Sanders: Netanyahu 'beholden to extreme racists in Israel'
(snip)
Given all of this, it is easy to understand why Netanyahu is credibly accused of war crimes by the International Criminal Court and the United Nations, Sanders said. He is beholden to extreme racists in Israel and has devoted his career to undermining the prospects for a two-state solution and lasting peace.
Sanderss statement comes in response to a video Netanyahu released Tuesday, in which the Israeli prime minister said he told U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken its inconceivable that the Biden administration has been withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel.
Sanders also slammed Netanyahus upcoming address to Congress in the statement, arguing the U.S. government should instead be withholding military aid to Israel and using its power to end the war.

So, to me, what is inconceivable is for the United Stats to give another nickel to the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government who is going to war against the, not just Hamas, but the entire Palestinian people, he said. Thats inconceivable.

(60,130 posts)*rump's son in law Jared Kushner; is an old family friend of Netanyahu.
What was all the shadow diplomacy about that netted Kushner almost 3 billion dollars of Saudi money to play with after they left office?
Even *rump's Secretary of State didn't know what Kushner was doing over there.
When we were attacked on January 6th *rump spent 3-4 hours watching it on T.V. (of course he instigated it) I don't know what Netanyahu was doing on October 7th but Israel's response to that attack was exceptionally slow.
I also believe this recent statement by Netanyahu was intended to give *rump a talking point just before our 1st Presidential debate, never mind that it has no merit, that doesn't matter to *rump and Netanyahu knows it.
Netanyahu will do whatever he can to aid *rump's attempt at coming back to power because he also knows that *rump doesn't give a flying fecal speck about democracy or corruption charges, both of which Bibi is also challenged at in Israel.
If *rump is successful at becoming a dictator Netanyahu most assuredly can as well.
