Sanders: It's no longer enough for us to simply be pro-Israel

US Senator Bernie Sanders, one of the candidates in the Democratic party’s presidential primaries, on Wednesday once again suggested that the United States should rethink its policies toward Israel and the Palestinian Arabs.

Speaking during a televised debate of Democratic presidential candidates, Sanders said, “It is no longer good enough for us to be simply pro-Israel. I am pro-Israel. But we must treat the Palestinian people as well with the respect and dignity they deserve.”
