Politico reported on Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ views about the Gaza War and the U.S. Presidential election:
It’s no secret that Sen. BERNIE SANDERS (I-Vt.) is not aligned with Biden on the Israel-Hamas war. “Privately, Sanders has felt less enthusiastic in recent days about making the political case on Biden’s behalf as the Gaza crisis worsened,”AP’s Seung Min Kim reports. But Sanders isn’t letting that get in the way of his support for the president: “I understand that a lot of people in this country are less than enthusiastic about Biden for a number of reasons and I get that. And I strongly disagree with him, especially on what’s going on in Gaza,” Sanders told the AP in an interview.
“But Sanders continued: ‘You have to have a certain maturity when you deal with politics and that is yes, you can disagree with somebody. That doesn’t mean you can vote for somebody else who could be the most dangerous person in American history, or not vote and allow that other guy to win.’

it is hard not to think about our experience in 1968. Students rightly pointed out the problem with involvement in Vietnam. Voters were given a choice between Humphrey, whose association with Johnson tainted any peace credentials he had, and Nixon, who is thought to have secretly assured Thieu he would get a better deal if he cut off talks with the North. Publicly, Nixon said he had a “secret plan” to end the war. We chose Nixon, and his secret plan was to widen the war.
The choice today is Biden who wishes he had someone different in Israel, and Trump, who has no policy except to take action that will make him more powerful.
we should take a lesson from history if we want any hope.

As usual, IMHO, Sanders is right on target, because it all comes down to this now:

Bernie always knows what he’s talking about and has an uncanny ability to predict people’s actions. He’s right again, I should think. I’m sorry to hear he believes the war will still continue come November.

Netanyahu needs the war to stay out of prison.
