He grew up in occupied Palestine and still defends the occupation's right to exist (which inherently requires existing on top of a racial underclass) and brutally repress indigenous anticolonial uprisings. That's what he's saying every time he says "of course Israel has a right to defend itself, but..."

I don't need to Google shit, I've followed him for years and I know what he is.

Uhh, pretty sure Bernie Sanders was born and raised in Brooklyn

I said "grew up", not "born and raised". Though I guess it was a few months so I was still overstating it, sorry about that. But the point remains: it helps to provide context for his attempts to justify the illegal occupation's continued existence.
