Bernie’s See-Through Jewishness

According to Jewish Law, Bernie Sanders is a Jew because he was born of a Jewish mother. Otherwise, Bernie is as Jewish as that dead prune tree in the backyard of your childhood.

He has been married to a Gentile for the last 27 years, earlier was married to a Jew for a year and a half, and has an out-of-wedlock Jewish son from relationship with a Jewish woman.

From Jewish, he does not know.

This is crucial to digest since he recently reeled off a series of ill-advised statements on Israel.

Bernie holds the same passion for the Land of Israel that I do for the Oklahoma City Democratic Club.

The other day Bernie yawned and told the friendly Los Angeles Times that he is “100 percent supportive of Israel’s right to exist.”

He has no blooming idea what that means. As a robot, he says what he is told to say.

No one publicly has asked him what his flimsy “support” means.

Then Bernie, like a true contemporary liberal, picked up his axe and began swinging.

Here comes the predictable self-loathing-Jew affirmation that I want to feel good about myself:

“But I believe,” said Bernie, clearing his throat and conscience, “that for too long our country and our government have not given the Palestinian people the respect that they need.”

Just what “respect” do terrorists merit, Bernie?

If there is to be peace between Israel and the Palestinians, Bernie says, “the Palestinian people will have to be treated with dignity and respect.”

Plainly, Bernie, a fake supporter of Israel and a nonentity during his 25 years in Congress, did not invest his vast spare time in Washington tracking years of rejected Israeli peace offers.

Time for you to go to church, Bernie my boy.
