calling Netanyahu out:

‘He Is a Disgusting Liar’: Bernie Sanders Rips Netanyahu and Israel’s ‘Racist Government’ - Mediaite

Sanders appeared on Tuesday’s edition of The Source on CNN, where he reiterated his call for the U.S. to stop the sale of offensive weapons to Israel.

Host Kaitlan Collins asked Sanders, “Senator, when you hear the Israeli prime minister saying there’s no starvation happening in Gaza, do you believe he’s lying?

Sanders replied:

Of course he’s lying. He is a disgusting liar. Israel had a right to defend itself from the terrible Hamas attack. But I think everybody understands that in the last [one] and a half years, they have been waging a brutal, horrific, almost unprecedented type of war, not just against Hamas, but against the Palestinian people.

So, you got an area territory there of 2.2 million people. They have already killed 60,000. They have injured 140,000, most of whom are women, children, and the elderly. They have virtually completely destroyed the entire infrastructure of Gaza, virtually all of the schools, the healthcare system, over 70% of the housing, the water system. And now, as you mentioned, over the last period of time, they have prevented humanitarian aid coming in. And there is now mass malnutrition and children are starving to death
