I find it totally remarkable that Bernie took the stand he did vis a vis Israel
and Palenstinians. He is a politician but a brave one nonetheless.
And note during the debate he noted he once wlived in Israel in a Kibbutz.
He is holding out an olive branch and he is talking about the dignity and right
of Palestinians to exist with dignity too as well as Jews in the promised land.
He is talking about sharing. It is as simple as that and I cannot argue with
that point of view.
And again the more remarkable is that he, Bernie is a Brooklyn born Jew who
lived in the promised land once upon a time.
Again Bernie's message is quite simple and yet profound at the same time. It
isn't dialetical communism. It isn't this or that. It is simply this: "Kids
share your toys."
And in this case: "Kids share the land."
Personally I don't have a stake in sharing parts of desert and rocks. But I
once again find his approach refreshing, and remarkable and more than ironic.
Good on Bernie for this bravery!
Good on him!!!

Carl,
The twenty seven thousand people were in the Washington Square Park
which is in Greenwich Village, (downtown Manhattan). I listened to a
video of Spike Lee and The actress, something Dawson, and then
Bernie. Although Bernie generally gives the same speech, different
issues are emphasized in different places and new issues tend to be
added. He has started talking much more about the Israeli mistreatment
of Palestinians and illegal settlements in the West Bank than he did
before. Even though what he is taking is a liberal pro Israel
position, and it is in my opinion and that of many people, inadequate
at this point, it is a truly brave and radical position to take. Not
one other politician has been willing to say publicly that Israel is
doing something wrong or to ssay that what Israel did in Gaza in 2014
was disproportionate. But he's walking on a tight rope and, for
example, after hiring a young Jewish liberal activist to handle the
Israel/Palestine issue, he suspended her when he got to New York
because she'd written some tweets that, I suppose, the campaign was
afraid would alienate New York Jewish voters.
The problem is that the Democratic Party insiders can't allow Bernie
to win the nomination because that would mean that the party might
really have to begin to change how it operates. It's an institution
based on receiving lots of money from lobbyists and doing the bidding
of the corporations and banks who hire those lobbyists. And there are
all the other organizations that are tied in with the party in one way
or another. It's a whole system, and it's all supported by the mass
media. Obama was willing to front for them in order to be the first
Black President. But Sanders is a very different kettle of fish.

Miriam,
I heard that Bernie had some 27 thousand supporters at his last
rally...was it in Brooklyn?
I did hear what turned out to be a non information cat and dog fight
on Democracy Now, this morning. I began by assuming my neutral brain
position.
Robert Sheer made some good points in the beginning. When I first
heard the woman...I can't recall her name...I thought she sounded
reasonable and very intelligent. But she began sounding as if she
were talking down to Robert Sheer, also a very bright guy, and
sounding as if she were smirking at some of his points. When he
talked about Clinton's past positions, she glibly brushed them aside,
saying that this was ancient history and we needed to come into the
present and move forward. I may have not put down her exact words,
but that was the sense of it.
And then she put down Sanders because he has preached the same message
for
40 years, and in addition he has little to show in the way of
sponsored legislation.
In her mind, this made Clinton the better candidate because she was
flexible and kept up with the current trends. Again, my words.
But Sanders 40 years of beating the same drum is exactly why I think
he might provide some leadership, rather than providing some "followership".
And when a congressman is consistent in putting forward legislation
that challenges the Establishment, of course he is not going to have a
huge portfolio of successful bills. Anyway, before they fell apart,
which turned me off, the Clinton Lady was making some really great
points...for Bernie.
This thing of everybody talking and shouting over one another is not
conductive to stimulating my brain. Thom Hartman does some of this on
his RT-TV Program. He calls it the "Ramble". I call it, "Time to
change channels".
So Amy Goodman is on a 100 city tour, celebrating democracy now's 20
years of broadcasting. I really appreciate her work, and that of
Alternative Radio and Thom Hartman, and others who offer thoughtful
programming. It's rather pleasant being treated like intelligent
adults, rather than the insulting approach the commercial media seems
to feel is all we can handle.

listening to it. That debate, which turned into a real argument,
between Robert Sheer and the Clinton supporter is illustrative of the
real split in the Democratic party right now. What most distressed
me, was her repeated smug statement that Clinton is going to win the
Presidency and that we need to just accept this and do as much as we
can to, as she put it, move things along. She sees Bernie as an
inferior candidate because he's had the same message for 40 years and
because, she says, he never accomplished anything in congress. The
point is that he hasn't joined the club and played by the rules and
done all the compromising, I suppose. From the point of view of the
political class, he's an outsider. And given the political machine
in New York, it will be a miracle if he wins the state. Schumer sent
out an email yesterday, saying that he prefers Hillary and asking us,
the voters, to tell him what issues are important to us, he provided
a list and economic inequality and everlasting war were not on it,
and asking us whom we planned to vote for. Yesterday, WNYC had a
political reporter talking about how inconsequential Bernie is.
Whatever else Bernie is, he must be very brave and dedicated to go
through all of this.

You point out a very real problem. And I am guilty of doing it, too.
I hear something that jumps out at me, or I hear the reaction of
someone else who is reacting to a point, and I blow it out of
proportion. But having said that, I do believe Bernie and Jane will
vote for Hillary because they believe that the System can be made to
bring relief to the working people. My thinking is that all we can
do is to put off the inevitable. I can vote for Sanders, even
knowing this, because he will try to do right for the working folks on many
basic issues. But Clinton is not being straight with the people.
She will turn her back on the workers when she has to pick between
the People or the Empire.
While I have swung to and fro in this political wind, I am more and
more convinced that a vote for Clinton is a vote against the working
class. I know some who would say that this is equally true with a
vote for Sanders., but as I've said before, I will not invest any
more of myself in the Empire's government. That might not be a
satisfactory answer, but it is what it is.

All of the reporting on it, the analyzing, I think that it all
distorts what people originally say and the meaning of what they say.
For example, if you listen to Bernie's interview with the editorial
board of the Daily News, the meaning of his answers seems very
different than it does when reported because a lot is taken out of
context. And both campaigns are doing all they can to whip up
support for their candidates so in that process, a lot gets distorted also.

for party unity, and missing her family.

Mrs. Sanders, in an interview with The Daily Beast on Wednesday,
said they would hope Bernie's supporters would follow their lead.
Conversely, if Bernie Sanders secured the nomination, Mrs. Sanders
said she hoped Clinton and her supporters would support him.
In a wide-ranging, candid interview, Mrs. Sanders also said the
superdelegate system-currently weighted significantly in Clinton's
favor-was unfair, yet predicted that she is hopeful that a number
of those superdelegates, and their thousands of votes, could be
convinced to switch their support from Clinton to her husband.
The Daily Beast spoke to Mrs. Sanders with just hours to go before
Bernie Sanders's rally in New York's Washington Square, and just a
week until New York Democrats pick a primary winner.
"I know Donald Trump has complained about the system," Mrs. Sanders
said.
"We're not going to complain about it. We knew the rules going in.
We don't like the rules. We don't think it's good for democracy. I
think it's crazy that in New York anybody who wanted to vote for
Bernie had to make a change last October to say they were in the
Democratic Party. Anybody who is independent cannot vote."
Mrs. Sanders said her husband's campaign was "trying to
reinvigorate the party and we are. We are bringing many, many more
people in across the country and yet in New York they're slamming
the door on those people. They can't have a voice. That seems
counterproductive to what the Democratic Party wants to accomplish

of the vote that a candidate needs to become the nominee. How fair
is that? I am a voter. I have one vote, yet you're a superdelegate
and count for thousands and thousands of votes. That doesn't make
any sense at all. 'One person, one vote' is what democracy is
supposed to be about."
The "rigging" claims did not "make sense," Mrs. Sanders said.
"In 2008, many superdelegates had signed up for Hillary Clinton,
very early, before Barack Obama."
The same was true this year, though this time the opponent was
Bernie Sanders, she said.
"In the end in 2008, the superdelegates moved to Barack Obama. This
year, the superdelegates have not been counted yet, their votes
have not been cast. Some are saying now they support Hillary Clinton.

they are looking at what is happening in this race-that he [Bernie
Sanders] has won eight of the nine most recent races, that he has
far better polling numbers against all the Republicans, that he can
get not just Democrats but Independents.
"Even in his last Senate race, 25 percent of Republicans in our
state voted for him-and we can do that nationally as well. He's in
a much better position to be the Democratic Party candidate.
Superdelegates will make up their minds. It has nothing to do with
rigging, but it could happen just like it happened in 2008."
On the more rancorous exchanges between the Sanders and Clinton
campaigns, Mrs. Sanders said, "I think if you compare it to the
Republicans it's nothing. I think it's been difficult for us to
have distortions of the record, when really what we want to focus
on is a clear choice between the two candidates."
For Mrs. Sanders, "there is a stark difference" between her husband
and Hillary Clinton, "in a number of areas. That's what we should
be talking about, that's good for democracy, that's what people
need to
When asked if she ever advised her husband to moderate his tone, Mrs.Clinton back then."
Sanders said he was being criticized over a statement he made in
response to the Clinton strategy to "disqualify and defeat" him,
"and worry about uniting the party later."
Mrs. Sanders was referring to an unnamed top Clinton advisor's
battle plan, as conveyed to CNN last week.
"Then we watched surrogate after surrogate and Secretary Clinton
herself on the air attempting to disqualify him, which means to
make [him seem] unqualified," Mrs. Sanders said.
She said that her husband, in response, "had said 'Let's talk about
the issues' about what makes somebody unqualified.
"His attempt may not have been as articulate as we might have
preferred, but his attempt was to turn the page to say, 'Let's look
at
trade: Secretary Clinton is pro-free trade, pro-NAFTA, pro
permanent trade relations with China, and pro-TPP [the
Trans-Pacific Partnership], until the very end, after it was too late.'"
Her husband, she added, had noted that Clinton had voted in favor
of the Iraq War, having seen the same information that had led
Bernie Sanders to vote against it.
Mrs. Sanders said, "Secretary Clinton has a regime change policy
that was borne out of Libya. Bernie does not believe in regime
change policy. He was trying to say, 'OK, if you're looking at
who's qualified, let's look at the qualifications you're looking
for as a voter.' I think the media has made more of it than either
candidate."
This reporter asked Mrs. Sanders if she was concerned that voters
in both the Clinton and Sanders camps were so partisan they would
not vote for the other Democratic candidate in a general election.
She replied that "they [Democrat voters] were feeling annoyed at
both sides. If Bernie wins, hopefully Secretary Clinton's
supporters will support him, and if she wins we hope our supporters will
support her.
It's nowhere near as rancorous as it was between Barack Obama and
Hilary
Would her husband support Clinton if she became the candidate?same ideas.'"
"I think both of them will support the other," said Mrs. Sanders.
Her husband's temperament has also come under scrutiny. When asked
if she had ever advised him to "take it down a notch," Mrs. Sanders
said, "No, no, no.
"I think everybody has seemed annoyed at times," she added. "I
remember Secretary Clinton looking quite angry. I think we're

contributions. That's something to be angry about.

and how many people who are disenfranchised voters: people who had

"It has been humbling and quite an honor to have that kind of
support and encouragement and commitment to the future. So I think
we were surprised to that. We were more intellectually thinking
they would resonate. We didn't realize emotionally how much they
would resonate both for people and for us."
For Mrs. Sanders personally, the campaign has proven "exhilarating

country, and learning about specific issues"-she cited "Latinos,"
"immigration,"
and "Native Americans"-but also in terms of understanding and
