and he opposes diplomacy with Iran, which is the dominant position of Israeli voters.

There is nothing in his positions or the GOP platform that could possibly lead to a disagreement with any Israeli government.

Israel had a friend in Obama and they hate him for it. They prefer an enabler which is what Trump is offering.

Also, Sanders appointed Zogby and Cornel West to the DNC Platform Committee.
