Sanders’s dovish positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict reflect the thinking prevalent in the Democratic Party’s progressive wing, Oren maintained. “That’s legitimate in discourse. What’s not legitimate in discourse is to lie, and to lie in ways that are libelous about Israel and which, in fact, endanger Israel’s security.”In other words, he's entitled to his own opinion but not to his own facts.
