The Vermont Senator also told AIPAC it was time to end the economic blockade of Gaza. He identified a long-held Israeli practice of using water as a weapon against Palestinians and called for a "sustainable and equitable distribution of precious water resources so that Israel and Palestine can both thrive as neighbors."

"Peace has to mean security for every Israeli from violence and terrorism. But peace also means security for every Palestinian. It means achieving self-determination, civil rights and economic well-being for the Palestinian people. Peace will mean ending what amounts to the occupation of Palestinian territory, establishing mutually agreed upon borders."
