Why I think Bernie Sanders being interrupted is more important than you might imagine (Conspiracy)

submitted ago by FinnTheHuman

This event proved how easy it is to get close to presidential candidates. People walked right onto his stage, right up to him. They could have easily harmed him. Where was his security? Why were they allowed onto the stage at all? I don't recall Hillary Clinton being shoved off stage, let alone any of the Republican candidates- who we all know have been more vocal about their racist beliefs than the Democrats (who tend to say they are for helping minorities, but end up using them for political gain).

People really need to look up Bernie Sanders, he is known for his pro-war and pro-Zionist views.

He supported even supported the last genocide by the Israelis against the besieged people of Gaza. Let us not get tricked by this guy.

This relative silence on Israel-related issues, however, seems to have broken during and after the 2014 Gaza conflict, during which 72 Israelis and over 2,100 Palestinians were killed, the majority of them civilians. In an undated statement on his Senate website , Sanders decried “the Israeli attacks that killed hundreds of innocent people – including many women and children,” calling the bombings “disproportionate” and “completely unacceptable.”

In mid-July 2014, Sanders was one of just 21 Senators not to co-sponsor a resolution expressing support for Israel in the conflict with Hamas. The resolution passed on July 17 by unanimous consent, meaning that no roll call vote was taken on the measure.

In the video of the August 2014 town hall, recorded while the conflict was still ongoing, Sanders was more equivocal than in the statement now on his website. While asserting that Israel had “overreacted,” and that the bombing of UN facilities was “terribly, terribly wrong,” he also noted that Hamas was launching rockets from populated areas.

“This is a very depressing and difficult issue,” Sanders said at the town hall. “This has gone on for 60 bloody years.”

There are other sources saying that Bernie denounced Israeli actions. What are your sources?

Months after the conflict, in February 2015, Sanders was the first Senator to announce that he would skip Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a joint session of Congress. “[Netanyahu] doesn’t have the right to inject himself into an American political discussion by being the speaker before a joint session of Congress to criticize the United States,” Sanders said on CNN.

For real. I hate this idea that one candidate; one good leader or captain of a ship can save us. They're all corrupt. The US voting system is awful. We don't need representatives. We have the technology. We need smaller States and true voting on all key issues.
