Bernie Sanders Won America’s Largest Arab Community by Being Open to Them
The Intercept ^ | March 9, 2016 | Zaid Jilani

Bernie Sanders' upset in the Michigan primary Tuesday can be attributed, in part, to a strong showing in Dearborn, Michigan, which has the largest concentration of Arab Americans in the nation. Sanders won almost 60 percent of the vote there, besting rival Hillary Clinton.

Apparently, something about Sanders resonated with residents.

"Believing in something unpopular and fighting for those things is true courage and bravery. I feel personally connected to his message of humanism and peace," Mason Hinawi, a high school student and first-time Dearborn Heights voter, told The Intercept about his support for Sanders. "I know a lot of Muslim people my age also taken by his message of peace and his welcoming tone."

An analysis by the Dearborn-based Arab American News showed that heavily populated Arab neighborhoods in the city went overwhelmingly for Sanders -- 210 to 101 in Southern Salina, a Yemeni-American neighborhood, for example. The paper estimated that "Arab Americans voted 2 to 1 for Sanders in almost every east Dearborn precinct." East Dearborn is where most Arab Americans live....

Sanders told a Muslim crowd yesterday in Dearborn that the cause of all the chaos in the Middle East is the “Existence Of Israel” so now we know where ol Bernie stands when it comes to Israel, no wonder the Arab cockroaches love him, he wants Israel wiped off the map just like they do

Bernie Sanders self-excommunicated himself from the Jewish community. His real faith is Socialism.

Since when does “open” mean “pandering?”

"I know a lot of Muslim people my age also taken by his message of peace and his welcoming tone."

I speak Arabic, so I can translate for the benefit of Free Republic: "He's a Dhimmi, so we voted for him."

What, in itself, was the basis of the Jewish religion? Practical need; egoism.

The monotheism of the Jew, therefore, is in reality the polytheism of the many needs, a polytheism which makes even the lavatory an object of divine law. Practical need, egoism, is the principle of civil society, and as such appears in pure form as soon as civil society has fully given birth to the political state. The god of practical need and self-interest is money.

Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man—and turns them into commodities. Money is the universal self-established value of all things. It has, therefore, robbed the whole world—both the world of men and nature—of its specific value. Money is the estranged essence of man’s work and man’s existence, and this alien essence dominates him, and he worships it.

The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. …
Marx’s own atheism degraded his view of the Jews (himself ethnically Jewish) to this expression of loathing and hatred. Bernie can pretend to embrace his Jewishness all he wants, but ultimately, the Marxian viewpoint defines his true self.

He is a JINO. Jew in Name Only.

As others have mentioned, his real allegiance is to Socialism. He is closer to Lenin than Mao, maybe. But he has always been anti-Israel.
