You know, my plan when Bernie eventually dies, was to not exactly celebrate; but more to reflect that, yeah even though he ended up being a liberal Zionist piece of shit I respect the fact that he started something that got many of us on the pipeline.
But fuck that, now I will be doing crab dances when he dies and piss on his grave.
IDK tbf Bernie didn’t really go in on Sinwar. OK he said he’s dead that’s true.
He does call them “1200 innocent people” ok that’s just false if they’re an occupying military. But also he doesn’t say Sinwar killed them. If ever a time for the passive “died” was called for it would be have been then, considering it seems like most non-military deaths were probably from the IDF themselves. We’ll never know exact numbers. Thankfully doesn’t blame the palestinian deaths on him which is peak lib genocide apologia. At least he’s trying to use it to end the war but naively thinks shit like this will work. Zionists don’t want an offramp bernie they are true believers. this is what zionism is.
History will show Sinwar was a hero. And history will show Bernie had a good heart but was a coward who should’ve broken with the Democratic Party but didn’t have the guts, and always was wrong and had a blind spot about Israel and foreign policy in general.
I’m sorry but this is just wishful thinking and active whitewashing, sure he doesn’t say Sinwar individually killed 1,200 “innocents”, but he says Sinwar masterminded the attack that killed 1,200 “innocents.”
The only way history will show that Bernie had a good heart is if someone donates him a new one, where is the good heart in calling IOF soldiers innocents? He is treating Israelis as ontologically innocent.
Imagine a German in the riechstag who argued “hey we exterminated enough Untermensch now that we killed Kirponos (or if they had killed Medvedev) and avenged all those innocent christan babies the Jews sacrifice and all the people they betrayed in WW1. The Soviets, who are singularly responsible for us losing WW1, are now killed and we are no longer defending ourselves if we keep killing these people who our murder of was totally in response to their evil actions” being remembered as a good hearted person who was a coward and had a blind spot?
Nah fuck him. Hell imagine a self-proclaimed socialist during the Vietnam war celebrating Ho Chi Minh’s death and saying “look the evil man who attacked the innocent south is dead, all of that justified napalm is now not ok”. It is depraved. This is a Holocaust, and that cannot ever be a “blind-spot”, that is just being a fascist genocidaire.
He doesn’t need to make a statement, but he is because he thinks this will convince people to vote Harris, that there is some slowdown to the genocide that will happen. This merely obfuscates and gives cover for extermination. Bernie is actively involved in this slaughter and in laundering it to us. This is who he is and what he believes, he fundamentally does not see Palestinians are equally valuable
