“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.

              Wow a nazi in the middle of an extermination campaign who thinks ‘tankie’ is going to land as an insult.

                Didn’t call ya a tankie, but go ahead and don the moniker. And it’s cute you think I’m a Nazi. Really reached the end of your ability to argue quickly, didn’t we?

                  The only difference between you and a nazi are the things no one cares about. You support a genocide; you are a nazi.

                  Really reached the end of your ability to argue quickly, didn’t we?

                    That is a surprising amount of self reflection. I didn’t know you had it in you. Admitting it is the first step on the road to recovery!

                    The only difference between you and a nazi are the things no one cares about.

                    Aw. So you’re not coming to my birthday? Pity.

                    And to wrap up this delightful tête-à-tête, please, cite where I’ve supported a genocide. Shouldn’t be hard for a stunning intellect such as yourself.
