[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bernie states that fear of AIPAC is reason why his colleagues are afraid of speaking out on the starvation and atrocities in Gaza

“I happen to believe that what is going on in Gaza is horrific, that we are seeing children, right now as we speak, starving to death,”

US Senator Bernie Sanders on Thursday accused pro-Israel lobby groups, especially the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), of muzzling his Democratic colleagues’ criticisms of the war in Gaza by threatening to fund primary challenges against them.

I do not understand how some people can be so evil (AIPAC and its associates). It's truly mind boggling.  How are we even the same species?

This is how we roll now. If your party members don’t agree to fall in line. You threaten to primary them. Trump taught us that. [/quote]

One of our local politicians, Chris Van Hollen, broke rank with the party and has been condemning the starvation in Gaza. AIPAC is running a massive ad blitz targeting the senator.

“AIPAC has been running ads against me in Maryland for about a month. And you know what I say? Too bad... You're not going to persuade me to stop voting in a way that supports human rights.”

During his interview with Mehdi Hasan on Zeteo, Senator Chris Van Hollen also said:

"There's a huge inconsistency when people say that they want to fight for human rights and somehow leave out Palestinians."

"My view, at the end of the day, is it's really not worth being a member of the House or the Senate if you can't look yourself at the mirror in the end of the day."[/quote]

Van Hollen is a class act. I am so proud that he represents my district. [/quote]
