Sanders wants Democrat platform to support 'Palestinian rights'

Bernie Sanders wants to make “Palestinian rights” more of a priority in the Democratic Party platform, according to a report.

The Washington Post reported on Friday that Sanders, the Vermont Independent Senator seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, wants to see changes to a platform to better reflect Palestinian aspirations for statehood.

Sanders, the only Jewish candidate to ever have won major party nominating contests, has throughout the campaign defended Israel’s right to security, but also has called for an end to “settlement expansion”, and has criticized what he has said has been Israel’s “disproportionate response” to Palestinian terrorism.

His grasp of the facts vis-à-vis the Arab-Israeli conflict were recently called into question after he falsely claimed Israel killed “10,000 innocents” during its 2014 war with Gazan terrorist groups. …

A strong Israel is a necessity, or else subject the region to international control. Otherwise the whole place goes up in flames.

Of course he does.

Not sure which one is more corrupt and evil, but frankly it’s a close call. Bernie just probably has not been as good at it as Hillary.

But they are cut from the same soiled cloth...

The UN and/or the EU would relish the prospect of subjecting the region to their “international control”.

Stabs Israel, USA, Europe in the back - as well as his heritage. In short, just one more JSS ( Jewish suicide syndrome ) - afflicted sicko. Trying to get in on some of Hillary’s $100 million - plus Islamonazi dictators bribe payola. They’ll give $$ to anyone they think they can buy off, including I think old Bernie the Red — if they think he can win. But right now they’re so heavily invested in Hillary — still, I bet they’ll toss a few million to Bernie just to cover their bases. They want to continue their heavy control over WashDC without risking someone might upset things for them. A few million tossed at Bernie ? Call it cheap insurance money.

I’m SO glad I’m not a lib and have a mental disease...you know that is what liberalism is: A Mental Disease...

You really can’t tell these two apart...ahem...anyway they are both old, born without brains (as someone pointed out to me, lol) and one is married to one that can’t seem to keep it inside instead of somewhere else...

Trump supports Israel and will respect them as they should be, our friend first and backer second...I can see BiBi and Trump being good friends...

GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!

And 90 % of the U.S. Jewish population will cheer wildly. Because Bernie is a communist and communism is the American Jewish True Religion. They love communism far more than they care for Israel.

This from a despicable self-hating Jew who worships the godless commie scheme. He is a schmuck who couldn’t hold on to a job until he was 40 and got into politics. Which tells us a lot about politicians. Tell you what: send this schmuck over to Gaza and see how long he lasts. Bet it won’t be past his first 3 sentences in a “I love you guys” speech. Bang bang Achmed’s silver bullet comes in right through his head, bang bang Achmed’s silver bullet makes sure that he is dead...

Sanders ought to announce Al Franken as his running mate.

All Jewish and Pro-Palestinian. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

The trouble with political jokes is sometimes they get elected.

Well, at least 2/3 or 70% of American “Jews” will vote for Bernie, absent something on the R side (maybe Mr. Trump may attract some of them)

The more traditional or faithful Jews tend to vote R more often, of course. They feel trapped... Jewish history teaches that the Jews’ biggest problem is schism ....where fractions of the J people go off chasing false gods (golden Calf, Baal, Roman citizenship like St. Paul, Greek culture like in Maccabees, and many would cite a wider range of Jews going off the traditiona path, too. You can fill in the elipses....(... ..) .... ha!
When one traditional rabbi in, I think, NY lost his cool and called some of the “liberal Jews” apostates, several of his fellow orthodoxy rabbis calmed him down and made him stop doing that... in fear of furthering the (obvious) schism between Jewish faith and “liberal” JINOs. The hope is, obviously, to try to bring the wayards leftists back closer to Biblical faith and values... through patient nurturing and quiet outreach, rather than open confrontation. IMHO, this effort does not appear to be succeeding very greatly, but there it is.

“liberal’(so-called) politics is just the latest version of some Jews (in every generation?) chasing after substitutes or false gods, call them waht we may....

We see same sort of thing happening today in some Roman Catholic communities (think Nancy Pelosi, for example, advocating funding and defending mass-scale abortion on demand in direct contradiction of RCC teaching...and then actually lecturing the Pope about it, too!...) and “liberal” Protestant churches advocating all sorts of leftist and sometimes quite kooky political false gods instead of preaching and living a genuine Christian faith

it is a Jewish problem. It is a Catholic problem. It is a Protestant problem. Biblical faith and especially moral values... impose perceived (!) “burdens” that some folks can’t seem to cast off too fast....

I am at a loss to advise how to repair this...

The answer exists. Torah. Jews and everyone else needs to turn to Torah. Remember this: “the Law of the L-rd is perfect.” Live by it. Die without it. If Bernie wants to spit on his heritage, let him. He’s a big boy, he can deal with the consequences. There is a ‘Ger Toshav, ready to take his inheritance and his place among the faithful remnant of Am Yisroel.

“Sanders wants Democrat platform to support ‘Palestinian rights”

Is that like saying Black Democrat platform to support KKK rights?

Our world is going crazy.

No, two Jewish loonies (Sanders and Franken) wouldn’t work. Bernie needs to pick Keith Ellison as his running mate...one Jewish loony and one Muslim loony...that might reduce the reluctance of black Democrats to vote for him.

With Jews like Bernie Sanders who needs Iran and its Nukes, he will kill all the Jews for them.

Goes to show any Jew with a brain that the Dems are the party of Jewish Nuke Holocaust.

Today an Iranian general bragged they could annihilate Israel in 8 minutes. Thanks to Dem Obama.

This never was a Palestinian people, and Jordan got 72% of the UN land grant. The Jews got the short end of the stick.
No more land for the Muslims, they have more than 2 dozen counties to ruin already.

I think it's time for a little sit down with Bernie and show him the stupidity of his words. He thinks Israel is retaliating too strong? If he would look the the word up he would find that retaliation is based upon fighting back. The Palestinians, who really do not exist because there is no Palestine. It's made up of land owned by Israel and is supposedly governed by the PLO, a terrorist organization. That's not an individual country. How much is Israel supposed to put up with? Sine 1989: 162 suicide bombings and Palestinians carried out 150 rocket launches and 215 mortar launches at Israel in 2015 alone. And if you think it is getting slower, Since 13 September 2015, 34 people have been killed in terrorist attacks and 452 people (including 4 Palestinians) injured. There have, also, been 148 stabbing attacks (including 66 attempted attacks), 87 shootings, 43 vehicular (ramming) attacks and one vehicle (bus) bombing. If you dance, you pay the piper! red
