As of now 11 out of 37 replies are yours, which is 30 percent (more than a quarter).

And Bernie almost never mentions the topic.

Here is a link to his Super Tuesday speech:

Here is a link to his speech on Feb 10 after winning New Hampshire:

And here is his speech when he announced he was running for president:

No mention of the topic in any of those three major speeches.

There was his foreign policy speech in Utah and his comparison of Baltimore to Gaza. Those were the notable exceptions I mentioned.

Generally speaking it does not come up in his speeches.
