The Senate is warning Palestinians against undertaking any negative unilateral actions re Israel at the United Nations, and look who isnt signing on to the letter that AIPAC has endorsed: Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. Folks have been pressing Warren and her staffers not to sign this letter and she didnt. Neither did Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Maybe the national publicity and pressure on these progressives over their Israel-Palestine positions moved them? Maybe theyre tacking ahead of 2016? Here are the 12 non-signers, from both parties:
Bernard Sanders (I), Bob Corker (R), Elizabeth Warren (D), Harry Reid*, Jeff Sessions (R), John D. Rockefeller IV*, Lisa Murkowski (R), Patrick J. Leahy* (D), Rand Paul (R), Tammy Baldwin (D), Tom Coburn (R), Tom Harkin* (D).

Being Jewish I didn't know what his stance on the Palestinians would be, but this is great. I don't think I've heard a single thing about Bernie Sanders that I haven't liked.
