Bernie Sanders boycotts AIPAC but spoke at conference featuring parade of anti-Semites and extremists
Washington Examiner ^ | February 24, 2020 | Philip Klein

Democratic presidential front-runner Bernie Sanders, in refusing to speak at one of the largest annual pro-Israel gatherings, claimed he’s concerned about, “the platform AIPAC provides for leaders who express bigotry and oppose basic Palestinian rights.” But last year, he happily spoke at an Islamic conference that featured a parade of anti-Semitic speakers who have denied Israel’s legitimacy.

As part of an effort to reassure his anti-Israel base, Sanders announced on Sunday his intention to boycott the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Policy Conference, which features a number of speakers from both parties touting the need for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.

But last August, Sanders spoke at the Islamic Society of North America's annual conference. ISNA has long generated controversy for hosting radical speakers and turning away more moderate voices.

Wajahat Ali, a Muslim journalist, lawyer, and playwright wrote in the Atlantic about how he was disinvited from ISNA after being told that the group requires Muslim speakers to share its values, specifically “[the] community’s support for the Palestinian people of all faith traditions, in their struggle against occupation and dispossession.” Ali was not actually a Zionist or a fan of Israeli policy, but he fell out of favor in ISNA circles because he was involved with “the Shalom Hartman Institute and its Muslim Leadership Initiative — a program that promotes engagement between American Muslims and Jewish scholars, both in Israel and in New York City, to learn how diverse Jewish communities debate and discuss Israel, Zionism, and Judaism.” In other words, engaging in a dialogue with the Israeli enemy was a crime in and of itself.

So what type of speakers are accepted at ISNA?

One example is Hatem Bazian, who has been dubbed “American’s most anti-Semitic professor.”

I’ve never really understood the term ‘self-hating Jew’.

Perhaps someone can help me.

Watching the debate tonight - break time - I noticed yet again there is NO American FLAG anywhere on that stage. OTOH it’s a real comedy routine, a laugh a minute.

It’s a laugh a minute. Sanders wants to give everything away and Biden is doing that “I did that too” thing and Fauxahuntas is well, doing her lies.

Perhaps in the current case, there is no allegiance to any culture or religious tradition; but just to venality.

(I don’t own a house - I’m not rich like Bernie. I think Bernie should give me one of his houses, like his Communist buddies forced the rich people to do, back in Old Russia.)

That what I can’t understand. “Never again!” they scream after the holocaust, and yet vote for Socialists that wouldnt hesitate finishing the job! Only Jews worth a dam are in Israel.

No, Jews will not vote for the democrat no matter. That was yesterday’s generation. Today we have more conservative Jews than ever before and they all will vote for Trump. We know who our true friends are, and they are not the Commiecrats.
