“We were at a village that Israeli settlers had destroyed, they had destroyed the school, they had destroyed that village, and we were just looking at it,” said Khanna, a progressive lawmaker from California in the U.S. House of Representatives.
“And these hoodlums come in with machine guns – M4, an American-made machine gun – and they detain us. They block off the road. And then they call the IDF and the IDF is on their side, not on the side of the Americans,” Khanna said, referring to the Israeli military.
An aide to Khanna who was in the group, Cameron Kasky, said they were held for more than an hour and made appeals to the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem for help. A group of officers who appeared to be police eventually intervened, leading to their release, Kasky said.
No Bernie is a hardcore Zionist.

Maybe, but I dont know about hardcore. I have literally watched him vote against Zionist legislation before on the most boring TV channel. I suppose it could have been strategic voting that he had foreknowledge that would make his vote irrelevant, but I also have heard at at least some calls against occupation from him, as well.
I dont particularly love or hate the man, though he does seem to have some sort of principles that he’s stuck to longer than I’ve lived. That makes him way above average for a politician in this country. We have to grade on the curve over here, since our national politics is a clown show in a media circus.
No, no you really don’t. Stop being so god damn tame.
Can you provide any material suggestions?
No i mean actual hardcore. He only opposes some offensive weapons to stop Israel from committing genocide but he fully supports defending the genocidal Apartheid against retaliation.
He also opposes BDS and other measures to oppose Israel.
So, basically same as Khanna.
No Khanna doesn’t oppose BDS nor is ideologically attched to Israel.
Bernie was an Israeli colonists in his past.
