BUZZ NOTE: According to Sanders, a self-loathing Jew, Israel is a racist country, ignoring the fact that Israel has a 20% Arab/Muslim population with the same rights as Jews, the right to vote, at least one Arab/Muslim political party in the Knesset, Arab/Muslim mayors and officials in many towns, at least one Supreme Court judge, members of the IDF, professionals such as doctors, nurses, in the Israeli Hospitals (I personally witnessed that years ago in an Orthodox Jewish hospital), owners and partners in businesses, etc etc etc.
As for Netanyahu, I have been critical of him for some reasons as well, but he is a strong defender of the security of Israel, and from what I see happening in Israel with the inconclusive elections, may not be around much longer anyway.

Haley: Sanders wants to give Israel's money to terrorists
Former US Ambassador to UN: Just when you thought Bernie Sanders couldn’t get any more radical, he outdid himself.

Nikki Haley, the former US Ambassador to the UN, on Monday fired back after Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) called the Israeli government “racist” and suggested that the US should redirect its aid to Israel and give it to Gaza instead.
“Just when you thought Bernie Sanders couldn’t get any more radical, he outdid himself. He wants to take money we give to Israel to defend itself from terrorists, and give it to Gaza, which is run by terrorists?? Unreal. Why isn’t every other Dem pres candidate saying he’s wrong?” tweeted Haley.
Sanders, who is seeking the Democratic party’s presidential nomination, made the comments during an address at the J Street conference.
"It is not anti-Semitism to say that the Netanyahu government has been racist," Sanders said. "That's a fact."
He also addressed the close friendship between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and ridiculed the two, saying, "One is on the way to being ousted and the other may be sent to prison."
Sanders, who is Jewish, has caused an uproar due to anti-Israel statements he has made in the past.
In August, Sanders said the US cannot prioritize the wants and needs of Israel over all else if it wants to help bring peace to the Middle East.
In April, he described the Israeli government as “racist” and said that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “is a right-wing politician who I think is treating the Palestinian people extremely unfairly."
Last year, he criticized Netanyahu and his policies, saying, "As someone who believes absolutely and unequivocally in Israel's right to exist... we must say loudly and clearly, that to oppose the reactionary policies of Prime Minister Netanyahu does not make us anti-Israel."

Since when is American Foreign Aid automatically presumed to be "Israel's Money"?
And, since when is it okay for foreigners to slander American Jews in such ways that if any other person were to did so publicly they might rightfully be accused of indulging in antisemitic rhetoric?
Is Bernie Sanders a "Self Loathing Jew"? United States Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont? US Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders? That Bernie Sanders?
This is cringe worthy content which actually may actually be contrary to American election laws. Now let the endless drone of indignant unfounded baseless accusations and assaults upon my character commence. I am used to it...
Who are you accusing of violating American election laws? Buzz?
Maybe, per the FBI's website. It surely might trigger an official inquiry or cause red flags among US intelligence agencies. See The atrached...
Then you must be unaware that it is illegal for foreigners to try and influence an American Presidential campaign.
And, I will also guarantee you one damn thing, too. There are no websites widely available to the people of China where Americans, foreigners or even Chinese can slander the elected leaders of China's government the way US Senator and US Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders has been slandered here! NONE!NADA! ZERO! ZIP! [Deleted]
Slandering the POTUS and his government is commonplace around the world, but it doesn't COMPARE to the total lack of disrespect slandering SO MANY Americans have for them, their own flag and national anthem that it pales American anti-China psychosis to be tiny in comparison.
I'd venture to say that the Democrats may preach that but their hero Obama sure as hell didn't practise, interfering in both Israel's and Canada's elections.
And monkeys surely might fly out of my butt.
The headline was badly written but I am not permitted to rewrite it. If you take the trouble to go past just the headline and actually read the quoted words that Nikki Haley said, you might have come to the conclusion that the headline was probably written by a person whose English is not their first language, and I'm sure, jbb, that you would not be the kind of person who would criticize a person whose second language might not be perfect.
Haley's words that were quoted were "He wants to take money we give to Israel to defend itself from terrorists, and give it to Gaza, which is run by terrorists??"
If you don't identify the person you mean as a foreigner, then withdraw the statement as it is a generalization or it will be flagged as one.
In my opinion, any Jew who bashes Israel, who supports BDS, is a self-loathing Jew.
Go ahead and start a lawsuit against Nikki Haley, or even me, if you like throwing your money away.
Explain to me and everyone else here why you are condemning a foreign source for saying something potentially derogatory about a democrat politician but completely support and encourage foreigners to condemn and falsely accuse Republican politicians? Do you employ and advocate for the use of some sort of different or variable standard be used depending on who you agree with?
There are few things more insane in this world than the audacity to accuse Israel of racism, intolerance, and injustice, particularly when you compare it to the other countries in the region.
Haley? What ever. Is she protecting money? Ours? Or ours that has become theirs?
This whole thing seems scripted straight out of The Kremlin.
"A self loathing Jew." ? ? Really? There is something happening here and it is ugly.
So what is it, bbl-1? Innuendo is a tool for the gutless.
The innuendo you accuse is within this thing you posted. Look at yourself instead of others for an excuse.
And I stand with what I said. "There is something happening here and it is ugly."
