        Oh that’s cute he did a safety vote but it took the ICJ ruling for him to move.

        So that means he understands the ICJ ruling and it’s implication. Yet he continues to deny there is an ongoing genocide. He speaks of how terrible things are, but he won’t say permanent ceasefire and he won’t say genocide. He says a “pause in the fighting” and there are “really horrible things” going on. He won’t call it a genocide.

        He says, correctly so, we are all complicit with funding and arming what is going on. Speeches he should have made months ago, but could only make with the cover of the ICJ ruling. Why did it take that?

        He is still unable to call out Bibi and the Likud for being textbook genocidal ethnofascists. He soft gloves them as “far right”. He uses harsher language against Trump.

        He continues to parrot “Israel has a right to defend” and “Hamas bad” tirade where “defense” means wholesale leveling of residential areas with a side of taking pop shots at kids getting water and ladies in churches. Everything the song laments about liberals Bernie parrots.

        Put yourself in Bernie’s place in that interview. Would you answer the same? Would you willfully refuse to call it a genocide?
