What the fuck are you on? Bernie Sanders was making statements about the atrocity and asking for a complete cut off of US Finances and Weapons to Israel since the beginning of the conflict, and the ICJ hearing and ruling took place between January 24th and now.

This is a link to him speaking to congress months ago.

I haven't seen the interview you're referring to, if you're talking about that Twitter link then I don't use Twitter meaning I cannot actually see what the post is, so you're shit out of luck there, pal. I don't know what the date of it was or who was interviewing him, so finding on my own is gonna be pretty difficult. Please, enlighten me.

AFAIK he's called it many horrible things and described the awful events in great gory detail, and I've never heard him refuse to call it a genocide.

You can still watch the interview aka the context of the whole post, without an account. That's how I watched it. Here's a youtube link which was dropped today, 20 FEB 2024, and the bot below will provide plenty of privacy centric other links for which you don't need to visit the google site.

The central complaint about Bernie is he will not call for a permanent cease-fire. He will not call out the genocide. He won't go further than calling Israel's government "far right". He has protestors arrested.

I'm going to sound redundant but in the speech you linked to is exactly what I was talking about in the previous. Coaching languge. Steps towards. Only Israel has a right to defend. Sure sure atrocities humanitarian disaster on a scale worse than WW2. But yet no genocide. No cease fire. Just pauses. Very maybe-later-honey .
