12. I'm confused as to why you think Bernie voters are antisemitic

Why would we be Jewish and vote for someone Jewish and hate Jews?

I understand more of us vote for Hillary than Bernie. But, that doesn't make Bernie voters anti-Semitic.

Did you hear the joke about the Jewish man who spent years shipwrecked alone on a desert island?

When he was rescued he gave his rescuers a tour of the island. He showed them the home he built and where he ate and then he showed them his synagogue. Then he pointed to another building nearby and they asked what it was. He said "That's the other synagogue. That one is no good. I would never go there".

So I guess what I am saying is that many of us Jews are voting for Bernie and have a very strong dislike for DWS. There are also many Jewish people that support Hillary and DWS. They outnumber us. But, we exist and our opinions count, too. We Jews have diverse opinions.
