Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) took aim at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again on Sunday, saying that Israel’s actions in Gaza are “ethnic cleansing.”

Sanders reiterated his familiar call on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday to hold Netanyahu responsible for Israel’s actions in Gaza, pointing to the staggering death toll and the displacement of Palestinians in the region. He was asked to respond to the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests that have broken out on college campuses across the country and to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) remarks last week when visiting Columbia University.

“What I think the essential point that Ilhan made is that we do not want to see antisemitism in this country. And I think the word ‘genocide’ is something that is being determined by the International Court of Justice,” he said.

“But just as what I will say: I don’t think there’s any doubt that what Netanyahu is doing now — displacing 80% of the population in Gaza — is ethnic cleansing. That’s what it is. Pushing out huge numbers of people,” he added.

Omar visited Columbia’s campus last week, where the national spotlight has focused on the hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered there. CNN played a clip of her comments Sunday on the ongoing protests on “State of the Union.”

“I think it is really unfortunate that people don’t care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe and that we should not have to tolerate antisemitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they are pro-genocide or anti-genocide,” she said.

Sanders has repeatedly criticized Netanyahu for the ongoing war in Gaza and has opposed more U.S. funding to Israel. He also reiterated his calls for an end to U.S. funding to Israel’s actions in Gaza.

“And now we’re looking at the possibility of an attack on Rafah, where people have gone to as a so-called safety zone. So, what’s going on there, again, to my mind, is outrageous. And as you’ve indicated, I strongly oppose U.S. funding for Netanyahu’s war machine,” he added.

Friday, August 18: Judas Priest, "Solar Angels"

R.I.P. Dave Holland (1948-2018)

Point of Entry was an album of mixed emotions, a record where Judas Priest aimed for American radio rock and somewhat succeeded on a qualitative if not commercial level.  There was little in the way of real heavy metal, but there were hooks and strong riffs and choruses to be found throughout.  And in the case of “Solar Angels”, a rare instance of Priest just riding a steady groove and building a story around it.  Dave Holland’s drumming regularly took heat for being more simplistic and less imaginative than his predecessor and successor, but on his first 3 albums with the band he knew exactly how to propel the songs forward, giving them an unyielding momentum that perfectly supported Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing’s riffs and frequently gave Priest a steamrolling quality that made them a lethal force on stage.  With “Solar Angels” Holland’s 4/4 rhythm gave Tipton and Downing ample space to chug, sway and solo, while Rob Halford largely floated over all of it.  The bridge essentially functioned as a wordless chorus, and there wasn’t a single pummeling moment that announced itself- in a way, this was arguably one of their more experimental tracks, since it had the basic sound of early ‘80s hard rock but without a conventional song structure.  And that was what made it awesome: here was Priest flexing their prowess without showing off, vamping a bit without being overindulgent and letting the groove do the lifting and speak for itself.
