“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.
Both AOC and Reverend Warnock made Gaza key pieces of their speeches on Monday delivered to 20 million viewers:

If Warnock didn’t move you then you aren’t human.
Biden too:

Bernie Sanders hit it again tonight:
Wow what a beautiful speech. AOC even mentions Kamala “working tirelessly to bring a ceasefire to Gaza”…
Right after the Biden admin approved $24 Billion in arms shipments to israel.
Can you timestamp the moment in that video where they bring up putting an arms embargo on israel? Lip service just doesn’t hit the same after 10 months of Genocide.
The Vice President has no say in what the Administration does or doesn’t do. Unless it comes to a 50/50 tie in the Senate, she has no real power at this point.
Gutless shill. “The party’s nominee to the office of president (the de facto leader of the party) has zero say in their current policies”
The excuses are becoming as offensive as the genocide itself.
Correct. As Vice President, her job is to step in if Biden can’t continue and break ties in the Senate, that’s it.
She has made statements on self determination and a two state solution, but she will not run counter to the current administration.

Reading your feckless dodge to my point and playing the theme of The West Wing in crescendo
“the party” lol
What dialectical materialism does to a mfer
not sure what you’re on about but it’s sure to be stupid as shit
You’re worried about the genocide? So I’m sure you’ll have strong feelings about this?
Only an ever growing disgust at liberals looking for literally any excuse to blame people not in power for the actions of their preferred leaders, who are in power.

I don’t honestly believe nor give a shit about this because
-
Bibi is never going to willingly agree to an actual end to the genocide in the first place so anyone making this a center of attention is just fucking dumb. Like real fucking dumb. A credulous rube with zero critical thinking skills or long term memory.
- Bibi is in power.
- I’m not “liberal.”
- I doubt you give two fucks about genocide or Palestine if you’re not concerned that Trump is possibly
BLOCKING A CEASEFIRE.
See? I can do lists too.
No really you have the brain of a fish. You see a shiny object and you bite on it without question. Only an idiot of the highest order could be tricked into thinking there was anything even rhetorically framed as a cease fire on the table. Having any awareness at all of Biden’s ideology and Bibi’s political situation make the idea a joke.
I doubt you give two fucks about genocide or Palestine if you’re not concerned that Trump is possibly
Your disgusting cynicism in full bloom. You literally don’t give a shit except now you have an angle to make it about your election.

Kamala made an official statmeent that she will keep delivering bombs to israel for Genocide if she is elected.
No, she did not. Your lies may fly with other people, they do not fly with me:

Nobody in the administration supports the Gazan genocide. Not Biden, not Harris.
If a state is committing an ongoing genocide, and another state routinely sends weapons to that state, they are militarily supporting that genocide. That is the reality on the ground, regardless of the rhetoric from the Biden Administration. Ending that unconditional military support is what is required to stop supporting that genocide and abide by International Law
No, they aren’t. Because that same state is under attack from state sponsored terrorism.
If they are choosing to misappropriate the support for improper purposes, that’s on them.
Kind of like when we send humanitarian aid to a country where it is immediately and illegally siezed by the government. We’re not just going to stop sending aid.
Sending Israel military aid explicitly for uses that must abide by International Law, such as to protection from Iran for example, that is conditional military aid. The Biden Administration is not doing that, they know full well that the unconditional military aid sent to Israel is being used for the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza
Saying that they support a ceasefire while simultaneously supplying unconditional military aid to a nation engaging in genocide, while it might provide some plausible deniability, is still a violation of international law and morally representable
You can lie and censor the truth with your mod powers on .World. You seem to have forgotten you can’t do that on .ml
Harris Doesn’t Support Arms Embargo on Israel, a Top Adviser Says
And of course the new DNC platform matches this
DNC 2024: New Democratic Party platform shuns US arms embargo on Israel
Show me where they support the use of weapons for genocide. It’s cool, I can wait.
Oh, you can’t because they don’t.
The weapons are unconditional. Therefore they are okay for them being used in any way Israeli regime deems fit.
It says it right in the article I linked
Unless you’re saying Biden is not sending weapons for Genocide too… Surely you’re not a Genocide denier right?
Source.
Sounds like she has my vote then.
What’s your take on this?
And I’m sure you noticed the trump quote in the article:
“From the start, Harris has worked to tie Israel’s hand behind its back, demanding an immediate ceasefire, always demanding ceasefire…which would only give Hamas time to regroup and launch a new October 7 style attack.”
Thoughts?
And where are you getting $24 billion? I’m only finding $20 Billion when i search. And that’s just mentioning a deal involving F15’s that won’t arrive until 2026. Love to see your source on that.
Also here’s the missing 3.5 billion which I rounded up to 24.
US releases $3.5 billion to Israel to spend on US weapons, military equipment
So, your $24 bil is actually $3 bil, but that’s not as eye grabbing. Just ignore the delivery date of the vast majority of your claims. Not pushing agenda at all.
US approves $20 billion in weapons sales to Israel amid threat of wider Middle East war
Math is hard. You do plus.
Lying is easy. That’s why you prefer it.
What’s your take on this?
Sounds like he should go to jail maybe you should forward it to the police instead of me.
“From the start, Harris has worked to tie Israel’s hand behind its back, demanding an immediate ceasefire, always demanding ceasefire…which would only give Hamas time to regroup and launch a new October 7 style attack.”
Trump says he was better for the economy and Biden is worse. We all know that’s fake but when it’s convenient people suddenly start parroting Trumps words as if they mean anything.
Trump calls Biden a ‘bad Palestinian’ in US presidential debate jab
So, no calls of genocide Don? “Huh, will that’s interesting.” That’s it? I thought you were against genocide in the middle east…?
If you ignore the last line in my comment you can keep typing trash. Maybe read before that.
“Yes, i will ignore allegations of my chosen one interfering in peace talks because it fouls up my intended propaganda.”

Just curious why your entire account is countless articles criticizing democrats for their Palestine stance while applying absolutely no scrutiny to republicans, despite republicans being infinitely more hardline pro-Israel?
I think it’s pretty much a given that someone who criticizes the DNC stance on Palestine is also opposed to the GOP stance. Why do they need to list out all the other horrific people when they make a critique? You’re engaging in whataboutism here.
If someone critiques the GOP for being blatantly racist, do you similarly ask them why they aren’t mentioning the KKK directly? No, it’s fucking assumed. Stop being a jackass.
This guy only posts articles calling out democrats, and does not mention republicans at all. So it’s definitely not implied that he supports one over the other. Especially when this specific line is the most popular wedge issue for conservative-aligned interests, despite once again democrats being substantially more progressive on this issue.
And whataboutism? The GOP is one of two parties in a two party system, with the other being democrats. So yes it’s natural that if you mention one party’s stance you would then also mention the other.
Also just lol at immediately responding with name calling. Btw can you name a single Republican that’s advocated for Palestine? Because I see a lot of Ds, but not a single R.
Probably because it’s the most important political issue of the election. 🙄
Sounds good. Btw can you name a single Republican who supports Palestine? I can only seem to find Democrats. Just want to know when you help the Republicans win :)
There’s a bipartisan genocide consensus.
Would you vote for genocide if it was your family being starved and tortured?
Sisterhood of the traveling goalposts, i see.
The goal post is stopping the genocide i.e. the most important issue of the election. Why does it being your family make a difference? That’s hardly a new goalpost. 🙄
Why does it being your family make a difference?
Who put these words in my mouth?
I assumed you said I was moving the goal posts because I brought your family into this. Now I have no idea what you think the goal posts even are 🤨
Because the Democrats are in power right now and are the ones responsible for the Genocide still going on. Not the Republicans.
Republicans occasionally get some posts as well. Interestingly when I post about them nobody shows up. And then they keep claiming what you’re saying right now.
Democrats control 1/3 branches of government right now and I can’t find a single article posted by you which calls out the GOP. I think you’re a troll.
Go read up on Leahy Law before commenting like you understand politics.
This is you:
Because the Democrats are in power right now and are the ones responsible for the Genocide still going on. Not the Republicans.
Democrats control the Whitehouse and the Senate, so, like 1.5 branches of government, and you’re telling someone else this? Ballsy. Not to bright, but ballsy.
Dems are there to win an election. Not to pledge support or advocate for group of foreigners whom the majority of the country they are running for reelection in do not support.
You didn’t see the same expectations for Palestinian support during the Republican convention because no one on the right gives a shit about them.
Stupid leftists. They need to understand how unpopular the Jews are in this country. We aren’t going to beat Hitler by catering to them!
I for one support a gradual sane end to slavery. In 100 years or so. Once we convince the slave owners that they’re wrong (but never ever saying so in public)
“I diagnosed you.”
Cryptic non sequiturs aren’t a personality
Oh. Oh wow. I’m… I’m just so… Wow.
That’s super deep. Got any more nuggets of wisdom?
real funny how a second ago it seemed like you gave a shit about something or wanted to make a point but when you get called ‘cryptic’ your impulse isn’t to explain it’s to go full reddit troll
Attack the person, not the idea. Literal ad hominem was duly ignored. Try actual responses instead next time, kiddo.

Oh wow. Oh. Oh. Wow. I just. Wow. A real response?
