Bernie Sanders Condemns Netanyahu's War on Iran and Urges U.S. Non-Involvement

Published | Video Starts at 05:05

In my view, that would be a disaster. The United States must not be involved with another Netanyahu war, not militarily or financially. The United States Constitution is crystal clear. There can be no offensive use of military force against Iran or any other country without an explicit authorization from Congress. No such authorization exists, and any US Involvement would therefore be illegal. The United States has already provided hundreds of billions of dollars to Israel over the last many decades.

CLAIM
