I’m far less concerned with his comments about Israel compared to a lot on the left who were just waiting for him to say something they could deem a ‘red line’, this doubly true considering he himself told Greenwald he could be wrong to the point Glenn gave a rather gushing take about believing him and believing in him. That’s all besides the point, I think what’s more important is his actual foreign policy, other than stopping Ukraine vs Russia, he wants to shutdown 800 military bases. Even if he doesn’t consider Israel one of those military bases, him closing the others would go a long way towards decreasing the militaristic violence it’s consumed by. Taking that into consideration I just don’t see why his ability to virtue signal about Israel matters when we are talking about demilitarizing the west all together. RFK Jr fought all through covid and I don’t expect him to give up after becoming president, it’s rather absurd on the face of it. And as a side note, he has met with and been campaigning to have California release the Palestinian convicted of killing his father, and like with many of his other battles, he’s taken a position at odds with many of his most vocal family members and at odds with the power consensus. I can’t imagine a cowardly warmonger like Sanders doing anything like that for someone, forget Sanders feeling any kind of responsibility or moral duty to take any of RFK Jr’s other positions. Bernie will probably come out attacking him as “Putin’s puppet” for advocating for peace ffs.
