whats problematic about Sanders's stand is that he rejects the idea that what Israel is doing is genocide, while also condemning the violence.

I dont think many of us on this thread have opinions that disagree with each other.

edit: its also pretty damned problematic that he opposes BDS and signs legislation that tries to make it illegal.

I think what's more problematic is opposing BDS and opposing a one state solution

ugh, I wasnt aware he opposes BDS. He's clearly a bit of a douche where Israel is concerned.
