Bernie Sanders’ new Jewish outreach director is outspoken critic of Israeli occupation

Simone Zimmerman, the Bernie Sanders campaign’s newly hired national Jewish outreach coordinator, is quite familiar with the American Jewish establishment.

She is used to fighting against it.

During the 2014 Gaza war, Zimmerman was one of the leaders of a group of young Jews that held regular protest vigils outside the offices of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, reading the names of Palestinians and Israelis killed in the conflict.

She opposes Israel’s occupation, wants Hillel to allow participation by groups that support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel, is against Jewish federation funding for Israeli projects in the West Bank and wrote favorably of the efforts of Jewish Voice for Peace, a pro-BDS group, to get “international corporations to stop profiting off human rights abuses.” (The Anti-Defamation League has called JVP one of America’s top 10 anti-Israel groups.) …

Bernie’s an embarrassment; all the Washington insiders are going to hand Hillary the nomination, anyway.

Bernie ( most regrettebly) and his new nazi-style assistant and the article’s author all appear to be real committed Nazis or self-,hating “Jewish in name only” leftist/ communistic Quislings or they’ve simply sold out to the enemy, hard to tell which but the results are about the same at any event -——to have adopted the enemy’s propaganda and false vocabulary as having any honest validity in the real world. People like this are far more dangerous then commonly supposed. It’s too easy to write them off as sick nut cases. But history proves that sick nut cases can be extremely dangerous , especially when they manage to invagel their way into power. (Well, they can, and undoubtably will, all GTH imho.)

Jews must stop using that term. “The Occupation” to Islamists means the existence of Israel.

[[She opposes Israel’s occupation,]]

There’s only one occupation in Israel and it’s the arab squatters in Judea and Samaria .

Go figure!

She’s a J-Street agent.

Soros founded and bankrolled J-Street.
