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. …

They should have the “Right” to live in one of the numerous Arab countries in the Middle East.

I hope he gets his way, so we can know once and for all what percentage of American Jews are socialists first and Jewish second.

Well, I don't think Hillary is going to let anyone keep her from the nomination. Obama could stop her but he's probably afraid to try...he doesn't want to be Ron Browned.

Peggy Noonan thinks Hillary should pick Bernie as her running mate but I doubt that will happen...she's aware of her own health issues and would want to leave the country in the hands of someone as corrupt as herself, not in the hands of a true believer like Bernie.

What happens when we get to mid-October if Trump is leading by 5 or 10 points. Would Hillary be able to have him liquidated without it being traceable back to herself?

“disproportionate response” to .... terrorism

OK, so what is the PROPER response to terrorism?

IMO disproportionate is letting any of them live to terrorize again.
