OPINION: Mississippi Women's Activist - Bernie Sanders Can't Come to the Cookout

150. You keep making this rather bogus claim that has no basis in reality

I understand anti-semitism. My son was called the K word at a scouting event coming out of the Jewish Committee on Scouting event. I have three partners who are on the board of our chapter of the ADL. We had to deal with the sole Jewish family in Santa Fe Texas (which is a sundown town-look this term up) because they were accused of being the John Doe plaintiffs in a school prayer case that went to the SCOTUS. The Santa Fe case is still good law of school prayer. The actual plaintiffs in that case were three Catholic families but that did not stop the local idiots from forcing that family to move. One of my good friend's child was targeted by a school sanctioned club that was convinced that they could hasten the "second" coming if they converted by friend's daughter. The teacher in charge of the club was not happy when the ADL legal team visited the school. Go look up the town of Vidor. The town of Pasadena. Texas used to have a KKK bookstore that I saw when I was in college. I have seen anti-semitism and it has nothing to do with white supremacy.

Jews believe in and have fought for racial justice. Jews understand the fight for racial justice and supported MLK and the Freedom Riders. I and most other Jewish voters do not agree with Sanders on this issue. I have been fortunate to hear Congressman John Lewis tell his "preaching to chickens" story four times. I was at the National Convention when Sanders delegates booed him. My whip had told me about this demonstration 15 minutes before it occurred and I was later told that Sanders was told about this planned event and refused to stop it. I still remember the JPR posters applauding this event https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/hey-john-lewis-karmas-a-mf-aint-it/

Sanders lost the Jewish vote for many reasons. You may want to look at this article to see why Sanders lost the Jewish vote https://www.jta.org/2015/09/16/news-opinion/the-telegraph/bernie-sanders-gives-rosh-hashanah-speech-at-evangelical-university During the breaks on Rosh Hashanah there was some real anger by members of my congregation towards Sanders.

Are the majority of Jews who voted against Sanders anti-semites in your strange world? Attacking good democrats who disagree with Sanders and calling these good democrats names is dumb. Again 80+% of the Jewish delegates to the national convention did not support sanders and were called bad Jews by a Sanders supporters who was clearly not Jewish (he was wearing an large cross on the front of his shirt). Hint, that cross was a hint as to how he and many of his fellow sanders supporters felt about my Jewish delegates.

You have made this same attack on other threads. Disagreeing with Sanders is not being anti-semitic. Please stop making this bogus attack.
