“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.
Kamala made an official statmeent that she will keep delivering bombs to israel for Genocide if she is elected.
Source.
“As I have said repeatedly since October 7th, Israel has a right to defend itself. And President Joe Biden and I are unwavering in our commitment to Israel’s security.”
She is a collaborator. Everyone who backs her is complicit.
“I will repeat: The threat of — Hamas poses to the people of Israel must be eliminated.”
Advocation of the destruction of the only thing preventing Israel’s Lebensraum. Destruction of the only thing in the way of keeping what happened to the Native Amerikan tribes and the New Afrikan nation from happening to Palestine too.
I pray I get to watch your country collapse in ways that even youtubers couldn’t talk about it for fear of demonetization. I pray you collapse nameless.
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
We have no constraints on Israel for international law or any other kind of law, in fact, we run interference for them when it comes to UN Resolutions through our veto power.
The analogy I like using is that Israel is the bratty little kid on the playground who feels he can do anything “because my big brother will beat you up!”
It will continue until someone breaks the little shits nose regardless of consequences.
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
And of course the new DNC platform matches this
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.
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?
Sending weapons != “please use these for genocide”. Try again.
The weapons are unconditional. Therefore they are okay for them being used in any way Israeli regime deems fit.
That doesn’t mean they have stated they support genocidal action.
My kid was going through a bad patch and asked me to hold on to his gun for him. If I had used that to rob a bank, he would not be complicit in bank robbery.
Sounds like she has my vote then.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ah, so Bibi had no intention of a crease fire, so Donny boy interfering is perfectly acceptable. You really do care about Palestine. It’s so obvious.
“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
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
What’s your take on this?
And I’m sure you noticed the trump quote in the article:
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.
Sounds like he should go to jail maybe you should forward it to the police instead of me.
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.
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.
Removed by mod
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.
Math is hard. You do plus.
Lying is easy. That’s why you prefer it.
Democrats don’t move me because I don’t believe a goddamn thing they say anymore. Those genociders are no better than Republicans; in fact, they’re worse! At least the Republican will look me in the eye as he slips the Long Knife between my ribs.
