So about the anti semitism crap

4. Bernie's record is solid

he's an American citizen of the Jewish faith. He is not an Israeli. He wants a 2-state solution, he opposed the Republican-inspired letter to Iran, he did not agree with the House when it sent an invitation to Netanyahu to address the assembly, and he did not attend when Netanyahu came to Washington, invited by Boehner, and instead, backed our President, who also did not attend. This has to be worked into an ad somehow.

This is something that bothers me deeply. I don't presently have any contact with Jewish people, but did many years ago, both as friends and as employers, and I liked them. Most if not all have died, some moved far away to CA.

There are anti-Semitic people who judge all Jews by the behavior of some (Koch's for one, Netanyahu for another), but I think there are enough gentiles and Jews who agree with Bernie that he can jump that hurdle. Kennedy did it with Catholics, who were another heavily prejudiced group.

Gee I hope he succeeds... My brain wants him, my heart wants Biden, and both of me think O'Malley is a good man too.
