Former presidential candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders spoke with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour this week and issued a warning: President Biden’s support of Israel could be his Vietnam.

“This may be Biden’s Vietnam,” Sanders said. “Lyndon Johnson … was a very good president domestically. He chose not to run because of opposition to his views in Vietnam. I worry very much that President Biden is putting himself in a position where he has alienated not just young people, but a lot of the Democratic base in terms of his views on Israel and this war.”

 
Sanders expressed support for anti-Israel protesters on college campuses across the country.
“They are out there not because they are pro-Hamas,” Sanders said. “They are out there because they are outraged by what the Israeli government is now doing in Gaza. They are out there for the right reasons to protest U.S. continued military aid and money to a right-wing extremist.”
The Vermont Senator also says he opposes any more money for Israel as long as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in charge.
“Israel has a right to go to war against Hamas,” Sanders said. “They do not have a right to go to war in the way they are, against the Palestinian people. The United States government has a right to say to Netanyahu, you’re not getting another nickel unless you let humanitarian aid go in, unless you stop the imminent famine… unless we move toward a two-state solution.”
