The American activist of Palestinian descent, Linda Sarsour, declared her support for the upcoming US presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, even though he is of Jewish faith. Sarsour said that Sanders believes in the right of the Palestinians, and believes in a foreign policy of the United States of America that treats the Palestinians as human beings who deserve to decide their own fate. Sanders won the votes of Muslims with his policy since his candidacy for the US presidential elections in 2016, as he was Clinton's opponent who supported the war in Iraq, while Sanders opposed it, and also showed his interest in defending the Muslim community and opposing the stories that Trump publishes about them, as Trump claimed in December 2015, that New Jersey Muslims rejoice in the 9/11 attacks, and Sanders criticized Trump, describing him as suffering from "pathological lying."
Another thing Sanders did that made him famous is talking about the Palestinians as human beings, as he told attendees at a debate with Clinton in April 2016 that if we want to achieve peace in the Middle East, "we will have to treat the Palestinian people with respect and dignity." Sanders responded to Trump's decision to ban travel, which negatively affected the Muslim community, saying it was "a racist and anti-Islam attempt aimed at dividing us." At the meeting that took place on Saturday, August 31, 2019, Sanders renewed his commitment to cancel this measure if he is elected president, adding, "We must speak openly about hate crimes and violence against the Muslim community and call it by its real name, which is domestic terrorism
The presidential candidate for the American elections, Bernie Sanders, participated in the 56th annual conference of the Islamic Society of North America, which began in August and lasted for three days, and delivered a speech there. In addition, he did not participate in the annual conference of the pro-Israel lobby in the United States of America, "AIPAC". Sanders introduced the public to his presidential campaign manager Faiz Shaker, the first Muslim to run a major presidential campaign in the United States. Faiz Shaker, 39, is an American political activist of Pakistani descent. He is also the political director of the American Civil Liberties Union. "I am here because I believe in the concept of solidarity and we all need, regardless of where we come from or what our background is, to stand together in the struggle for justice and human rights," Sanders said at the conference
