It's up to the Palestinians and Israelis to Choose Their Leaders

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “Hamas & Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu must go!”- CBS News.

Hey, the good Senator was half-right. The Senator from Maine did not go to the heart of pressing issues. Sen. Bernie Sanders should stop the bleeding in Gaza first by calling for:

  1. A permanent ceasefire.
  2. The IDF out Gaza.
  3. “All for All” hostage deal. Meaning, free all 135 hostages, and ALL 12,000 Palestinian political prisoners.
  4. Rebuild Gaza.

After all, where has Sen. Sanders been for the last 6 months? Israel has bombed Gaza to smithereens and 85% of the Strip is destroyed and is uninhabitable.

Finally, I do agree with Sen. that it is long overdue for Crime Minister to go. But Hamas? Give me a freaking break! Hamas is a freedom liberation organization who has been fighting for the last 6 month as brave as mongooses to defend the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

That is without food or water and by using homemade ammunition.

To Hamas or Jihad fighters, the people of Gaza are their parents, wives, sons, brothers and sisters. Those are freedom fighters, not a bunch of mercenaries. If they were not in Gaza, the IOF would have committed far worse crime than they already did. Those courageous fighters will not bow their heads or bend their knees except for Almighty God. Their logo is: “It’s jihad until either victory or martyrdom”.

After all, it should be up to the Palestinian and Israeli people to choose their own leaders, not Sen. Sanders or Joe Blow.
