Matt Brooks: Bernie victory would move US from 'most pro-Israel president' to 'first enemy of Israel'

Matt Brooks, the executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, reacted on Tuesday to Sen. Bernie Sanders’ decision to skip the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference next month in Washington, saying “we really run the risk in this election of transitioning from the most pro-Israel president ever” to “the first enemy of Israel ever in the White House.” สมัครสมาชิกยูฟ่าเบท

Brooks made the comments on “Fox and Friends First” on Tuesday, two days after AIPAC called out Sanders, who appears to be the clear front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, for his decision to miss the conference. Sanders said he would not attend because he claims the group provides a platform for leaders to "express bigotry" and oppose basic Palestinian rights. UFABETเว็บไหนดี 

“I think that this is part of a long-standing history with Bernie Sanders about his antagonism and hostility not just to Israel, but to the American Jewish community,” Brooks said on Tuesday about Sanders, who is Jewish.

“He has never attended an AIPAC policy conference, whereas many of his colleagues in the Democratic Party have attended in the past,” he noted.

“More troubling is his views on Israel,” Brooks said. “He’s willing to speak to radical progressive left-wing organizations like [liberal Jewish lobbying firm] J Street and others and condemns [Israel’s Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu as being a racist.”

J Street bills itself as the voice for "pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans," and is often critical of Israel's policies in the process.
