JVL Introduction

We Arab Americans and Muslims Are Voting for Bernie. Because He's Jewish
Nominating the old Jewish guy comes naturally to us voters in the Arab Disneyland of Dearborn, Michigan – and people like us across America

I agree with everything , but enough with the plastic on furniture.
Amer Zahr comments and support of Bernie Sanders have delighted me for their humour, common sense and humanity, and I am an atheist!
Amer’s quotation of Bernie Sanders: “To be for the Israeli people and to be for peace in the Middle East does not mean that we have to support right-wing racist governments that currently exist in Israel.” reminds me of the Labour witch hunt of suspending members who label Israel as a racist government.
Brilliant. Amer Zahr made me laugh and it was so uplifting to hear about this campaign between ‘cousins’. Let’s just hope Bernie wins to transform the USA for the better.
Says it all – justice for all.
It’s great to read something funny and optimistic on the JVL website – just what we need in these hard times!
I love this – esp the jokes xxxxx
