he favors a 2 state solution. As a peace-loving Jew I applaud his views on the subject. And he knows what he is talking about - he lived on a kibbutz in Israel for awhile in the 60's and most of his father's family was wiped out by the Holocaust. Somehow, however, the big Jewish groups in America have stood behind Hillary. Perhaps they like her stance on wanting to "obliterate Iran".

Imo, Bernie's a mensch and he would make an amazing president.
