Joining CBS' Face the Nation Sunday morning, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders (I) seemed to be reading from Hamas propaganda talking points while addressing the violence that's been carried out by terrorists against Israel amid his own opposition to U.S. support for Israel.
>>"All that I think is that given the incredible suffering in Gaza where we have a poverty rate of 56%, 70% of the young people are unemployed, and after the Israeli attacks you have wastewater plants destroyed, clinics destroyed, hospitals destroyed, I think the United States has got to develop an even-handed approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We have to be pro-Israel, but we have to be pro-Palestinian," Sanders said.
Surely Sanders knows that Hamas hides behind hospitals, schools, offices, and homes to launch their attacks—he just leaves that fact out along with the lengths to which Israel goes to warn innocent civilians and minimize any collateral damage in their successful strikes.
When asked how an "even-handed approach" works when dealing with terrorists who seek to destroy Israel, Sanders retreated to moral equivalencies. "You have Hamas, a terrorist group, you have a right-wing Israeli government, and the situation is getting worse," Sanders said. Apparently to Bernie, Hamas terrorists seeking to wipe Israel off the map are on a level field with the government of America's best ally in the Middle East.
>>"Hamas is a terrorist, corrupt, authoritarian group of people, and we've got to stand up to them," Sanders also said. "But once again, our job is not not simply to put more and more military support for Israel, it is to bring people together."
