READ IN FULL: Bernie Sanders' speech on Israel, Trump and antisemitism at J Street Conference – Haaretz 28.02.17
Blasts Trump for retreating from commitment to a two-state solution and not speaking out forcefully against antisemitism and bigotry. Says ‘particularly important’ for progressives to acknowledge the moral foundation of the Jewish state of Israel. Such acknowledgment does not contradict the need for an independent and ‘dignified’ Palestinian state. Includes video [33:33].
