Bernie Sanders, a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
Unfortunately Sanders is a darling of AIPAC. (The American Israel Public Affairs Committee) And when he isn’t telling constituents to shut up when they ask about Israel, he is openly supporting military genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine
During WW2, Iran welcomed thousands of Polish refugees.
We who care about freedom… are all Iranians today.

To personalize this for a moment, imagine a bully sitting on a smaller child, and every time someone objects to the fact that the bully is beating the smaller child with an iron rod, the bully exclaims, “Well, he tried to slap me, so I was forced to defend myself.” No, you can’t claim that you’re beating the smaller child with an iron rod in self-defense, especially when you can end the entire confrontation simply by getting off him. Back to the political reality, Norman Finkelstein put it best: “The refrain that Israel has the right to self-defense is a red herring: the real question is, does Israel have the right to use force to maintain an illegal occupation? The answer is no.”
US Abandons Troop Reductions in Afghanistan
The Obama administration is dropping its plans to reduce the amount of U.S. forces in Afghanistan to 5,500 by the end of the year, significantly altering the timeline which officials had said would see troops largely withdraw from the country by 2016, according to reports.
What’s up With the White House?
“Waging state terror worldwide. At home and abroad. Big Brother is real. Watching everyone. With technological ease. Trampling on fundamental rights. Leaving no one safe anywhere. Threatening free speech. A free press. Free thought. Intellectual inquiry.”
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are not quite progressive…
Sanders joined Barbara Lee and John Conyers to vote for HR 282, the Iran Freedom Support Act — which bears a striking resemblance to the resolutions that set up the framework for the war on Iraq.
