    You’re so fucking insane with this talking point bullshit. What bernie said is a sentence that stands alone, not everyone is some loser slurping media 24/7 and declaring literal fucking plain english as some uniquely constructed sentence with an exact connotation.

      “Israel has the right to defend itself” is a slogan and a trap.
      if you disagree, well you’re saying they should just let themselves be murdered?
      if you agree then people will act like you’re excusing anything they do while claiming self defense.
      if you, like sanders, take that sentence and qualify it, like they have a right to defend themselves but starving children isn’t self defense… well people won’t let you get past the first sentence….

          Person: ignores argument and tries to talk about something else

          You: “We need change the topic because you are right but this post is inconvenient to my narrative”
