I can't get over how grossly hypocritical this is. He's concerned @AIPAC provides a platform for bigotry, but will literally share a stage at @ISNAHQ con w some of the worst Islamist bigots in the US, almost all of whom publicly state that the Jewish state should be eliminated.

@AIPAC @ISNAHQ Let's review @ISNAHQ's bigotry, @People4Bernie @SenSanders, shall we?

At 2018 ISNA con, your buddy @lsarsour gave a speech in which she warned the audience not to "humanize" Israelis. Who are, in fact (in case you didn't know) actual humans.

@AIPAC @ISNAHQ @People4Bernie @SenSanders @lsarsour The 2014 #ISNA con featured three Turkish regime-linked speakers, including Erdogan's senior advisor, Ibrahim Kalin.
FYI: Erdogan/ his regime routinely imprison journos, deny Turkish crimes against Armenians, & spread blood-libel-esque anti-Jewish conspiracy theories.

@AIPAC @ISNAHQ @People4Bernie @SenSanders @lsarsour At the 2017 #ISNA con, @mpvusa & @HRC were *kicked out* specifically bc of their LGBTQ- & women- focused advocacy. ISNA officials forced them to leave the con on the grounds that they "don't fit in" at the "religious, private, and family-oriented event."

@AIPAC @ISNAHQ @People4Bernie @SenSanders @lsarsour @mpvusa @HRC #ISNA's 2018 'West Coast Ed Forum' honored overtly anti-Semitic Yahia Abdul-Rahman, who posts “The Ugly Truth” content (a website that describes itself as “intelligent ‘anti-Semitism’ for thinking Gentiles”) & Muslim Brotherhood conspiracies saying Egyptian prez Sisi is Jewish.

@AIPAC @ISNAHQ @People4Bernie @SenSanders @lsarsour @mpvusa @HRC The 2017 #ISNAcon hosted @muzammilsiddiqi, its former president, who, in an interview published on the ISNA site, called being gay a "moral corruption," & explicitly stated that he supports laws in countries that execute #LGBTQ.

Are these examples not "bigotry", @BernieSanders?

@AIPAC @ISNAHQ @People4Bernie @SenSanders @lsarsour @mpvusa @HRC @muzammilsiddiqi @BernieSanders Let's also remember that one of ISNA's high-level officials, Pervez Nasim, approvingly posted the Holocaust denier Ken OKeefe's rants claiming that Israel created ISIS to help it take over the Middle East.
