Sanders' Non-conformist Israel Message Casts Him as Boy in Emperor’s New Clothes

2. Bernie basically articulated the Obama administration position

I mentioned this in response to another similar post.

Bernie said that of course Israel has the right to defend itself and to live in peace and security without fear of terrorist attacks (He said this was not even up for debate). He repeated that Israel has "every right in the world to destroy terrorism." He said that he was "100 percent pro-Israel" and that the Palestinian people need to be treated with respect and dignity. He said that the US should work together with the rest of the world to help the Palestinian people.

Obama has made these same points and raised the same sorts of criticism and called for the same sort of assistance.
