        Yeah, this is like one of those illusions where you can’t tell if you’re looking at two people staring at each other or a vase. If you’re a leftie, you look at this and go, “Good, based Bernie.” If you only consume the mainstream narrative that the Israelis are on the right side of history here and opposition to their campaign or our support for it are heresy, this reads like “Bad Commie Bernie.”

        Edit: Just read the article. It quotes Bernie heavily, seems to let him represent his own position. It juxtaposes the Israeli claim that they’re not being indiscriminate against some pretty ugly numbers about the dead and displaced. The article reads pretty pro-Bernie to me.

          It’s NBC news. They’ll be promoting a pro-Israel stance. They know exactly what happens to political persons that publicly condemn Israel.
