    1. Sure would be nice for my taxes to fund universal healthcare, housing for all, infrastructure and expanded social safety nets for other Americans versus blowing up children.

      It’s also time to end Soldier Worship in this country. The military is engaging in violation of international law by abducting merchant vessels, killing of unarmed civilians, and supplying arms to conduct genocide. This is not an honorable profession, and should not be treated as such.

    3. i see bernie is still pushing the idea that it would all be fixed if we just stopped netanyahu instead of acknowledging the hundred of thousands of israelis happily engaging in a genocide

      Bernie still refuses to see it as a deeper issue than Netanyahu as an individual

    5. Sanders says this but also says Israel has a right to defend itself despite all of their atrocities against mankind

      Israel wants to wean itself off US military assistance before a new generation of US politicians can dictate terms to it.

      Israel essentially wants full autonomous ability to carry out its plans for regional ethnic cleansing.

      Ironically, an Israel that’s more reliant on the US is more susceptible to US political pressure.

      Well, let’s see how fast the Republicans move to take away this “entitlement” spending….

      Sick and tired of Bernie scapegoating Netanyahu (and his government) and as if genocide and settler colonialism aren’t woven into Israel’s identity.

      Perfect this sounds really nice, no chance they move forward by manipulate the tax payer money into slush funds/ crypto to secretly pay each other now.

      They won’t need any military support after this because we’ll have done all the heavy lifting for them

      Ending aid is NOT ENOUGH. Look at Project 2025. The current US/Israeli plan is to entangle their public and private offense industries so much that they become co-dependent and virtually impossible to disentangle. Israel won’t have to rely on aid because they’ll have a more direct line to US weapons and funds.

      Bernie is moving too slowly on this issue. Ask yourself: why would Bibi want to end aid? Why are he and Bernie aligned here? Answer: because Bibi stands to benefit. The plan is literally in writing. If Bibi wants something, the good thing to do is not give it to him.

      Call everyone and protest LOUDLY AND BE A NUISANCE. Don’t let the Amerisraeli project be finished.

      Wean off? They shouldn’t be getting anything. They’re child murderers and terrorists

      So they plan on squeezing every drop of American dollars towards the genocide and destruction of people and places in the Middle East and in 10 years the U.S. will be beholden to them begging for money to sustain our economy ?

      Israel is only weaning the US off because we’ve outlived our usefulness to them. They got what they wanted which was uninterrupted access to the best tech and the US doing the same type of strikes in the Middle East as they are so we can be seen as hypocrites if we tell them to stop, plus the added bonus of the same country being insolvent in debt so they and Russia can do as they please in the world while we inevitably start to duke it out with ourselves.

      Interesting to see how 60 minutes using their airtime now that bari Weiss is in charge. Did they discuss his current warrant with the ICC? Doubtful

      The writing is on the wall and he has to get out in front of it. The financial support we send to Israel and their use of aipac have become hot button issues with democrats in congress as well as citizens in this country. People are starting to push back and it’s time for a change

      I’m so glad I had Bernie as a role model growing up, he’s a decent man.
