Though the Uncommitted movement is lobbying to get a Palestinian American on the main stage, the Harris campaign has not yet approved one. Will there be a change before Thursdayāand does the Democratic Party want that?
Every single Palestinian American has either had their parents/grandparents displaced, or were displaced themselves, by the 75 year occupation since the Nakba. They are intimately connected to the genocide. Thatās like saying we shouldnāt do anything about the Holocaust because Jewish Americans arenāt a big voting bloc.
Note, I said I am supportive of divesting from Israel. Expecting a speaking position at the DNC just because your people are at war is itself not ādoing anythingā though.
I remember the genocides in Rawanda, Yugoslavia, SE Asia, Darfur which has resumed again. Uyghers. They didnāt get speaking positions.
Stop the genocide, yes. Make Palestinians special, no.
Did the US fund those genocides? Biden caused millions of Americans to drop their support of Democrats because he intentionally joined one side in a war AND explicitly insulted Palestinians and their supporters, and the party desperately needs to get them back in order to beat Trump.
Nate Silver gives Trump a 46.9% chance of winning in November. Harris is reclaiming many of those voters who couldnāt support Biden, but she needs to do more instead of belittling pro-Palestine supporters.
