Sen. Bernie Sanders

You want to kill an enemy, you kill an enemy.

It's this, you know, horrible business.

We want to eliminate war.

But there are rules of war, engagement.

Starving children is, under any definition, a horror.

And that's what happened.

Bombing all of the entire, people don't realize this, not only killing people, virtually every medical facility has been bombed, schools have been bombed, water systems, waste water, the place has been laid desolate.

Those are war crimes.

And I did my best, and with some success, I managed to turn around.

It started, the war started, almost everybody would say, oh, you know, Israel, we're going to support Israel, Netanyahu.

That has changed.

And your point is very important, that a lot of the impetus for those changes in Congress came from young people, and not just, you know, people on the left.

You've got conservative Republican kids who are saying, you know what, not a great idea to fund Netanyahu.

And the answer is getting back to a corrupt campaign finance system.

If you check the record, and again, it's not just AIPAC, it is the crypto industry, it is the insurance companies, it is the drug companies, but AIPAC is a significant funder of, I would imagine, hundreds of members of Congress.

So it's customary, you're there, we'll send you a check for 10,000 bucks.

If you're a leader, we may make it over a period of years, hundreds of thousands of dollars, you're in the club, you're going to be pro-Israel.

But having said that,

We're seeing, for all the reasons that you have suggested, we're seeing more and more people saying, APAC, thank you, I don't want your money, actually, because the people in my district are not happy with what Netanyahu is doing.

So I think we're turning that around a little bit.
