Wiki wrote:Bernard Sanders was born on September 8, 1941, in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. His father, Elias Sanders, was born in Słopnice, Poland (then in the Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia), to a Jewish family; in 1927 he emigrated to the United States at the age of 17. His mother, Dorothy Sanders (née Glassberg), was born in New York City on October 2, 1912, to Jewish immigrant parents from Poland and Russia. Many of Eli's relatives who remained in Poland were killed in the Holocaust.

Sanders has said that he became interested in politics at an early age: "A guy named Adolf Hitler won an election in 1932. He won an election, and 50 million people died as a result of that election in World War II, including 6 million Jews. So what I learned as a little kid is that politics is, in fact, very important."

...

Sanders has rarely spoken about religion and has avoided directly answering or downplayed questions about it. He has stated he is "not particularly religious" and "not actively involved" with organized religion. He has been described as a "secular Jew who does not practice any religion" and a "secular Jew" who lacks "God talk", and he has called himself a "secular Jew without strong ties to organized religion". A press package issued by his office states, without elaboration, "Religion: Jewish", while the Washington Post describes him as potentially "one of the few modern presidents to present himself as not religious."
You'd think my (NYC Jewish) in-laws would be more pro-Bernie. They ain't. So much for the grand "Jewish Conspiracy." :roll:

Yeah, I came up with that while stoned on painkillers and the whole "Kind of the Jews" and Bernie being Jew-ish just clicked.
