    “Violating international law” is pretty sterile/soft verbiage for fucking war crimes.

        What do you mean? Jewish politicians are the only ones allowed to even mildly criticize Israel, because anti-semitism claims against them are taken slightly less seriously.

          Spot on. Bernie has been called an anti-Semite before, he will probably be called one again for this and I’m sure it won’t be the last time he is called one.

      It’s also funny because he also denounced Hamas’ attack even though resisting a military occupation/blockade is allowed by international law.

      • He denounced specific parts of the attack. The section of international law that explicitly allows violent resistance to a military occupation or blockade doesn’t exempt the resistors from the rest of international law. The IDF/Israel and Hamas have the same obligations under international law(s).
