FEEL THE BERN:  Sanders chooses two virulently anti-Israel activists to put on the DNC platform committee, Betsy Newmark writes, quoting extensively from Charles Krauthammer’s latest column, before concluding:

Sanders’ choices say a lot about him and what he believes. They also say a lot about what the left wing of the Democratic Party believe about Israel. Good is bad and bad is good. Terrorism is acceptable if it is aimed at Jews in Israel. That the DNC accepted these two men to be on their platform committee tells us where the party is headed and how it is abdicated the long-held support of Israel begun when Harry Truman, no Jew-lover, was the first national leader to extend recognition of the new state.

For the left, terrorism is also acceptable domestically if it’s aimed at opponents guilty of doubleplus ungood oldthink. Neither is all that new a development, but the clarity at least is a welcome change.
