The Middle East and foreign policy were topics on the table in the latest round of deliberations related to government and the future U.S. presidency.
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon said Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) “is suggesting to give less military assistance to the United States’ most important ally in the Middle East in order to give it to Hamas, a terrorist organization that celebrated the tragedy of 9/11.”
Criticizing Israeli policies is “not anti-Semitic,” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders argues in new op-ed, calling out “cynical accusations of antisemitism” against progressives.
The senator from Vermont accused Trump of “using false allegations” of anti-Semitism to make the U.S.-Israel relationship a divisive issue.
“Just when you thought Bernie Sanders couldn’t get any more radical, he outdid himself,” says former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
Amer Zahr has expressed support for Zahra Billoo, who resigned from the Women’s March board for her history of making anti-Semitic remarks, including applauding Hamas’s terrorist attacks against Israel.
The three freshmen congresswomen are scheduled to officially make the announcement at a rally for Sanders at an Oct. 19 rally in New York.
After some time for a rest, the campaign announced that the senator plans to participate in the Oct. 15 primary debate.
“He will be resting up over the next few days. We are canceling his events and appearances until further notice, and we will continue to provide appropriate updates,” reported his campaign staff.
U.S. political activist Linda Sarsour says Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders would usher in a “transformative foreign policy” that “sees Palestinians as human beings.”
“All that I have ever said on [the Israeli-Palestinian conflict] is that U.S. foreign policy should be even-handed. That’s all—even-handed,” he said in response to a question at a New Hampshire town hall from an activist affiliated with the anti-Israel group IfNotNow.
“What we need is a foreign policy that focuses on diplomacy ending conflicts by people sitting at a table and not killing each other,” said Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
