On his nationally syndicated radio talk show Monday, host Mark Levin singled out Bernie Sanders for his take on the Israeli government’s decision to use lethal force against Palestinians on the Gaza Strip on the border with Israel, saying, “If Israelis listened to Bernie Sanders, they would cease to exist.”

“What about Hamas and Islamic jihad?” Levin asked in response to a clip of Bernie Sanders speaking on how Israel should respond to threats on its border. “If the Israelis listened to Bernie Sanders, they would cease to exist.”

Mark Levin’s comments came after Sen. Bernie Sanders was interviewed by Margaret Brennan on CBS News “Face the Nation” on the recent clashes between Israel and Palestinians on the Israeli border, Sen. Sanders saying that Israel “cannot overreact and the idea of 15 or so people being killed and hundreds being wounded is – is to me unacceptable.”

Below is a transcript of Levin’s remarks from his show Monday:

Mark Levin: “But Bernie Sanders, and I’ll say this as a Jew, is disgusting beyond belief. He’s a self-hating Jew, in my view, as most communists were and are – as most communists were and are – if they’re Jewish. “So, Bernie Sanders is on “Face the Nation,” and Margaret Brennan asks him about what’s taking place on the Gaza Strip on the border with Israel. “Cut one, go.” Margaret Brennan: “Sir, you have been critical of the Israeli government's decision to use lethal force against Palestinian demonstrators, killing 15, wounding over 700. The Trump administration has stopped short of calling on Israel for restraint. Should they explicitly do so?” Levin: “Now, let’s stop here. “Israel has shown restraint. As I said, this is exactly why they don’t do this to the Egyptians – the Palestinians. “Would we tolerate this on our southern or norther border, folks? Would we tolerate this kind of activity: terrorists trying to come into this country; terrorist cells just south of the border? Would we not go in there and just blow them to kingdom come? Yes, we would, and we should. “The IDF, the Israeli government is the most militarily restrained, probably on the face of the earth. I wouldn’t be this restrained. “But look how the world jumps all over them, and not just the world, Bernie Sanders, one of the leaders of the Democrat Party. “Go ahead.”
