DEMOCRATIC Party US presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders called for an end to the occupation of Palestine on Monday night — as his rival Hillary Clinton wooed the Israel lobby.

Addressing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) policy conference yesterday, Ms Clinton said she would “vigorously oppose” attempts to “impose” a peaceful solution to Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

She called the recent wave of Palestinian attacks on illegal Israeli settlers and occupation troops “terrorism” and dubbed boycotts of Israeli “anti-semitic.”
