Bernie’s AIPAC Boycott
Bernie Sanders announced Sunday that he will not attend AIPAC’s annual policy conference next week. “The Israeli people have the right to live in peace and security. So do the Palestinian people.

Clearly, pride overpowers concerns about haters just using this as another reason to hate, but the ride would be a tough one.
