Phil Agnew is the co-founder of Dream Defenders, which is an organization that supports and promotes the BDS (Boycott the Jews) Movement. Is there anyone in the Sanders campaign who is not a vicious anti-Semite or anti-Israel bigot? It’s no wonder Nazi flags are proudly being waved at Sanders’ rallies. Why is the mainstream media not challenging Sanders for stacking his campaign with open Jew-haters? It’s incredible. #Jexodus!

Top Sanders Surrogate: Zionism Is a ‘Racist’ Ideology
By Washington Examiner, March 6, 2020:
A top surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I., Vt.) presidential campaign claimed Zionism is a “racist” ideology and even criticized Barack Obama for saying otherwise.
Phillip Agnew, a self-proclaimed militant, was published by Ebony magazine in 2015 arguing that Zionism “is a racist, exploitative, and exclusionary ideology.”
“There is no direct line from Zionism to the Black Freedom struggle,” Agnew wrote. “No rhetorical imagination-acrobatics can conjure one, and no amount of intimidation can chart one. It is a racist, exploitative, and exclusionary ideology.”
Agnew, who also goes by Umi Selah, criticized then-president Obama for comparing the right of Jews to “have a homeland and to feel safe and free of discrimination” to African Americans having equal protection under the law. He called it a “lie” and a “figment of our well-manicured imagination.”
The Sanders campaign and Agnew did not respond to requests for comment.
Agnew’s viewpoint is out of line with even the United Nations, which has a history of heaping scorn on the Jewish state. The international body voted overwhelmingly in 1991 to revoke a statement it previously passed, saying, “Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.”
“The official count found 111 nations in favor of repealing the statement and 25 nations, mostly Islamic and hard-line Communists, voting against,” the New York Times reported at the time. “Thirteen nations abstained. Seventeen other countries, including Egypt, which recognizes Israel, and Kuwait and China, did not take part in the voting.”
Agnew is the cofounder of Dream Defenders, a group that promotes the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, which advocates an economic boycott of Israel and its people.
He officially endorsed Sanders last July and has been actively campaigning for him for several months. He spoke alongside other prominent Sanders surrogates such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and liberal filmmaker Michael Moore earlier this year in Iowa. He also introduced Sanders at a November campaign rally in Los Angeles and appeared with him in August to discuss health care and college affordability with young voters.

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT ZIONISM MEANS?
ZIONISM:
a worldwide Jewish movement that resulted in the establishment and development of the state of Israel.
NOW, LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT SOCIALISM IS:
SOCIALISM:
(in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.
Socialism ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS transitions into COMMUNISM (historically it always has) where the GOVT rules over you, rules for you, and rules against you. IT IS CALLED “KEEPING THE WORKER BEES WORKING FOR THE QUEEN (that is, IF YOU WANT TO EAT)”, and “BEING PART OF A GOVT SLAVE ASSEMBLY LINE SO THE GOVT CAN RULE OVER AND CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE WHILE THEY LIVE IN THE LIFE OF LUXURY.
You liberal people are simply STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.

Meanwhile, Bernie ignores this:
This map shows the pattern of Iranian Covid-9 cases, mostly just following the main roadways. Obviously there is no quarantine or isolation, while cases and deaths rapidly double. Compare this to Israel, where great care is taken to protect the citizenry in Israel proper, and in the Palestinian areas.

Max Bialystock would be proud. The Bernie Sanders Political Ponzi scheme marches on.
Suck as much money out of the useful idiots as possible.
Make outrageous statements to keep the hard core believers engaged while alienating actual voters
Funnel millions in campaign cash to your family-run media-buying business.
When the dust settles, and millions in Sanders campaign contributions have mysteriously disappeared down the rat hole, its unlikely he or his family members will ever be charged with embezzlement. After all who would prosecute a frail 80 year old Senator from Vermont. It’s like kicking you grandmother.
Wake up America. Bernie isn’t running for President, he’e running a business.

The complicit silence of Trump concerning the enslavement of Africans (see Wikiislam.net) in todays Saudi Arabia, while he sells missile defense-system to them makes assertions that Zionism would be racist possible.

As Trump is neither Jewish, nor, Israeli, your premise and its conclusion are illogical.

No, Pam, even though Sander`s acolytes behave like brownshirts, his and his followers philosophical exemplars were the Communists of the Lenin/Stalin era (1917-1953).

Just remember that it was a Bernie supporter who opened fire with an AR-15 on the Republican baseball practice session, wounding and almost killing US Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana.

Jesus is a Zionist and through Jesus (via baptism / mikvah) anybody can become a Zionist.
