“What was very shocking was that while we were all in the room discussing and listening to people impacted by what’s happening in Gaza, we’re not certain that that message will get across to the people at the top of the party,” Khader added. “You look at the themes of the party’s convention – today, tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday – there’s nowhere where Palestinians are included in that narrative.”
While the platform condemned former President Donald Trump for refusing to “endorse the political aspirations of the Palestinian people,” it made no divergence from the status quo policy of vetoing UN Security Council resolutions this year that moved towards Palestinian statehood.
While the platform boasts of being opposed to settler violence, it makes no acknowledgment of the International Court of Justice finding the Israeli government’s occupation and illegal expansions of settlements constitute apartheid.
And to that end, while the platform condemns UN efforts that apparently “single out” Israel, and the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions movement for the same – apparently ignoring the historical precedent of Americans also boycotting and pushing divestment against fossil fuel companies and apartheid South Africa.
I dunno. Condemning Trump for interfering in a CEASEFIRE DEAL would be a fine start. Just cos he's "not in office" doesn't negate the effect he's having, but you're so myopic you either can't or refuse to see it.
Protesters are condemning Trump, what are you even talking about?
Commenters. Here. Calling him genocide Joe while ignoring Trump pushing to continue the genocide. It's called hypocrisy.
The genocide is being armed by genocide Joe. He's literally responsible for Israel having enough bombs to do this shit.
Trump playing his own part in this genocide is just proof that Democrats would rather lose than stop doing genocide. This genocide benefits Trump and Democrats are supporting it!
