But it is what it is, another player in the region reaching for power feeding of people's justified desire for revenge.

Armed struggle for the liberation of a people is not "revenge". This is akin to calling Nelson Mandela a vengeful evil man.

Bernie has compromised on far too much to be compromised with. The fact that he is still supporting Israel to this very day says enough.
