I think replacing it with "American Politicians" would work, but accuracy, in my Polandb... meme?
It would work. Senator Sanders forced a vote to require the State department to report on Israel's humanitarian violations or immediately withhold aid, and the Senate quickly voted 72-11 against the proposal. That is probably the most bi-partisan vote we've seen in decades. But don't go thinking that the enormous American political machine actually represents the will of the American people. They represent corporate interests, and hardly even try to hide that anymore.
Did anyone call Sanders anti-semitic?
Yes, a number of users on Lemmy have made that claim, and this article shows references of it being done by various media outlets and other political pundits.
