He did, but his statement was highly critical of Israel's human rights abuses in Palestinian territory.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

The prevailing European stance is highly critical. Even among some of the more traditionally conservative newspapers.
I've been following these elections for a reasonably long time, but this is the first AIPAC parade I've witnessed.
a lot actually.
He is a Jew. Yet Muslims vote for him.
AIPAC would love it if the Palestinians were wiped out.
This is a staple of US politics, long tradition and very important. This isn't about some nonsensical Jewish conspiracy etc etc...but, it is absolutely critical and no one wants to get on the wrong side of AIPAC.
Look at the last 7 years, what has Obama done differently? Have illegal Israeli settlements stopped? Has the US allowed the UN to pass any resolutions against Israel? Has it denied Israel any funds? Arms?
No on all counts.
Yet, because, Obama dared to call for 'restraint'...he has apparently betrayed Israel
Hillary will be a lot more hawkish on the issue (not as far as Cruz)...but, much less sympathetic to Palestinians.
In additional republican candidates go the extra mile because the evangelicals are more pro Israel than Israelis
I think there are more Israeli Jews who find a Palestinian state acceptable than evangelicals in the US!
I just think there is room to condemn Palestinian terrorism and acknowledge the right of Israel to defend itself - while still demanding justice for the Palestinian people without being labeled an Anti Semite.
Wow, she's going in hard. Thank goodness she didn't mention his titchy hands. Should imagine she'll be next on his hit list after Megyn.
Just can't imagine a politician here saying that sort of stuff. Well done to her.
I missed that. No wonder they blocked him!
Cruz just said his father was tortured by the Batista regime in Cuba. That American backed fascist regime...
This might be fun. He isn't capable of biting his tongue and taking an attack like that on the chin, but if he goes after her he could be in for a rude awakening!
I just hope it isn't Cruz or, god forbid, Kasich, as the nominee.
Even Bernie loses to Kasich. Kasich as VP would be kryptonite.

These ratings have to be taken with a pinch of salt IMO. This is all relative and it only reflects that Kasich is more electable than Trump and Cruz.
Cruz, in that interview in CNN sounded ominous about all he said.
Trump getting softballed by Wolf at the moment yet ignoring and side-stepping every question. Some highlights so far..
"look at these hands" "These are the steadiest hands in the world" "i'm the least racist person in the world"
Etc. He's a feckin joke.

Trump looks orange except for his purple eyes.
It's really annoying how he skirts every question though, we need a Paxman style interview where he just goes at him relentlessly throwing facts and asking again and again until he gets an answer.
The only matchups that are remotely credible are Trump v Hillary since people actually think they have a good chance of facing each other. The rest of them are all completely worthless since they are basically asking people about pretend matchups that may or may not take place 8 months from now.
Remember guys, Trump can't be bought out. All this bending over for AIPAC is just playful foreplay 
Cruz on the other hand should invest in a sturdy pair of knee pads in time for his next meeting with Netanyahu.

after the BJ he will carry the bible.
Piss poor questioning from Wolf Blitzer then to Trump. Sick and tired of these people giving him a free ride when questioning him.
Wolf Blitzer is the pits. Anderson Cooper is a much tougher moderator, with the guts and brains to follow up and call out lies.
He's the Teflon Trump. No question ever sticks on him. He just wants to say what he wants to say irrespective of the question.
They're all bent over, taking it from Israel.
Clinton says she wouldn't move the embassy to Jerusalem. Wasn't expecting that from her to be honest. I don't understand why this is a major issue. Does Tel Aviv have crappy traffic or something?

I agree, but if you listen to the shit he just came out with to Wolf. Every answer was a joke, he is never held accountable for anything he says or does. It really has to stop. Surely it can't go on much longer? Surely he will have to have a Palin ~ Katie Couric moment sooner or later?
Oh god she just refuses to answer questions :/
To be fair, she hasn't really been asked any yet. It's a joke. Everyone is softballing these candidates tonight. Trump just mocked someone for reading off a teleprompter, didn't he do the same today?
Even Cruz evaded the Gaffney question.
They are going to crucify Lyin Ted on the Gaffney thing.
It was about Merrick Garland. Don't see how it would harm her to answer. I can understand the evasion on encryption, but what was she obfuscating with that non-answer about the SC nomination?
It's like her 1st instinct is not to answer, regardless of the question.
Would you like to retract this statement? Or is he just having an off night?
He atleast tried on the SC question.
EDIT: this was the 1st question in all the dem debatest his year, it may have shaped my view
She was as bad as Trump tonight. Both getting away with anything they want. Poor show by CNN. They are normally much tougher than that.
Seriously?
Why is AIPAC so powerful in American politics?
There are obviously a huge amount of successful American Jews in the financial sector, entertainment industry and what not, but you'd think they would have different views and not all of them are interested in or supportive of the organisation. Evangelicals are obsessed with Israel, sure, but a plurality of Dems and about a third of Republicans think that they have too much influence. So is it just down to money or there's something intangible here?

I love this man so much. His answer on Israel is miles, miles from any candidate.
Bernie for president of the new world order or the lizard people or whoever really controls us.

You'd be right. She's a bit paranoid, especially in front of a big platform like national televised debates/town halls/interviews.
She's much more candid in smaller, more intimate settings. When all eyes are trained on her, she strives not to make any mistake first and foremost, and it often backfired.
Bernie the ONLY candidate to mention the Palestinians. That's not only sad it just shows why the rest should be unelectable. His answer was amazing too.
EDIT! And he's feckin Jewish!

Partly.
Apart from a symbolic "feck you" to the Arab world, does it serve any practical purpose to move a US embassy to a more volatile city?
Bernie is bringing the real regarding Saudi Arabia.
"Red-baiting"
FIVE feckin questions on Cuba and Castro. WTF? So biased, unbelievable. Just baiting him to say something positive about them so they can brand him a socialist or sympathiser and use it against him. Yet they let Trump, Cruz and Clinton off easily. This is BS.
