1. Tzachi Negbi - idiot & demagogue. "Israelis don't ..
Rafi ,   US   (04.24.19)
...get involved in American politics"?

How about Netanyahu's blatant speech before US Congress in 2015 - without the consent of the US President?
2. To: Stanley Cohen from FB
Tc   (04.24.19)
I noticed that you can't stop mentioning this Sherry guy in all your comments.

Why are you so obsessed with him?
3. Face the facts: Democrats are enemies of Israel
David ,   New york   (04.24.19)
Particularly the left wing, which right now seems like it controls the party
Nothing you are going to do is going to make them like you
They hate Israel because it reminds them of America
4. Israelarabia is hardly a democracy
(04.24.19)
when millions of its inhabitants have been denied right to vote for 50+ years.
5. Not a joking matter
(04.24.19)
Because the U.S. gives Israel 3.8 billion a year it absolutely is the business of every American. There has traditionally been bi-partisan support, unquestioned. That is no longer the case, or weakened, in ways I have not seen before. It remains to be seen.

The bromance between Netanyahu and Trump with long standing policies tossed out and political re-payment with gifts, i.e. the Golan is making things worse. American and Israeli Jews may suffer the consequences. In any event, things have changrd. Jews in America traditionally may have criticized Israel in private, but never in public. Now we have groups, IfNotNow, JStreet, Jewish Voice for Peace no longer willing to support Israeli policies of expanded settlements and occupation. Trump can change the language all he wants, it doesn't change the reality. Israel cannot and should not be permitted to indefinitely occupy another people and simply take land it wants.

Creating an atmosphere where bipartisan support is dwindling, in the House we have 3 members questioning policies and money given with no accountability or rextriction, was unwise. We will see what happens.

In the meantime anti-semitism is rising in the diaspora. And the biggest Pro-Zionists seem to be Christians in the Trump base - and I question if they care are for Jews or Judaism, some Inunderstand have made anti-semitic comments. They have their own Biblical version they support, converting us. ProZionism does not automatically equate to pro Judaism. Even Anat Berko
has said, they may be antisemitic, but they are on our side (Israel) of some people Netanyahu is courting.

Some of the comments here are sickening. And arrogant. None of this is funny.
6. Americas Jews are concerned with themselves..
Al   (04.24.19)
They really never cared for Israel besides throwing them a bone from time to time.

Not too worry white Anerica is going down to be replaced with a brown black yellow America.

The Jews in America will have their lives turned upside down.

By that time Israel will be a world power.

Then well see who will need whom.

The American Jews glory days will have ended.

7. Has Bernie Sanders ever visited Israel that he is
barbara ,   Haifa   (04.24.19)
such an expert - anyway can't stand his accent.
8. Israeli Gov’t Not Racist?
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Raanana   (04.24.19)
Bernie is usually out of touch with reality. But what Bernie says isn’t wrong, nor can it be dismissed, just because it was Bernie who said it or anonymous trolls deny it. ‘Anonymous trolls say scholars say...’ is Fake News; NOT the same as basic logic or ‘actual identified authoritative persons’ statements documented’.

Not all racism is anti-Arabism. Right Wing teeters on the pivot of the Khareidi “king-maker” parties who, in return for their support on other matters, dictate religious matters with an iron fist--the tail that wags the sheep. Khareidim are irrefutably, indefensibly racist. Ergo, the Right Wing gov’t is, absolutely, racist.
9. no, it is not a joking matter
C   (04.24.19)
muslims are blowing up people worldwide, but sanders calls netanyahu
a racist.
the entire muslim world is incredibly racist, but sanders does not care.
sanders and the entire american establishment is foolish and hypocritical.
10. Is USA a democracy?
Mr.Reason ,   Berlin   (04.24.19)
At first let me tell you, idiot, I rather have a Jewish home which is less Democratic, than a '100%' democracy where Jews will be subdued yet again. Arabs have 22 countries, we have just one.

Secondary, before teaching Israel on democracy, take a look at your own 'democracy', with only 2 parties to choose from, illegal wars world wide, interference in foreign affairs, torture in Guantanamo Bay, millions Americans in privately owned prisons.

Thirdly, for the Israelis, who can not have enough LOVE from the dead kisser USA, this is just the beginning, if a Jewish Israel hater talked this way, what can you expect from the next generation of US politicians....

They are loosing the empire to a multipolar world, lead by Russia and China, and guess whom they will blame once it will become evident in the last corner of the wonna be hegemony. ...
11. Cynthia Morris - What did you learn in school
Stan ,   Israel   (04.24.19)
If 50% pay no income tax and 50% pay 97% of the income tax, WHO PAYS THE OTHER 3%??????????
12. "Sanders is running for President of the United States,
(04.24.19)
not for President of Israel." Absolutley correct, Porky, which is why he, as well as yourself, should keep his ignorant gob shut regarding Israeli politics.
13. m
moishe   (04.24.19)
Sanders means well but he won't admit he is a Jewish anti Semite.
14. He called ALL who voted Right racists not just him
DefendUsPlease!! ,   Jerusalem   (04.25.19)
Israeli Leftist Oost Zionist tv playing it up big as usual
15. Karl Marx also was a Jewish Socialist Anti Semite dejavu..
IdiotOrAntisemite?! ,   Jerusalem   (04.25.19)
