Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Sanders Receives Applause and Praise
for Saying US Should Treat Palestinians With 'Respect and Dignity They Deserve'
(snip)
The Atlantic's Peter Beinart said that "the audience cheered when Bernie Sanders spoke about Palestinian rights because ordinary Democrats believe in Palestinian rights."
"And because they know that, even in the Democratic Party, acknowledging Palestinian humanity requires political courage," Beinart added.
The answer was the best The Nation's John Nichols had ever heard on the topic in a presidential debate, he said.
"Senator Bernie Sanders just gave the best Israel-Palestine answer ever delivered by a serious contender in an American presidential debate," said Nichols.

Bernie's answer regarding Saudi Arabia and Iran as well.
I'm looking forward to a clip of that coming out.

(3,176 posts)4. Bernie deserves high marks...
" "It is no longer good enough for us simply to be pro-Israel. I am pro-Israel," Sanders said. "But we must treat the Palestinian people with the respect and dignity they deserve."
"What is going on in Gaza right now, where youth unemployment is 60, 70 percent, is unsustainable," Sanders added. "
...this why Bernie will be a great President as he tackles the hard pressing issues of our time...
...Bernie is first and foremost a great human being...he feels the pain and suffering of others and is willing to do something about it...
...a rare quality in today's crop of politicians...
