Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Bernie Sanders: Killing a Terrorist Is Like Putting Muslims in Concentration Camps

Jan 10, 2020 2:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield

With Beto O’Rourke out of the race, it’s up to Bernie Sanders to come up with the best hot take on the killing of Soleimani. And he delivers exactly the sort of rambling senile socialist rant you would expect from Jeremy Corbyn. All he leaves out is throwing around “empire”, “endless war”, and “neo-liberalism”. And then blaming the whole thing on corporations. But at least he manages to compare Trump to Putin and Xi.

SANDERS: No, I think it was an assassination. I think it was in violation of international law. This guy was (INAUDIBLE) — was a bad news guy, but he was a ranking official of the Iranian government.

And Baghdadi was the ranking head of the Islamic State.

So what?

If a foreign government official decides to engage in terrorist operations, he’s a terrorist. The silly argument that Soleimani can’t be killed because he has an official title is nonsense. Terrorists don’t stop being terrorists because they have titles.

And you know what? Once you get into violating international law in that sense, you can say there are a lot of bad people all over the world running governments. Kim Jong-un in North Korea, not exactly a nice guy, responsible for the death, perhaps, of hundreds of thousands of people in his own country, to name one of many, you know?

Killing terrorists isn’t a violation of international law, but if it were, are all violations equivalent? Bernie’s argument is that if you shoplift, you might as well be a serial killer. It’s the sort of purity that lefties would vehemently reject when it comes to criminal justice, but not international law.

Funny.

The president of China now has put a million people in — Muslims, into educational camps. Some would call them concentration camps. But once you start this business of a major country saying, hey, we have the right to assassinate, then you’re unleashing international anarchy.

Some being Bernie. Anyway I thought he was a supporter of anarchists. And assassinations. The KGB did quite a bit of it.

I’m not a lawyer on these things, it might be. But this guy is, you know, was, as bad as he was, an official of the Iranian government.

And you unleash — then if China does that, you know, if Russia does that, you know, Russia has been implicated under Putin with assassinating dissidents.

I’m not a lawyer, I’m just a senator running for president and speaking on CNN.

Doesn’t Bernie have any lawyers working for his campaign? Or proxies? Or is it all Islamists who support Louie Farrakhan and killing Jews?

Anyway, according to a supporter of every Marxist terror group on the planet, killing an Islamist  terrorist is just like Putin killing dissidents. So Soleimani must be a dissident? Attacking a US embassy would be his form of dissent.

What would President Sanders do if a US embassy were attacked by Iran? Apologize. And blame some guy on YouTube for making a video.

    Some massive news out of Canada

    Right from the AG

    Earlier today I sent the following letter to @RalphGoodale asking him to initiate the formal process for listing the #IRGC as a terrorist entity in Canada, further to the House motion on #Iran adopted on Tuesday. He has confirmed that the process has been initiated. #cdnpoli

    “What would President Sanders do if a US embassy were attacked by Iran? Apologize.”

    No, he would probably flip flop and revert to soviet Bernie instead.

    Sanders was a supporter of international law violations before he was against it.

    Why is he complaining? This moron honeymooned in Moscow in 1988. That was 5 years after Reagan declared the USSR an evil empire. I think we can safely say that Bernie had a love affair with the USSR. Assassination and kidnapping were big parts of USSR foreign policy so again I ask, what is this idiot complaining about? The democrat party has devolved in to an Idiocracy.

    Bernie Sanders must believe that no one should shoot at Shi’ite terrorists … if they are above the rank of major. What is the reason?

    Soleimani was ‘a ranking official’ … yes, in ranking officer in the business of killing Americans. Admiral Yamamoto was ‘ranking member’ of the Japanese military, but the US still targeted Adm Yamamoto because Yamamoto’s mission was to kill Americans. Yamamoto was killed in the theater of war. Soleimani was killed in the theater of war. I don’t see a difference here. Iran has all but declared war on the US.

    The words, ‘DEATH TO AMERICA’ can only mean one thing.

    Sanders doesn’t agree that whoever targets American soldiers, sailors or airmen is a valid target and fair game for counterattack. When a sniper is killing people, the police in any city would try to take out the sniper. Soleimani was the chief of the snipers.

    Sanders sounds like the himbo, light-weight Jihadi Justin Trudeau: “When you kill your enemies, they win.”

    So, why don’t the jihadists believe that too? Whenever the Leftards want to shift the goal posts, they suddenly become Buddhists.

    More double standards from the loony Left. It’s obvious that the Left is working with the jihadists.

    Maybe Bernie can tell us about the word “assassin” and how it has its origins in the Hashshashin Muslim sect from … where? Oh yes, Persia.

    1. Sanders:to Anderson Cooper:

    “No, I think it was an assassination. I think it was in violation of international law.”

    Expressing nothing but his opinions.

    Did Cooper ask him to provide the basis for them?

    2. Does Sanders realize how reviled Jews and Judaism is to Allah’s slaves?

    3. Does he realize it’s his commie buds who are locking them up?

  8. Huh!?! says

    Jan 10, 2020 at 4:26 pm

    Hmm. So since Trump is the head of the U.S. and Bernie wants to see the U.S. made over in his image, taking out Trump would be ok? I don’t understand. Killing a terrorist is like putting muslims in a concentration camp. I don’t believe that. Killing a terrorist is like, um, killing a terrorist. How is this man still a presidential contender? Oh, I just remembered, leftists that have hijacked the the party of the Democrats.
    On a good note, I missed that Beto is out of the running. Thank You Lord of Moses.

    By this logic, killing Bernie Sanders would raise America’s collective IQ by 15 points.

    You would hope that the best would come to the top, but I forgot turds float. Bernie has been floating at the top for a long time. He complains about the vary system that allows him to feed at the trough, and he has feed real well. In Bernies plan we will all live together in close quarters, eat the same foods, and travel by mass transit, except for him and his socialist buddies. Just take a look at any socialist country, the people live on the margin of poverty while the leaders and elite live the high life. Bernies not about to give up his life style, he’s hoping to improve it too lavish.

    The idea that the government owes you a living and medical care is bullshit, not even GOD promises us that. If you want to get ahead in this country get off your lazy butt and try working hard and smart, that usually pays off. And wake up you most likely won’t start as a CEO, you just might have to work your way up. That also might mean that you have to work jobs and hours with co-workers you do not like. That life, welcome to it.
