Bernie Sanders' speech on Israel, Trump and anti-Semitism at J Street Conference

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders

Today I gave a speech about the decades-long conflict in the Middle East, which has taken so much from so many. Nobody gains when Israel spends an enormous part of its budget on the military. Nobody gains when Gaza is obliterated and thousands are killed, wounded, or made homeless. Nobody gains when children are trained to be suicide bombers. Nobody gains when year after year, decade after decade, the talk is about war and hatred rather than peace and development.

Please take a moment to read my full remarks on this important subject.
