1. HEY, BERNIE! YOU SHOULD WATCH HOW THEY TREAT EACH OTEHR
IRANIAN JEW ,   LALA LAND   (04.23.19)
You are worried about a society that is just waiting to explode on any given minute. If PALIS stopped following their dumb leaders and really came to the table to make peace then average Israelis would care for your comments. You are looking for the Jewish and the Muslim votes anyway. Your statement is true, but if IDF loosens up the grip then you will have buses exploding in no time.

2. Should he be chosen as the democratic nominee
Al   (04.23.19)
The dumb American Jews will still vote for him.

The Jews of America are not friends of Israel.
As such I couldn't care less as to their fate.

The same can be said for the Jews of Canada.

These Jews are too rich too smug to think of anyone else but themselves.

They care only for themselves.

They may send a few dollars to Israel but when push comes to shove the only Jews the Jews of Israel can depend on is themselves.
3. Well said Bernie!
Tc   (04.23.19)
4. This guy...total POS....
Get Out ,   HST   (04.23.19)
Hey American Dems, please run this fool in 2020. You will insure a second Trump term. You clowns.

MAGA.
5. Sanders just another naive leftist.
Sam ,   Montreal   (04.23.19)
Assumes that those poor Palestinians just want peace and Israel not fair to them when all Palestinians want is to destroy Israel. Naive, dumb leftists.
6. Jewish? In Poland he said" I'm Polish" to amazed inhabitants
ab   (04.23.19)
of the small town his family came from and where Jews were murdered possibly with help of local Poles
7. Sanders is a socialist who supports America's enemies
C   (04.23.19)
the united states has fought to liberate kuwait, armed islamists in
afghanistan, is allied with all gulf nations and with egypt, and most
of north africa.
obama and the us democrats supported and still support genocidal
iran whose leadership has vowed to annihilate sovereign israel.
socialists like sanders support hamas an islamic terror group
that has also vowed to annihilate sovereign israel.
sanders would be a catastrophe for america as well as for israel.
8. The Rattlesnake is rattling his shekels
Adam Bennett ,   California   (04.23.19)
In today's political climate in America that is probably the worst thing you can about another person. Thanks Bernie for elevating Jew-to-Jew discourse.
9. Ms
Miriam ,   Jerusalem   (04.23.19)
The man is a well-meaning fool (giving him the benefit of the doubt), but he will cause a lot of problems. I don't approve of Israel's present government either but don't agree with Bernie's conclusions.
10. BERNIE AND BIBI
NEW YORKER ,   NEW JOYSEY   (04.23.19)
Prime Minister Netanyahu is not perfect ,nor has he ever claimed to be poyfect, but he has done ,and indeed each day does his best for his country Israel and therefore deserves a lot of respect. Netanyahu has helped keep millions of his citizens safe and secure and he may be many things ,but racist is not one of those things.
11. Sanders just called 70% of Israeli Jews "racists" ..Dementia
IsHeOnDrugs? ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.23.19)
obviously not taking his pills ..dementia has definitely set in
12. The "Gucci shoed NY liberals" must be trembling
CarefulWhatUwish4 ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.23.19)
The slavishly Democratic Jews of NY and elsewhere there must be
trembling in their Gucci shoes and for sure behind the curtain will
vote against him what hypocrites
13. Not Netanyahu only, most of Israelis are racist
Martin ,   Berlin   (04.23.19)
Punkt
14. Sanders you know nothing about racism
Ezekiel Haim ,   London   (04.23.19)
You grew up with silver spoon in your mouth in America.You are an ignorant old idealist well gone past his time.You should go and live in an Arab country like Iraq and then you will wisen up to what racism is.Stop abusing the Israeli prime minister and Israeli citizens who voted for him.You are a blatant hypocrite and you very well know it.Stop harming Jews by declaring Netanyhu is a racist .You are fuelling antisemitism all over the world you shmuck.Just shut you gob and retire.You are well past it and not going to win any political race.Save the Jews of the world from your bullshit.
15. 100% pro Israel.But with a Jewish or Arab majority,Bernie?
Alan ,   SA   (04.23.19)
16. Jews racist? Yet they cannot pray on the Temple Mount
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (04.23.19)
Bernie, why are Jews denied the basic human right of being allowed to pray on the Temple Mount. Isn’t that racist?
In Vermont anyone can own property if they can pay for it. Yet Jews cannot buy land in their holy land without being eligible to be murdered. Isn’t that racist?
17. Self hating Jew
douglas klein   (04.23.19)
How do we get rid of this self hating Jew already the commie just doesn't give it up.....
18. Proof that being Born Jewish doesn’t mean a thing
David ,   New york   (04.23.19)
Sanders would be even worse that Obama was to Israel
He was born Jewish
Great
He says he “supports Israel 100%”
Means not a thing
(Generally anyone who says that is not exactly a friend of Israel)

Stay far away from this Trotsky
19. Research needed to discover that faulty Jewish gene
(04.23.19)
responsible for self-hating behavior. Yo Bernie: will you donate your brain for that?
