"Real" in what sense?

Bernie is a nut case. He is so far to the left that the DNC was afraid he would
lose an election if they allowed him to run for president in 2016 and 2020.

Moving an embassy from one city to another is nothing more than a
symbolic gesture. I will believe Argentina supports Israel when they
start sending weapons.

Moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was a symbolic
gesture with no practical value. It made it harder for many people to
conduct business with the embassy because Tel Aviv is Israel's main
transportation hub while Jerusalem is a provincial city.

Argentina does indeed have a weapons industry but a different
one from Israel's. Argentina is the world's biggest producer of
pluted cattle manure (aka cow dung). If exported to Israel it
could be used by the IAF to bomb Hamas without injuring
civilians.

Read above.

No idea. I have no knowledge of the matter and no connections
with government.
