Rest of the tweet text:

right before he trotted out this genocidal Zionist hasbara line that he learned from his days living on stolen land in Israel, Bernie Sanders angrily shouted, "UKRAINE DID NOT START THIS WAR! RUSSIA DID!" But the genocide was started by Palestinians. This is the Zionist monster Bernie Sanders is

I have said this before but it should be repeated often. I will never stop being ashamed of myself for having ever expressed any support for this disgusting genocidal Zionist scumbag Bernie Sanders. Never in my life. He is the personification of evil

imagine saying during the Holocaust: "Nazi Germany has the right to defend itself". Imagine saying that about Russia today. Bernie Sanders would smear you as an evil monster for saying that. But he says it about his precious Israel with such ecstatic glee

as his last political act before he dies Bernie Sanders decided to use all his political capital and the status he has as the supposed standard-bearer of the US left to launder his precious genocidal Israeli death-cult. Every single thing he say and does is calculated, designed and aimed at protecting his precious Israel by diverting the mass sentiment that only grows by the day against it toward nothingness, and blocking its mobilization into actual change in politics, as I detailed in these threads: https://x.com/zei_squirrel/status/1901640354232680932

No, you are not allowed to recognize the genocide.

No, you are not allowed to call for an actual arms embargo and sanctions on Israel.

No, you are not allowed to call Israel an apartheid regime.

No, you are not allowed to acknowledge the reality that Hamas has repeatedly offered diplomacy while Israel has been the genocidal aggressor long before Hamas even existed.

Bernie Sanders says no to all of that. And he uses his pseudo-radical rhetoric and credentials to destroy any movement that seeks to make these core pillars that are essential to stopping the ongoing genocide from becoming part of a mass movement and political project that can take power.

He is doing everything he can to salvage the Israeli death-cult as it is committing genocide. This is why Bernie Sanders is the personification of evil today.

Bonus tweet

in 2023, right as the genocide was reaching its most murderous levels, Bernie Sanders voted for a Senate Resolution condemning anti-genocide student protesters and organizations as "antisemitic, repugnant, and morally contemptible". He is directly responsible for the deportations

Insane to turn up to a rally where people are pissed off at trump to go on a rant about how awesome israel is.

As a non-American, it fucking blows my mind that Sanders is considered left wing. To me he is centre- right. His supposed left wing views are so fucking conservative that it’s laughable. I don’t even consider him “liberal “. He’s a right wing piece of shit, yet still the best that the US has to offer in a main stream politician.

Being even slightly left on any economic issues in Amerikkka makes you a socialist.

The original quote, if anyone's wondering:

I am a farmer ... Last spring I thought you really intended to do something for this country. Now I have given it all up. Henceforward I am swearing eternal vengeance on the financial barons and will do every single thing I can to bring about communism.

I didn’t know that Bernie lived in Israel at one point

I found this article about it from an apparently socialist Jewish outlet: https://forward.com/israel/332946/revealed-at-last-inside-the-kibbutz-where-bernie-sanders-lived-and-learned/

The Democratic Party’s socialist presidential candidate, it turns out, volunteered at Kibbutz Sha’ar HaAmakim, near Haifa in northern Israel, in 1963.

Now, the small agrarian commune could have a big influence on American politics as one spot where Sanders apparently sharpened his socialist ideals a half-century ago.

thonk

Ahhhh that makes 100% sense. Some Kibbutz settlers consider themselves "socialist" namely because they're tighter knit communities to your usual capitalist individualist societies. Turns out maintaining a racially-pure colony on the periphery of the state takes some collaboration.

Of course a settler colonist who enjoyed free healthcare and subsidised education whilst cosplaying socialism by sharing some sugar with his neighbours is gonna be treated like Lenin when he comes home.

~~Murray Bookchin should've shot him~~ Fuck sake thousands of bookchin memes eviscerated with one single article https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-attacks-on-israel-ignore-the-long-history-of-arab-conflict

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

A lot of time, Kibbutz are used as a exemplar model for how to do Socialism but a lot of people fails to mention that only 2% of them are actually coops and most of them are now privatized. A lot of the infrastructures of the Kibbutz are built by low paying Palestine labour.

The irony of Israel is that the Labour Zionists really put the Nationalist in their socialism as they are more racists compared to the Capitalist Israeli that tends to be more tolerant towards the Palestinians

Murray Bookchin

Wasn't he also a Zionist?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-attacks-on-israel-ignore-the-long-history-of-arab-conflict Oh god oh fuck

If I was to cope hard it would be that he's critical of the idea that the Arab nations were coming to the aid of Arab Palestinians in 1948 and onwards, to the point of calling them imperialists. And he also seemed to suggest a unitary confederation of Arabs and Jews, not unlike post-apartheid Africa. Being 1986 it predates a lot of the horrors.

But this is cope that disappears into total "good god shut the fuck up bro" the more you read.


Even so, he still naiively clings to the idea that Israelis were not interested in genocide of Arabs simply because they allowed the ones who didnt fight back to live as second class citizens.

He outright ignores Israeli massacres of Arabs but mentions massacres committed by Arab forces in 1948, despite both being well documented by that point.

Most egregious is that he echoes the "Grand Mufti of Jerusalem" myth that was also used by Netanyahu as ""evidence"" of Arab Naziism.


Yeah dude drank the koolaid fuck sakeeee. I still think the contents of social ecology and communalism are worth consuming but yeah I'm gonna back away from namedropping him as much lmao

Who's the best anti-imperialist anarchist theorist, since Bookchin was a repulsive zionist?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

bookchin also kind of has a lot of white eurocentrism going on, like sometimes he makes good points but I can't stand reading him

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Abdullah Öçalan kinda skirts that line depending on how you want to classify his work.

Bernie Sanders angrily shouted, "UKRAINE DID NOT START THIS WAR! RUSSIA DID!"

How does the ”i support Palestine and Ukraine” coupe with fact that all mainstream Ukraine supporters are rabid Zionists

Objectively the standard wing of fascism.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 3 days ago

Yupppppp. He's looking more and more like controlled opposition. A release valve to stifle leftwing dissent that may arise from within the Democratic party and funnel them into accepting the status quo. And at the end of it all, he and the rest of the party all support a settler-colonialist project to maintain control over the region.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is he getting booed at rallies when he saids this shit?

That's why they're there. The people still following Bernie Sanders aren't engaging with the current reality. They're still watching Jon Stewart and anything else that doesn't force them to do anything but say vote

He was hiding his power levels during the election...they were much lower.

I want my $27 back (and the time I spent volunteering for his campaign in 2020).

Same.

Considering 100,000 butcher reservists have stopped showing up, not even the zionist stormtroopers agree with Sanders and his soft-fascism

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 days ago

If you had told me 10 years ago that this guy would be on my adventure-time list I'd have called you a liar. How things change.
