‘You Have Become a Moral Monster’: Bernie Sanders Is Denounced by Leftists After He Questions the Logic of a Cease-fire at Gaza
‘Hundreds of ex-Bernie staffers … are deeply disgusted and disheartened’ by the Vermont Senator not having called for a cease-fire, according to one former campaign staffer who’s now a Vermont state representative.

Progressives are hammering Vermont’s Democratic Socialist senator, the reliably liberal Bernie Sanders, after he expressed skepticism about the efficacy of a long-term cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. Left-wing activists are now accusing Senator Sanders of betraying them and “selling out” to the America Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The pushback against Mr. Sanders, who is Jewish, demonstrates the difficulties faced by the handful of progressives resistant to joining the ranks calling for a permanent end to hostilities at Gaza. In addition to Mr. Sanders, Congressman Adam Schiff, who is also Jewish, lost the endorsement of Burbank’s mayor, Konstantine Anthony, in the race to fill Senator Feinstein’s seat. Mr. Anthony’s change of heart was, he stated in a press release, spurred by Mr. Schiff’s hesitation to call for a permanent end to fighting at Gaza.
