Senator Bernie Sanders decries influence of pro-Israel lobby groups on US politics

Sanders has slammed “lobbying groups like AIPAC [the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee] and Christians United for Israel [CUFI]” for using their considerable financial resources to advance “unquestioning support for Israel’s right-wing government”.

In remarks to a US think tank on Tuesday, Sanders said that AIPAC is expected to spend about $100m in a push to remove progressive candidates who have spoken in favour of Palestinian rights during the upcoming election cycle. “The message was clear: if you criticize Netanyahu, you will be targeted,” Sanders said, linking the influence of lobbying groups that promote the interests of governments such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to the larger issue of the role that money plays in US politics.

At least he is trying, but i hate how he makes hamas so evil and disgusting yet isreal which has been doing  Genocide for  3 months is just a fascist government.  

He's on a late night show, the late night hosts have had a political awakening and have been covering Trump non-stop since 2016, they're not educated on anything else and are incapable of anything besides making fun of Trump and interviewing the even less educated Hollywood figures. Their audience tends to be older people who grew up being brainwashed by the mainstream media that always had pro-Israel bias, Bernie couldn't have said what he said any other way to that specific audience. 

I still think it took him longer to speak out but here we are.
