    Yeah, Israeli Americans are much more republican leaning, but again, it's probably no more than 50/50.

    Bernie's early political teachings are that of old school labour Zionism (people forget that Israel had a socialist economic system until 1985 that was probably most similar to that of market socialist yugoslavia), but there still is a ton of Zionism imbedded in that ideology, it's why he's so in love with worker co-ops, and doesn't support BDS due to support for a 2 state solution.

    This also said, most Jews even if they support the end of palestinian occupation, do not support BDS for their call for a 1 state solution because they just think it would mean decades of civil war.
