“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.

      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.

        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.
