“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.
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?
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. 🙄
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 🤨
You made the claim it’s “the most important issue of the election.” When asked which Republican you could name that supports Palestine, you deflected and brought in a red herring. Red herrings are the goalpost, sliding along.
