Douglas Murray defends Israel’s right to defeat its enemies
By Guy Page
Sen. Bernie Sanders this week condemned Iran’s Oct. 1 missile attack on Israel but also appeared to blame both Israel and Iran and their ‘extremist leaders’ for the conflict.
Sanders also said the U.S. must “forcefully demand an end to hostilities” through a “ceasefire for hostage deal.” Hamas invaded Israel last Oct. 7 and killed more than 2000 Israelis, and also took many hostages.
“I strongly condemn Iran’s massive missile attack on Israel. For months, leaders in Israel and Iran have chosen to escalate tensions rather than pursue diplomatic solutions. They have pushed us to the brink of a wider and more disastrous war. The U.S. must now forcefully demand an end to hostilities.
“A ceasefire for hostage deal remains the key to resolving the wider conflict. That could stop the escalatory cycle, end the bombing and the rocket attacks, and allow displaced people to return to their homes sooner. It is the only way to protect civilians, end the suffering of the Palestinian people, as well as ensure peace in the region and security for Israel.
“We must not allow extremist leaders in the Middle East to draw the United States into another horrific war in the region.”
The following is excerpted from Wikipedia: On October 1, Iran launched 181 ballistic missiles at targets in Israel in at least two waves, marking the largest attack during the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict. The missile attack was codenamed Operation True Promise (Persian: عملیات وعده صادق ۲) by Iran.
The attack triggered sirens across the country, with explosions reported overhead in multiple areas, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Several direct hits were reported at Israel’s Nevatim Airbase in the Negev. The missiles damaged several locations, including a school in Gedera and a restaurant in Tel Aviv. Two Israelis were lightly injured, while one Palestinian man was killed, and several Palestinians were injured by rocket debris in Jericho. Two Jordanian civilians were also injured by shrapnel.
Iran claimed the attack was in self-defense in retaliation for Israel’s assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on Iranian soil, as well as its assassinations of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian IRGC general Abbas Nilforoushan. Earlier in April of the same year, Israel had attacked Iran’s consulate in Damascus, followed by retaliatory strikes between the two nations.

Bernie is like the Iron Dome of politicians. You just can’t get anything past him.
It’s the occupied peoples, the indigenous peoples of the lands, who have the right to defend themselves by international law. Israel is a colonialist project of the West. They do not have the right to steal the land of the indigenous people, nor to fight back when attacked.
At what point in the past is the claim of being indigienous set?
Mary
Perhaps if you read the Bible(Old Testament ) you might learn that the Jews are indigenous to Israel in the land that God gave them. Christians know that Jesus, a Jew, was born and lived there. So called Palestinians are of Egyptian and other origin. And Islam didn’t come on the scene until long after Judaism (and Christianity) were established. Perhaps if you didn’t hate Jews and Israel so so much you could open your eyes to the truth.
are you presently living on someone else’s “indigenous land”, Mary?
Anybody Really care what Bernie has to say !
Sanders you’re over the hill old boy !
The so-called frustration with Israel by the Biden administration is wearing kind of thin. Israel is more like the instrument of the Administration’s policy than the Administration is of Israel’s. Bernie’s could as well direct his criticisms against himself and his pals in the Uniparty than against Iran and Netanyahu. The same is the case when he trumpets his blasts at Putin. In the case of the latter it’s clearly a case of jealousy, considering most Russians own their own homes, have good health care, child rearing subsidies, great schools and Armaments that are at least a decade more advanced than the US at a fraction of the price.
Maybe, Vermont’s barking Buffoon Jewish Bernard Sanders, should get on a plane and go over to Israel and tell them how they should handle this conflict, as we all know he has a great military mind and is a real negotiator………. Now that’s funny !!
Remember, you elected this buffoon to represent our state, he represents you on the world stage, we can do better, and this is the year to do it.
Wipe out their democrat-enabled nuclear capabilities Israel and do the entire world a favor.
So, Kathleen cast her vote for World War 3. Anyone else?
Hey Vermont !!! Are you ready to get rid of Bumbling Bernie or what?!
Let’s do this !!
Bernie, if they haven’t been able to get along since time began, what makes you think that they will now? Get real!
