Here is the endorsement editorial:

"We Endorse Bernie Sanders," read the headline.
The Arab paper endorses the Jewish candidate? The editorial, after a point by point explanation of why Sanders’ domestic policy, his foreign policy, and his principles are all preferable, concludes:
Even if Sanders does not succeed in winning the nomination, it is important for our community to vote for him, so he can promote his platform and communicate his ideas to the American public, taking his campaign all the way to the Democratic Convention. Between now and then, anything is possible.
Arab Americans need to stand for principles. In Sanders, we have a principled politician who is showing strength and courage in his campaign.
Vote on principles; vote for Sanders.
Your vote on March 8 could make history.
Yup. Thanks, Mr. Siblani. I couldn't have said it better myself.
