WASHINGTON, April 25, 2024 — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today released the following statement in response to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s claim yesterday that criticism of the Israeli government’s policies is antisemitic:
No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – seventy percent of whom are women and children.
It is not antisemitic to point out that your bombing has completely destroyed more than 221,000 housing units in Gaza, leaving more than one million people homeless – almost half the population.
It is not antisemitic to note that your government has obliterated Gaza’s civilian infrastructure – electricity, water, and sewage.
It is not antisemitic to realize that your government has annihilated Gaza’s health care system, knocking 26 hospitals out of service and killing more than 400 health care workers.
It is not antisemitic to condemn your government’s destruction of all of Gaza’s 12 universities and 56 of its schools, with hundreds more damaged, leaving 625,000 students with no education.
It is not antisemitic to agree with virtually every humanitarian organization in saying that your government, in violation of American law, has unreasonably blocked humanitarian aid coming into Gaza, creating the conditions in which hundreds of thousands of children face malnutrition and famine.
Mr. Netanyahu. Antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to many millions of people. But, please, do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government. Do not use antisemitism to deflect attention from the criminal indictment you are facing in the Israeli courts. It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable for your actions.
Senator Sanders is 100% correct. Israel's government is extremist and racist to the core! I am ashamed of our country's international reputation, in lieu of our government's shameful incompetence and gross negligence in so many areas. Our leaders should be greatly ashamed for sanctioning the genocide in Israel. Even worse, our nation's clergy couldn't care less. The one's that do are deceived Zionists who support apostate manmade Israel.
I thank God for faithful preachers like Pastor Chuck Baldwin, who in the following video justly condemns America's incompetent wicked clergy for not crying out against the genocide which has taken place in Gaza over the past several months with impunity.
It is tragic that over 95% of U.S. clergy today don't care about injustice. Tens of thousands of college kids across the United States are protesting in anger against the slaughter of the Palestinian people in Gaza. Since October 7th, 2023 Israel has brutally murdered 34,622 innocent people (70% of whom were defenseless woman and children). Benjamin Netanyahu is a monstrous war criminal who needs to be held accountable by the international courts for criminal genocide!
College Kids Are Putting Clergyman To Shame
Sadly, 99% of professed Christians today are like ostriches with their heads buried in a hole in the ground. Such wicked believers will one day give account to God in eternity for not doing their part to contend for the faith (Jude 1:3), for not standing against the evildoers (Psalms 94:16), and for not speaking up (Matthew 12:36). Well, I'm speaking up for God!!!
As a born-again Christian, I do NOT stand with the manmade extremist and racist nation of Israel, and shame on you if you do!
