Bernie Sanders put Netanyahu on his list of odious right-wing authoritarians, along with Putin, Duterte, and Orban. That seems a bit harsh, given that Israel, in spite of its flaws, remains a vibrant democracy. But only a bit, given Bibi’s many Trump-like qualities and his enthusiasm for obnoxious nationalists–even some who are pretty clearly anti-Semites.
If Bernie wins in 2020, the party is over for Bibi. Sanders will undoubtedly move America back to its traditional role of even-handed mediator between Israel and the Palestinians. I suspect he will seriously consider using American aid as a lever to stop settlements and annexations. Above all, he will have no interest in fighting Iran to the last American. And when Bibi, in accordance with his usual practice, inevitably calls Bernie an anti-Semite and a concentration camp guard, no one will believe him, because Bernie is Jewish.
There aren’t many good reasons to vote for Sanders, but that would certainly be one of them.
