very well.
“Palestinians are entitled to a state of their own,” said Sanders, “and the United States should do what it can to make sure that state has a strong economy. Israel is entitled to live in security, not be attacked.” Sanders, who if elected would be the first Jewish president, got applause for saying he’d skipped the congressional address of Israel’s prime minister.
