Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders has tapped two major backers of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement to be members of the DNC platform committee after reports emerged that Sanders wants to revamp the platform to highlight the issue of Palestinian rights. Sanders picked James Zogby, president of the Arab-American Institute in Washington, and Cornel West, a philosopher and anti-Israel activist, to fill two of his five slots on the 15-member platform as part of his plans to revise the Democratic Partys stance on relations with Israel.
West is a vociferous critic of Israel who has called the Gaza Strip the hood on steroids and, in 2014, wrote that the crimes of Hamas pale in the face of the U.S.-supported Israeli slaughters of innocent civilians.
On Saturday, Zogby slammed the Obama administration for continuing to enable [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus] malevolent rule.

Warning! Don’t mess with ISRAEL.
I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.” Genesis 12:3
There is a federal law called the Anti-Arab-Boycott Act that prohibits any individual or firm involved in any business with the federal government from cooperating with boycott activities directed at Israel. So this BDS movement is a violation of the Anti-Boycott Act when supported by anybody who is involved in any level of government contracting or other federal government activity.
Self-loathing Jew.
Jewish voters need to look at which candidates support Israel. Sanders and Hillary certainly do not support Israel, while Trump does.
Kapo.
This will mean more Jewish votes for Trump. That’s good.
Sherman is a sellout to Iran. Color her a traitor.
Berman was a far-left wacko congressman who poses as a friend of Israel.
Neera Tander - Campaign for American Progress - a Soros/Marxist “think tank” full of reds, crazies and sell-out liberals, in that order.
Elijah Cummins - D/Md. Obama’s Congressional Black Caucus designated “obstructionist” to Republican congressional probes, hearings and publications. Color him “traitor”.
Cornel West - Marxist and brillo-pad salesman
James Zogby - Mr. PLO/Fatah propagandist and working friend of the Communist Party USA, esp. when Jack O’Dell was around his PHRC and AADC.

Obviously supporting BDS is an important issue for Bernie.
Sanders is a communist antisemite. He participated in a movement to end US arms sales to Israel in the 1970s. Had it been up to Sanders, Israel would have either been destroyed by invasion in 1973, or would have been destroyed in a nuclear exchange with the USSR.
