THREAD: It's been one of the deadliest weeks since Israel began its genocide in Gaza 9 months ago. Dozens of Palestinian civilians have been killed, and it's only Wednesday.

Massive protest in cannon the day before the ⁦Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו⁩ address.

In a room full of evil, greed and cowardice, Rashida Tlaib’s dignity, principle and courage shines so powerfully. We love you and stand behind you.

“Cori Bush stands for you, regardless of whether you stand for her.” One of MANY reasons why we’re proud to be Jews for Cori Bush.

Cori Bush came to congress as a Ferguson protester. The 10-year anniversary of Mike Brown’s death is Friday, and tonight, she lost her seat in Congress—because she brought those same values beyond St. Louis and called for a ceasefire in Gaza. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

“President Biden, you’re lying to us when you say you’re working for a ceasefire, but you are sending more and more bombs that are blowing up babies into a million little pieces." - Abbas Alawieh, DNC Delegate Michigan, Uncommitted National Movement 🌺 "Is it unreasonable for us to ask, on behalf

As the organization that is home to the largest Jewish effort focused on US democracy, and as guests of the DNC, our base expects to see both Palestinian Americans and Jewish Americans represent their families on the main stage.

.Democratic Party: Why are you saying that Israeli children are more valuable than Palestinian children? Where is our shared humanity? Stop erasing Palestinians. We exist. We deserve to be heard.

The uncommitted request, to have a vetted Palestinian speaker give a vetted speech, is at once extremely modest and also apparently too much for the DNC. Running out of time for this demand to be met.

After calling Harris team in front of press, Uncommitted’s Abbas Alawieh says he’ll sit in protest: “I just intend to stay here until I get a call from the DNC telling me that they won't suppress the voices of Palestinian children, that they will accept our very humble request…”

The Democratic Party’s decision to refuse a Palestinian speaker — on a night where Israeli speakers got a platform — reveals their refusal to see Palestinian lives as equal to Israeli lives. Shame. Solidarity with the Uncommitted Delegates taking action right now.

There are two very different stories unfolding at the DNC this week. And tonight, while holding its national convention in a city with one of the largest Palestinian populations in the country, the DNC has refused requests to allow a Palestinian speaker on the convention stage

Uncommitted delegates stage a sit in at #DNC. They risk arrest. They have been silenced, gaslit, & maligned by the party theyre supposed 2 be a part of. Now they may be subject 2 police force.All their counterparts got time on the stage. This is the stage they made 4 themselves.

"The family of the Israeli hostage that was on the stage tonight has shown more empathy towards Palestinian Americans and Palestinians than our candidate or the DNC has."

If we want the war in Gaza to end, we can’t put our heads in the sand or ignore the voices of the Palestinian Americans in the Democratic Party. If we want peace, if we want real democracy, and if we want to win this election, the Democratic Party must allow a Palestinian

Harris speaks of Palestinians like they're victims of a natural disaster (their suffering is "heartbreaking"), rather than victims of ongoing US-backed atrocities. She does so while promising unrelenting military backing for the government killing them. Shame. #DNC2024

Palestinians deserve so so so much better than the scraps of garbage this party applauds itself for kicking to them. So many leaders relived their trauma this week, bit their tongues, tempered their voices to fight a powerful inside game, and I truly don’t know how they did it.

An illuminating reminder about what we lose in these $20 million Democratic primaries. The money unseated an abortion rights champion & Congresswoman who led the charge to repeal Trump's basis for a national abortion ban & elected an empty suit who doesn't even know what it is.

Israel committed one its largest massacres in Gaza in the so-called “humanitarian zone” Al-Mawasi. Using American-made 2,000-pound bombs, Israel wiped out families seeking refuge. US tax dollars are funding these weapons, directly enabling Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

Can’t stop thinking about the crater in the earth of Gaza and the Palestinian families turned to dust yesterday, made possible by the giant bombs sent to Israel by the “most lethal fighting force in the world.”
