Bernie Sanders: "Pretty Strong Right Wing Government" Coalition In Israel Includes "Overt Racists"
May 17 - SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: The Israeli government has evolved over the years into a pretty strong right-wing government, and their coalition now includes people who are overt racists.
And when you have the United States of America, Ali, putting almost $4 billion a year into Israel, we have the right to demand that they respect the human rights of all people, including the Palestinians.
What we need now is an even-handed policy that protects the security of Israel. They have a right to live in peace and security without terrorist attacks. But the people in the Palestinian territories also have a right to live in peace and dignity.
Anyone who takes a look at what's going on in Gaza right now, where youth unemployment is 70%, and I'm talking about before this current war and the terrible things that have happened in the war. Where youth unemployment is sky-high. Where people can't get electricity and clean water on a regular basis. This is a territory controlled by Israel. So we've got to deal with the corruption of the Palestinian authority. We've got to deal with that. But we have also got to create a situation where the people in the Palestinian territories are respected as well. quoted from

Bernie Sanders says US should reconsider foreign aid to Israel, which partially funds defense system
May 16 - As fighting between Israel and Hamas militants occurred for a week, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday called for a "hard look" into the billions of dollars in annual military aid that the United States provides to Israel.
"The devastation in Gaza is unconscionable. We must urge an immediate ceasefire. The killing of Palestinians and Israelis must end,” Sanders posted in a tweet Sunday. "We must also take a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to Israel. It is illegal to support human rights violations."
The devastation in Gaza is unconscionable. We must urge an immediate ceasefire. The killing of Palestinians and Israelis must end. We must also take a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to Israel. It is illegal for U.S. aid to support human rights violations.

Israel faces greater dangers than Hamas’s rockets
The shocking images of lynch mobs and street fighting between Arabs and Jews within Israel underscore the fact that the most formidable threat to the country is now internal.
May 17 - Israel and Hamas have taken to open warfare yet again. The sense of déjà vu, as the militant group’s rocket attacks on Israeli territory are met by retaliatory airstrikes in Gaza, is compounded by Western politicians repeating an old formula: “Israel has the right to defend itself.”
That’s undoubtedly true. And yet it’s equally clear that Israeli actions are unlikely to deter Hamas. Nor will re-establishing military superiority over a technologically primitive enemy obscure Israel’s new and acute vulnerabilities.
The shocking images of lynch mobs and street fighting between Arabs and Jews within Israel underscore the fact that the most formidable threat to the country’s present and future stability is now internal. About one in 5 Israelis are Arabs, the descendants of Palestinians who stayed in the country after the creation of Israel in 1948, and they have long been disaffected... more

Israel claims Gaza tunnels destroyed in heavy air strikes
May 17 - The Israeli military has unleashed a wave of heavy air strikes on the Gaza Strip, saying it destroyed nine miles of militant tunnels and the homes of nine alleged Hamas commanders.
Residents of Gaza who were awakened by the overnight barrage described it as the heaviest since the war began a week ago, and even more powerful than a wave of air strikes in Gaza City the day before that left 42 dead and flattened three buildings.
There was no immediate word on the casualties from the latest strikes. A three-storey building in Gaza City was heavily damaged, but residents said the military warned them 10 minutes before the strike and everyone cleared out. They said many of the air strikes hit nearby farmland... more
