Sanders really is hellbent in offloading all of the culpability for the genocide (though he denies that it's a genocide) solely onto Netanyahu.

This is my problem with it. He can do all the symbolic theatric shit he wants, but until he acknowledges what Israel is doing is genocidal then it just seems like a waste of time.

Yeah, at the end of the day he's just a liberal Zionist who thinks this kind of overt carnage is detrimental to the overall project of Israeli settler colonialism

My goodness. What is your point? Don't bother trying to help the Palestinian people if you don't say exactly the right things? You think he'd have an easier time getting support for the bill if he used the word genocide?

It must be nice to live a life of such luxury that you can care more about the phrasing than the actions.

You know, he is not wrong. That’s a bit like the bell curve meme. In the end it is Bibi who formed the government this way to stay in power and out of prison. It is his doing. And also the prolongation of hr war and spreading it to other areas of the ME. All a desperate move to stay out of prison
