In response to the recent aggressive U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian general Soleimani, the only presidential candidate who has taken concrete action to prevent war with Iran is Sen. Bernie Sanders.

He has also consistently voted against war in the Middle East, starting in 1991 with the Gulf War.

As a Jewish-American whose family fled the Holocaust, and whose candidacy has been endorsed by both Jewish and Muslim-Americans across America, Sanders is uniquely qualified to bring lasting peace to the Middle East.

Ending our wars will free up funding for social programs, such as Medicare For All, that will improve the lives of all Americans.

Your vote for Bernie Sanders in the California primary election on March 3 is a vote for peace and prosperity for America!
