NEW YORK (JTA) – It might have been the last place you’d expect anger to erupt against the Bernie Sanders campaign.
But at a Jews for Bernie brunch in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood on Sunday, the frustration seemed to boil over when some silver-haired Jewish supporters of Sanders began deriding what they described as the campaign’s lackluster response to perceived missteps by the Democratic presidential candidate on Jewish issues – most recently, last week’s interview with the New York Daily News in which Sanders grossly overestimated the number of Palestinian civilians killed in the 2014 Gaza conflict.
That interview and other Sanders campaign blunders on issues of Jewish concern, several of them complained, are making it more difficult to make the case to fellow Jews to support the Vermont senator in his bid for the White House.
When campaign staffers at Sunday’s event tried to steer the public conversation away from those concerns to focus on the logistics of canvassing, a few attendees became visibly irritated.

Well, it is hard to believe 50 billion innocent Palestinians are killed every year by Israel.
Sht, they would forgive him sidelining Israel, but visiting the Pope instead!?
In any case, if blacks were more closely caring for Nigeria being assaulted by islamic terrorists the way jews see how Sanders attacks Israel, maybe their plight would improve.
Bernie, you putz. Your getting schlonged.
Sanders has never seemed to really care one way or the other that he’s Jewish, even when it might have benefitted him. So, this is not surprising.
Bernie is hugely popular here in the midst of the Seattlunatics (probably 10 to 1 over the hildebeast) but ever since he visited town and ceded the stage to the idgit SJW klowns I knew he didn’t stand a chance of beating her.
FOOLS and their money are easily parted. These imbeciles attend a function for a known Commie and functional atheist, and they are disappointed about his support for Israel? Or his insanely incorrect numbers of Pali deaths? They are a disgrace to the race!
Collectivists Hillaryous
