In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders and the kibbutz conundrum [View all]beam me up scottie
(57,349 posts)70. Anti-Semitic conspiracies to go with the links to Stormfront and tomatobubble?
Is anyone really surprised by this new "concern" for where Bernie was while he visited Israel?
He's been called "shifty Sanders", Israel's #1 shill, a "red Jew", had his loyalty questioned and accused of having his campaign funded by Israel.
It's their version of birtherism.
I expected this to happen eventually, at least they're done pretending they're not using dog whistle tactics.

Unless a person's head is buried in the sand, one can't miss him. MSNBC, CNN, CBS, etc.

If you read the articles it's the Jewish community who are most curious about this.

They could always ask Bernie. I doubt he did anything crazier than any of us other

Read the articles. Many people have asked with no response which is why it's such a mystery.

That is the question. Why would Bernie keep this a secret if it's not relevant?

Only for those creating a self-fulfilling prophecy predicated on circular arguments.

It was most surely pandering. Maybe also wanting to be a part of the group.

Both pandering to and just wanting to be part of that group are distasteful to me.
