Not to be petulant at a time like this for Palestinians, but if you call yourself a leftist & continue to support Bernie Sanders, knowing he supports Israel in its monstrous pogroms against Palestinians (& if he does not speak out vehemently against what’s going on, he supports it), you’re either a François Hollande-Hosni Mubarak kind of socialist, possibly completely stupid, or hopelessly unprincipled. There’s no nice way to say that. Sometimes the truth is ugly. And by the way, shame on you.
