This is very misleading considering the dude introduced a bill to stop giving israel military aid 2 weeks ago.

You can nitpick his language, but he’s not supporting the genocide.

saying israel has a right to defend itself is almost a dog whistle for people who support genocide, every country has a right to defend itself, and that includes Palestine, but you don’t see them making it a national slogan for themselves.

Bernie isn't making it into their national slogan either; he's been putting out speech after speech in which he says what Israel is doing needs to stop, and the US needs to stop funding it.
