The thing they aren’t doing is finding other Israel supporters who they are in lockstep on 90% of the issue and sending them death threats.

Bernie just forced a senate vote on cutting all funding to Israel. Dem leadership is probably pissed at him because this topic is much more of a wedge issue for democrats than republicans at a time when they want to keep the focus on Epstein. I still think he did the right thing because I do think Israel is committing horrific war crimes and now is the time to get legislators on record about it. I don’t understand how anyone with a passing relationship with US politics wouldn’t think he’s supporting Palestinians
