I think you’re right that Bernie was late. He has been criticized for decades for being weak on Palestine. He wouldnt say the word “ceasefire” until the Democratic Party gave him permission.
But please look at the bigger picture. The movement for Palestinian liberation needs numbers and we need solidarity. Bernie may be “late” but hes on the right side of history. Everyone who joins the movement today is “late” but we can’t afford to turn them away.
And let’s be honest, Bernie is the best Senator of our lifetimes (so far). No other Senator is giving such powerful pro-Palestinian speeches. The Senate floor would be so much darker and more evil without this one man’s voice.
