WASHINGTON (JTA) — Bernie Sanders wants to make Palestinian rights more of a priority in the Democratic Party platform, according to a report.
The Washington Post reported on Friday that Sanders, the Vermont Independent Senator seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, wants to see changes to the platform to better reflect Palestinian aspirations for statehood.

Nicholson offered “heartfelt prayers and condolences” to the victim’s family.

“I don’t know why they [young people] choose to become homosexuals, but I believe it has become a trend among young people, and then it isn’t easy to remove yourself from it,” Edgarsson told local Smålänningen newspaper.
