Thanks for the link, and it shows precisely that his position is very considered, difficult, and nuanced, which is as it should be on a morass like the situation in the middle east.
How’s a no-fly zone sound? Cuz if South Africa succeeds in it’s case against Israel, the UN charter compels member states (including the US) to take action to prevent genocide.
Correct. The record shows he hasn’t ask for a cease fire and should have done more early on. You are right, and don’t let the fandom of a political figure get in the way of the facts of a situation. I respect Bernie and that’s why I along with others needed him to stand against what’s happening.
Better late than never I guess.
If you followed the news, you would know that he has been critical of US support of Israel this entire time.
why no call for a ceasefire?
He did AFAIK.
He didn’t.
He still isn’t, in fact. I’d still like to see him officially change his position on a ceasefire but I’ll take defunding Israel as a compromise.

Being nuanced on the issue of genocide is disappointing.
Cutting funding does more to bring about a seize fire than just asking nicely
We shouldn’t ask nicely.

Defunding Israel is a good start, though.
If you followed the news you would know he refused to endorse the calls for a ceasefire. Very disappointing.
