Bernie Sanders on Israel.

Sanders promises to pursue a level playing field on Israel-Palestine.

Sanders has acknowledged the suffering that Palestinians endure under the illegal Israeli occupation.

Sanders has dared to mention that Israel has engaged in crimes.
Sanders says: "We cannot ignore the reality that you have large numbers of Palestinians who are suffering now, poverty rate off the charts, unemployment off the charts, Gaza remaining a destroyed area...

"Israel cannot just simply expand when it wants to expand with new settlements."
Sanders says peace will require the end of the Israeli occupation and 'pulling back settlements in the West Bank.'
Sanders says peace will require ending the blockade of the coastal strip and ensuring Palestinian self-determination and control of their natural resources, especially water.

Trump promised to move the American embassy to Jerusalem, 'the eternal capital of the Jewish people.'

Trump said 'The Palestinians must come to the table willing to accept that Israel is a Jewish state and it will exist forever as a Jewish state.'



In his speech to AIPAC, Trump placed the blame for the stalled peace talks on the Palestinians.

Trump also accused the Palestinians of incitement to terrorism.

Trump said that as president the U.S. he would veto any UN Security Council resolution forcing a deal between Israel and the Palestinians.
