‘Uncommitted’ Furious at DNC for Israeli Hostage Speakers, but No Palestinian Voices
Breitbart ^ | August 22, 2024 | Joel B. Pollak

The “Uncommitted” movement, which has threatened to withhold votes from Vice President Kamala Harris unless she promises to end U.S. support for Israel, is furious at Democrats for allowing Israeli speakers but not Palestinians.

The Democratic National Convention heard a moving speech on Wednesday evening from Ron Polin and Rachel Goldberg, the American-Israeli parents of hostage Hersh-Goldberg Polin, 23. Like the delegates at the Republican National Convention in July, who heard from the parents of American-Israeli hostage Omer Neutra, Democrats welcomed the hostage family and gave them a standing ovation, chanting “Bring them home! Bring them home!”

But the “Uncommitted” movement, while supporting the appearance of the hostage family, was furious that the Democratic National Convention did not also allow a Palestinian speaker to talk about the ongoing war in Gaza.

CommonDreams.org reported:

While welcoming a scheduled Democratic National Convention speech by the Israeli-American parents of a young man kidnapped in Israel by Hamas militants on October 7, the co-founders of the Uncommitted National Movement on Wednesday implored the DNC to ensure that Palestinian voices are also heard on the event’s main stage.

I’m glad to hear the audience chanted “bring them home” I don’t trust the leaders sincerity but I like to think the average Democrat has at least a small amount of decency…

I can’t imagine why any Jew would support the anti-Semitic Democrat party. The same party that supported appeasement of southern succession and slavery during the civil war.

The Democrat party is, and always has been inherently racist.

“I can’t imagine why any Jew would support the anti-Semitic Democrat party.”

Because the Jews still remaining in the party are non-practicing Jews. They are communists first and foremost and live under the delusion that when the poo hits the fan they won’t be gathered up with the rest of the Hebrews and sent to the camps.

Only a few hostage families are American citizens. So if anything, they’ll vote in Israel when the war ends.

“the average Democrat has at least a small amount of decency…”

The average Democratic voter is voting for some idealized image of what the party was thirty years ago. They are ignoring what the party has become. Today’s party is setting up children for castration. That one thing alone would tell a reasonable person to not vote Democrat.
