Even democratically-elected officials can commit war crimes. We cannot apply international law only when it’s convenient.

9. Bernie loves Israel - he worked on a Kibbutz there when he was young

He is Jewish & lost family in the holocaust (basically most of his father's family).

I doubt it is easy for him to speak out about the current head of Israel, and he is brave to do so.

On this, like so many issues, Bernie is correct.
