Bernie Sanders: Israeli government 'racist'
US Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is standing by his criticism of Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying Israel is "now run by a right- wing, dare I say, racist government."
Sanders said on Monday at a CNN town hall in New Hampshire that he believes the United States should try to bring people together and deal with the Middle East on a level-playing-field basis, "not just support one country".
The senator from Vermont says he is "not anti-Israel" but feels Netanyahu is "a right-wing politician" who is treating the Palestinian people "extremely unfairly."
Sanders then added that he is "100 per cent pro-Israel" and that the country has "every right in the world to exist and to exist in peace and security and not be subjected to terrorists' attacks."
