"We have a right to say to the Israeli government that the United States of America and our taxpayers and our people believe in human rights, we believe in democracy, we will not accept authoritarianism or racism," the Vermont independent said Monday at the national J Street conference. "And we demand the Israeli government sit down with the Palestinian people and negotiate an agreement that works for all parties."
"I would use the leverage. $3.8 billion is a lot of money, and we cannot give it carte blanche to the Israeli government or for that matter to any government at all. We have a right to demand respect for human rights and democracy," he said.

I don't think I have ever pulled for heart trouble before... but... I am currently rethinking my stance on this.

Is this just targeting Israel or does he want to end foreign aid altogether?

I can do without all the rhetoric, but I'm definitely on board ending all aid.

Count me in on this. If you don't end all of it then you have an ongoing problem.

So you’re against Palestine

Palestine does not want this

Palestine does not want this.

Same. But somehow I don't believe that Bernie is proposing that, despite where he talks about how much money we're giving away. His problem isn't with the amount, but with the recipient.

I agree. But I'm troubled (not really) by Bernie's desire to leverage foreign aid to achieve one of his policy goals.

Sorry, I'm not Jewish, but how dare he claim to be Jewish when he says crap like this.

For once he makes sense. You can't buy friends or rent them for that matter. And besides we're borrowing it in the first place.

This is a secondary point to this article. The primary point is the hypocrisy of the quid pro quo part.

So it’s ok for Bernie to do it, but by gawd we will impeach that orange bastard for daring to do the same (even though he didn’t).
Burn in hell Bernie, you commie cock sucking piece of shite.

Quid pro quo is the definition of foreign policy. Basically it’s we will give you money or something else BUT IN RETURN you must do x.
Unless your Trump then your foreign policy MUST BE APPROVED by the Dems.
