Bernie Sanders on U.S. aid to Israel

I am very worried about what Netanyahu is doing and some of his allies in government and what may happen to the Palestinian people.  And let me tell you something: I haven't said this publicly, but I think the United States gives billions of dollars in aid to Israel, and I think we've got to put some strings attached to that.  And so you cannot run a racist government, you cannot turn your back on the two-state solution, you cannot demean the Palestinian people there.  You just can't do it and come to America and ask for money.
