      Seems pretty epicly pointless to try to force a vote against Israel’s interests in the US congress. It will be unanimously shot down, like every other bill that Israel has any interest in… Sanders know this. So why is he pretending a vote in congress is the big goal that we need to make noise about?

      Sanders wont even call the war on Palestine a genocide. If he wants to actually do something effective here he should be forcing AIPAC to be registered as a foreign lobby, like JFK tried to do right before he was assassinated. Otherwise Bernie is just wasting everyone’s time, and keeping the left busy yelling for a vote to happen that we have absolutely zero chance of winning.

      And if they do so be it, it’s just a consequence of our representational democracy, however, it is their decision.
