Kapo Sanders Strikes Again
By: Ginette Weiner
What do you call someone who crossed an ocean to campaign for a known Jew hater? Jeremy Corbyn, a British politician, former Leader of the Labour Party is an unapologetic antisemite. Self-proclaimed Socialist Bernie Sanders campaigned in the UK for Corbyn, a fellow Socialist who called Hamas and Hezbollah “my friends”, who openly associates with Holocaust deniers and peddlers of blood libels against Jews. Corbyn’s Jew hate was so beyond the pale, he was ousted because of it. UK’s distinguished Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks, “Corbyn is an anti-Semite who defiles our politics and demeans the country we love. Corbyn has given support to racists, terrorists and dealers of hate who want to kill Jews and remove Israel from the map.”
Sanders is a Socialist, first and foremost, a Jew in name only, who drags out his Holocaust family members only when he needs them, and only when confronted with giving out factually incorrect, misinformation or smears about Israel.
In 2014, as Hamas fired rockets on Israeli civilians, used their own children as human shields, as Hamas’ leaders openly stated this is an Islamic Jihad war against the Jews, we had Bernie Sanders, calling for an end to military aid to Israel, while Israeli children took refuge in bomb shelters. Sanders was then forced to issue retractions about his defamatory, false, ignorant claims about casualties in Gaza.

Algemeiner, 2023, “Progressive Democrats Demand Biden Conditions Aid to Israel.” This foul letter was organized by Bernie Sanders and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) & signed by the usual Israel bashing Squad. “14 progressive Democrats sent a letter to Biden condemning the Israeli gov’t…demanding Biden draft a plan to ensure that US aid to Israel is not used for human rights abuses…undertake a shift in US policy.”
And now, in 2026, Kapo Sanders strikes again. https://www.algemeiner.com/
Sanders: “Israel is waging an “all-out war of enormous destruction against the entire Palestinian people – in what experts have correctly concluded is a genocide.” There is no examination of who these “experts” are, nor any engagement with the legal standard for genocide, which requires demonstrable intent to destroy a people – not simply a civilian casualty figure deemed too high in the course of a war. Competing legal assessments are ignored.
Sanders: “These are not defensive weapons,” he argues. “They are the instruments of ethnic cleansing.” The same munitions Sanders condemns are standard in modern warfare and are used precisely because they allow for targeted strikes against the very fortified positions that Hamas operates from. Sanders’ case rests on accusation, omission, and a conspicuous refusal to engage with the realities of the war he is condemning. The result is not a serious policy argument, but a political one, built to persuade, not to withstand scrutiny. And that is what makes his argument fall apart. It is no surprise his Senate effort failed too.” by Rinat Harash
What constitutes genocide? JNS: Melanie Phillips, “Dismantle the United Nations”: “The claim of genocide is of course as ludicrous as it is grotesque. Genocide is the intentional annihilation of a people. That’s precisely what Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah openly and repeatedly declare is their aim in the planned eradication of Israel and the killing of every Jew. In defending itself against this mass slaughter, Israel has gone to unprecedented lengths to protect Gazan civilians by repeatedly moving them en masse out of harm’s way, allowing in thousands of tons of humanitarian aid. Despite these demonstrable facts, the United Nations has made feverish attempts to accuse Israel of the crimes being committed against the Jewish state.”
The Far (& not-so-far) Left, Socialists, Far Right, Islamists and Progressives are forming alliances. When giving speeches, running for office, “Israel has committed genocide” is now their obligatory, Brown Shirt Badge, spitting this out as “fact.” And on his Senate web page Sanders wrote: “Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.”
A Zionist is anyone who believes in the simple right of Israel to exist as a Jewish State. Period. Do you seriously think the global attacks on Zionists, on Jewish children and adults walking to their synagogue will stop if there is a “palestinian” state, if Israel is no longer a Jewish nation or simply no longer? If so, I have that same Brooklyn bridge for sale, the one offered throughout centuries to Jews who thought becoming a totally assimilated, global pluralist would keep them safe. And in case you don’t know, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is widely circulated, accepted as authentic, and is a best-seller, throughout the Middle East.
Only in the La La land of over and under-educated progressives does this truth go ignored: Israel’s Arab enemies are victims of their morally bankrupt choices, repeatedly rejecting every single fair peace offer, and then blaming Israel for all of their woes. Instead of building communities of peace and prosperity, sitting down, sweating out negotiations for peace and borders, and accepting Israel’s right to exist, instead they relentlessly vow to wipe Israel off the map, and then go after all Jews worldwide.
Sanders heavily supported and campaigned for Zohran Mamdani, NYC Mayor. Mamdani smears Israel as a “genocidal killer” who has “no right to exist as a Jewish State”, supports BDS, and gives platforms to Hamas supporters.
Bernie wants to paint himself as a champion of “victims.” His repeated calls for halts to, and conditions to, military aid to Israel for its self-defense from genocidal Jihad Islamic neighbors, traveling to the UK to support fellow Socialist and Jew hater Corbyn, and now, while Israel is reeling from burying its mutilated, burned alive dead, calling Israel a serious violator of international law, a genocidal killer, tells us he is anything but a champion of “victims.” Isn’t it time to oust this ill-informed hypocrite whose own words and actions belie any real knowledge of who is a true Victim and who is a true Oppressor?
