Obviously.
You don’t go to AIPAC when your campaign manager, surrogates and volunteers violently hate Israel. But Bernie did initially say he might go, and then the people actually running his campaign, pulled him into a closet, and explained to him why he can’t go.
Then they gave him his pills.
And here’s Bernie!
“The Israeli people have the right to live in peace and security. So do the Palestinian people. I remain concerned about the platform AIPAC provides for leaders who express bigotry and oppose basic Palestinian rights. For that reason I will not attend their conference,” he wrote.
Basic Palestinian rights being the right to kill Jews.
But Bernie did go to ISNA where there are plenty of supporters of killing Jews, Americans, and other people Bernie hates.
Muzammil Siddiqi, ISNA’s former president who chairs its Fiqh Council, which dispenses Islamic sharia law, has assented to the death penalty for homosexuality.
At the 2019 ISNA convention, Siddiqi spoke on “Strengthening Our Connection with Allah.”
Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade Center bombing, was there at an Imam Round Table. Wahhaj has repeatedly endorsed violence against non-Muslims. That wouldn’t bother Democrats, but Wahhaj has also declared that “masculine women” are “cursed”, claimed that the “feminist movement” is headed by “lesbians” and then offered a reminder of Islam’s LGBT position.
“And you know, brothers and sisters, you know what the punishment is, if a man is found with another man? The Prophet Mohammad said the one who does it and the one to whom it is done to, kill them both,” Imam Wahhaj said.
The ISNA presidential forum was moderated by Salam Al-Marayati, the head of MPAC, who had defended Hamas and Hezbollah, and justified Hezbollah’s mass murder of Marines in Lebanon.
“I believe in the concept of solidarity,” Senator Bernie Sanders began his speech to an unindicted co-conspirator in funding the murder of Jews. He vowed that he would “forcefully combat this virulent ideology of racism and hatred” at a convention with speakers who had endorsed the murder of gays.
This is what Bernie is okay with.
Jews defending themselves against Hamas? Those are “basic Palestinian rights”. And Bernie’s not okay with that.
No Muzzies Here says
It’s about which group will give Bernie the most support. Bernie knows that the number of Muslims is growing at a rapid clip, and that he can guarantee Muslim votes by showing hatred for Jews.
James Lincoln says
No Muzzies Here says,
“Bernie knows that the number of Muslims is growing at a rapid clip, and that he can guarantee Muslim votes by showing hatred for Jews.”
A true statement, but how twisted…
gravenimage says
I think Bernie’s antisemitism predates the influx of ravening Muslims into the US.
James Lincoln says
True enough, gravenimage.
His antisemitism is more on “display” due to his prominence in the Democratic polls – and this view is also surprisingly supported by a significant percentage of the left.
By the way, you stated in a prior post that you have been a Jihad Watch supporter for around 15 years.
Congratulations – and thank you for your very valued contributions to this website. I try to read all of your posts…
mortimer says
Agree in congratulating GI for a long-term support.
Disagree that Bernie is ‘anti-Semitic’. Sanders: “I am very proud to be Jewish, and being Jewish is so much of what I am.”
Bernie seems to have only the smallest support for Israel, because that isn’t the agenda of the neo-Marxist church that is his true religion. Bernie is no doubt lukewarm to his Jewish heritage. He is a secularist and internationalist. He is a devout Trotskyist, if any religion must be assigned to him. That is not the same as anti-Semitic. Bernie has made comments opposed to basic Christian teachings … particularly the teaching of exclusivity of Christian faith for salvation … that he finds intolerable and un-American. Bernie has not condemned Islam in the way he condemned Christianity. Islam is religiously and politically exclusive, but Bernie didn’t notice that because his Marxist ‘church’ doesn’t care to notice it.
James Lincoln says
A thought-provoking reply, mortimer.
I’ll do a little more digging into Bernie’s “religion”…
mortimer says
Reply to JL: Thanks.
I believe the MAIN PROBLEM with Bernie is his ignorance of RELIGION … namely, that he doesn’t understand ANY RELIGION, even Judaism which is WELDED TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL. He doesn’t get it. The whole Bible is very nationalistic and pro-Israel. I think he is generally anti-religious and opposed to organized religion on principle as a Marxist. Once in power, Bernie would certainly oppose the expression of faith in public and he would hire people who shared his anti-religious attitude.
Bernie doesn’t understand ISLAM either … nor Christianity. He is willing to condemn those Jews who want a homeland and to condemn Christians who believe that salvation is exclusive to Christian faith, but HE WILL NOT UTTER A SINGLE WORD TO CONDEMN ISLAMIC SUPREMACISM, TERRORISM or MISOGYNY … because he knows nothing about it and needs to remain ignorant. Marxists like him need Islam as an ally to defeat Judeo-Christian culture and implement godless communism. Bernie is religiously a semi-illiterate and only partly literate with respect to the tradition he comes from.

Can’t do any better than gravenimage, James. She’s a treasure here—and one with a ruthless pursuit of the truth and I mean this as a total compliment.
The truth, after all, should be pursued ruthlessly. Less than this only compromises truth.
mortimer says
To James Lincoln: since you wish more information, here is an excellent discussion of Bernie’s beliefs: https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/lori-arnold/things-christians-should-know-about-the-faith-of-bernie-sanders.html
5 Things Christians Should Know about the Faith of Bernie Sanders
Wellington says
Thanks, mortimer, for that link.
Well, particularly the fourth and fifth points mentioned, i.e., that Crazy Bernie thinks that Islam values the same things as other major religions do and that Pope Francis is a great and wonderful guy, just reveals once again what an effing fool this transplanted New Yorker to Vermont really is.
You know, sometimes Crazy Bernie is more loathsome than he is foolish and yet at other times he comes across as more foolish than loathsome. Close call indeed many times.
James Lincoln says
Yes, mortimer, thanks for the link – very informative.
gravenimage says
Thank you, James, Mortimer, and Wellington.
I consider you to be three of the finest posters here at Jihad Watch, so this means a great deal to me.
Donovan Nuera says
Wahhaj’s son was also that jihadi who set up that terror cell ramshackle compound on that isolated ranch in Texas where they found that dead child and abused kids. They were planning a school massacre. The compound was razed by the Feds very quickly before it was forensically searched. Not a lot of updates on that case.
Donovan Nuera says
Correction: The bunker was in Amalia, New Mexico. No new updates since the group of 5 jihadists were indicted on new terrorism charges in March 2019. You would think that this group which had starved 11 of their own kids and let 1 die would be in the news all the time like that odd cultish couple in California who imprisoned their large family in their house fir years….
gravenimage says
Yes–very disturbing. And there seem to be other such compounds in the US.
mortimer says
DN mentions an example of horrifying jihadic child abuse that the media tried to hide.
Boromir's Horn says
Just the fact that he made the “cut” in the primaries should be a head-scratcher. That he’s actually *leading* the Democratic party bodes poorly for America’s future. It’s just a matter of time before minorities that buy into
the “free stuff: good” philosophy, outnumber the taxpayers that pay for the “free stuff”. There’s only one way ends well: honest educators. Until the educational system rids itself of it’s “progressive” one sided positions, takes an honest look at history, and stops making the “white capitalist” the escape goat for every grievance ever, it will be White House Down very soon.
Reverend Paul Robinson says
Where I live White people are a minority, and I’m white disabled as a result of a criminal attack that the police refused to even go after the perp. I’ve lost most of my faith in this country a long time ago and there are many like me. If things are going to change for the better it is going to need people be treated equally and have police that are more concerned with public safety instead of convictions and getting money and property off of people. I really don’t care if people are getting stoned, even though I personally can’t stand the feeling. As long as there are not people stealing or harming others I don’t see the problem. Many things should be legalized instead of needing a permit for everything these days.
It is very sad when the average honest person has to fear both the criminals and the police, as there is nobody out to protect or help us when we need help. Even the SSA does not help most that need help, as many die before they are able to get the help they need.
gravenimage says
So sorry this happened to you. This injustice is grimly not uncommon.
James Lincoln says
Reverend Paul Robinson,
The Social Security Disability Insurance SSDI system can be very difficult to navigate.
Best to work with a physician/attorney team that is very familiar with the process.
Using this approach, I have helped a significant number of patients obtain the benefits that they legitimately should receive.
Best wishes and God bless.
Rarely says
I wouldn’t be surprised if Bernie had a rude awakening one of these days. It won’t be pleasant for him.
James Lincoln says
Rarely,
A rude awakening is theoretically possible, but I doubt it.
As Billy Joel once sang: “and he’ll go to his grave as an angry old man…”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2iNLt_hUZg
Rarely says
You’re most likely correct.
Wellington says
Seconded. I think James Lincoln is eminently correct. If you are still a fool in your late seventies, you have virtually zero chance of not dying a fool.
gravenimage says
Sadly true. I *do* believe that people can change–I’ve experienced it firsthand–but if you’ve reached Bernie’s age and are still an Islamophilic Socialist antisemite, the chances for finally developing wisdom are not great.
James says
Bernie is sort of a political candidate you support when you want to signal enormous idealism and desire to aid oppressed people. But the people he supports are arbitrarily chosen and the outcome of their political efforts would not be good for anyone.
James Lincoln says
James,
Sounds a lot like “pathological altruism”…
mortimer says
Agree with JL : “pathological altruism” … Bernie has a pathological faith in Marxism even though communism is ‘the god that failed’.

“I believe in the concept of solidarity.”
This is a nothing statement; it is devoid of meaning. Fitting since Bernie Sanders is a nothing and devoid of meaning. And thus (shudder) imagine this man becoming President of the United States.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
If Bernie Sanders actually becomes President of the United States, it’s game over.
In a couple of years, he will permanently undo all of the great progress that Pres. Trump has done for our country.
He will surround himself with like-minded people. The Wall will come down, the stock market / 401(K)s will crash, and we’ll be flooded with muslim migrants, etc. And that’s just for starters.
A Sanders “derangement syndrome” will actually be justified – unlike Pres. Trump..
The USA will likely fall fast – and hard…
Wellington says
Fine post, James. A nightmare scenario indeed.
What bothers me most of all is that one of the two major political parties in America is actually on the verge of having this old loon as their nominee for President. The ultimate menace here isn’t Crazy Bernie but what has happened to the Democratic Party.
James Lincoln says
Thank you for the compliment, Wellington.
E T says
Wellington, I have a hard time thinking about the number of fools who support this man. He is dangerous, he is old enough to remember how Castro promised democracy to the Cuban people and with in days of taking over, appointed Che Guevara, head of the death squads, threw Cubans off their own land, and terrorized the Cuban people. When Fidel Castro died he had over 990 millions dollars, the people of Cuba money. He was a madman, evil and a tyrant. Justine Trudeau often lectures the Canadian people on what a wonder Castro was. He is similar to Bernie, a damn stupid liar.
Pay attention to the number of Muslim groups who are supporting this bloody fool of a traitor.
gravenimage says
This would be an absolute disaster–even among the current uninspiring (or worse) lineup of Dem candidates, Bernie stands out as one of the absolute worst–perhaps the worst.
Wellington says
With you, ET. The “main problem” is not the old fool, Crazy Bernie, but the fact, as you indicated, all those supporting this old fool.
As for Castro, I have long referred to him as a serial killer on a national scale. Che Guevara was a total psychopath. Crazy Bernie is out to lunch here.
Giacomo Latta says
Solidarity is when you agree with my left wing stand. Division is when you don’t, and that is all your fault.
David says
Bernie Sanders was born on 8th Sept. 1941. If he was elected, he would therefore be 79 years and 4 months old at his inauguration, making him by far the oldest President ever.
Ronald Reagan was just shy of his 78th birthday when he completed his second term.
Bernie Sanders would be in his 80s for most of his presidency.
Whilst he might be mentally sharp, would he have the energy and stamina to do the job of President properly?
Who will really be running things behind the scenes when you have a geriatric, figurehead President?
If Bernie Sanders was elected, his choice of Vice President will be very important, as the Vice President will probably become President, when Bernie Sanders almost inevitably dies in office
gravenimage says
His age is the least of it–it would actually be worse if he has lots of energy to implement his catastrophic plans.

Bernie Sanders Went to ISNA Convention with Supporters of Killing Gays, Won’t Go To AIPAC
…………………….
Moral insanity. I can’t believe this creep is the Dem front-runner.
Wellington says
I think your choice of “creep,” is an optimal one, gravenimage. He is an enabler of evil and this is worse than just your standard foolhardiness.
Yeah, it makes a person a creep. Like Crazy Bernie.
gravenimage says
Yes–he is worse than someone who is terminally naive as are many.

A few linguistic facts.
