He is Jewish & lost family in the holocaust (basically most of his father's family).
I doubt it is easy for him to speak out about the current head of Israel, and he is brave to do so.
On this, like so many issues, Bernie is correct.

Clear, calm, factual, and absolutely correct. Excellent understanding of the situation and our responsibility.
Thank you!
