So Bernie Sanders hasn't been railing against the U.S. sending military support to Israel these past few months? He's one of very few doing that. But you want to dismiss him because he doesn't agree it's a "genocide." Have you considered that's exactly what AIPAC wants to get him on, even though he probably thinks it privately and they don't think it at all.

By arguing that Sanders is against Genocide makes him part of the far-right Zionists is quite the leap. But that's how effective propaganda works.

Genocide: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

Israel could not do what it's doing without U.S. weapons. So the real perpetrators of genocide are the U.S., right? Sanders smartly avoids get into the "genocide" question because of the "ethnic group" aspect. We don't care about Palestinians one way or the other. If Sanders calls it genocide that he's taking Hamas' position.

The ultimate question isn't is it a "genocide." The question is who are killing the people in Gaza, why, and how are they able to do it.
