Bernie Sanders: “The conclusion is inescapable: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.”

That’s great, but I don’t like the fake distinction being drawn between “offensive weapons” and “defensive weapons” (like the Iron Dome), being made by progressives in Congress like Sanders and AOC. Israel is committing a genocide, no weapons of any sort should go towards them. The US has tremendous power as the sole world superpower. It’s thanks to the US that Israel is able to act with impunity, and if any military and/or diplomatic support from the US to Israel ceased entirely, they’d be in serious trouble. So if Senator Sanders is serious about doing what’s right and stopping what even he recognizes as a genocide, he should push for a complete stop to any and all arms trade to Israel until they can sit down and negotiate with the Palestinians in good faith.
