The other two-thirds come from a half dozen posters, most of whom are I/P regulars.

Not exactly a whole lot of outrage about this. I think the majority of DU is either disinterested in the topic or in agreement with Bernie.

My own take is that it would probably be good to add a sentence to the party platform expressing the sentiments that Bernie is suggesting, but I have a feeling that won't happen.

I also don't think this is an issue of particular importance to Bernie as he rarely even mentions it in his speeches (with a few notable exceptions).

It is my belief that he has some people in his campaign who do feel strongly about this issue (on the BDS side) and are pushing Sanders to at least take something of a stand in that direction (a stance, I think, he is certainly amenable to taking).
