In 2016 Sanders appointed as his Jewish outreach co-cordinator Simone Zimmerman. In 2018

Sanders national deputy press secretary Belén Sisa, questioned American Jews’ 'dual allegiance' to Israel on FB, then apologized, and removed the post.

In 2016 Sanders had an interview with the nydailynews

For someone running for President, besides his sound bites and generalities, I am not impressed by his decision making capabilities where you would expect someone running for President to build unity between Democrats. I do not see that happening with his appointment of David Sirota, Nina Turner, and Briahna Joy Gray to high positions in his campaign, all who voted for Jill Stein, and encouraged others to do likewise, up to and including the day before the general election.

In my view Sanders has given every indication that he is NOT the person to unite the Democratic party

dividing is part of his strategy in hopes to get the nomination through a brokered convention

and will distance him from the very voters he needs to win. So, imho, he either isn't serious about winning/it's about the money or he has poor judgment which would disqualify him from being what the country needs.

if he was president because they supported him so that's a reason in itself to support him.
