Stephen Lendman – Differences between them are stark – Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein a true populist, Sanders one in name only.
His business as usual voting record belies his call for revolutionary change – favoring old wine in new bottles, grand deception, longstanding Sanders practice.
He’s a con man, part of the dirty system like all other duopoly power candidates. Otherwise he wouldn’t be major party presidential material.
They all march to the same drummer, campaign promises made to be broken. The trouble with Sanders is he’s like all the rest, a walking talking conflict of interest.
His sole redeeming quality is he’s no Hillary Clinton, the most recklessly dangerous US presidential aspirant in memory. Don’t let her gender fool you.
Sanders’ support for Israel’s killing machine is especially troubling. He backed its premeditated summer 2014 naked aggression on Gaza – based on Big Lies.
During an August 2014 town hall meeting, he shamelessly defended its genocidal slaughter, telling a Palestinian supporter to “shut up.”
He blames Hamas for Israeli high crimes. He voted for Senate legislation, calling on the UN to rescind the Goldstone report – exposing Israel’s December 2008-January 2009 naked aggression on Gaza.
He opposes Palestinian statehood based on pre-June 1967 borders – 22% of historic Palestine.
