The United Auto Workers (UAW) union joined calls for a Palestinian American to speak on the final night of Democratic National Convention, implying that the party risks losing the election amid ongoing protests over the administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
“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,” the UAW wrote Thursday on social platform X.
“If we want peace, if we want real democracy, and if we want to win this election, the Democratic Party must allow a Palestinian American speaker to be heard from the DNC stage tonight,” the union added.
Hundreds of thousands of people voted “uncommitted” during the presidential primaries as a sign of opposition to President Biden’s approach to the conflict and perceived embrace of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Vice President Harris, now at the top of the ticket after Biden withdrew from the race, is planning to send a message about the conflict during her remarks Thursday evening, although the speech will be focused mainly on policy issues including the economy and abortion.

Yup...I’d support that. Let some Yassir Arafat looking pig fornicator speak just before Kommie Harris declaring “Death To America!” “Death to Israel!”
Give them a prime time slot. From the river to the sea.
What does making cars (and shafting your members and country) have to do with Palestinians (which there is no such thing anyway)?
Makes sense to me
The guy knows Michigan and what’s left of the auto industry there. He knows to get the Muslim vote in Michigan which will completely destroy the auto industry in Michigan, the dems need to pander to the Muslims.
If he says he is a Palestinian, he’s not an American.
There shouldn’t be any Palestinians in America
I read someplace that the UAW, despairing of membership growth within its namesake business has been recruiting elsewhere. It started unionizing college kids on any excuse it could. As a result a quarter of its current membership is lefty kids NOT working in the auto industry. Of course the labor regulators of the Biden administration think this is not only kosher but a great idea.
UAW has convinced me to never buy another union made vehicle. Taxpayers bailed out their union pensions with billions of our dollars for that covid relief bs. These welfare apes need to pay back the taxpayers the billions they’re robbing us of.
But I have thought so before this latest.
My last two cars (going back to 2006) were non-UAW.
Had a Ford before that. Never again.
Yes please...
And would someone please write a basic primer on the activity
between Israel and the Arabs on the West Bank and in Gaza over
the last 70 years.
Note:
It has to be written on a third to fifth grader level.
Michigan is trending Muslim. UAW is just trying to get ahead of the rest.
Smart, very smart.
Big car market in Gaza.
And islam doesn’t deserve 1st Amendment protection.
This is excellent. This is Dearborn.
This is not the UAW, it’s their leadership. Union leaders and their members are now just a microcosm of Americans and their leaders in Washington. The leaders of both “talk” about caring about and looking out for their members/constituents when the reality is they’re primarily just looking after themselves.
Agree!
another 20 percentage points for the GOP campaign slate!
how absoultely corrupted so many of our institutions have become ... not surprisingly given history, several of the large labor union bosses are among the most anti-American and most corrupt “officials” around today.
It is not only the courruptoids in WashDC and state capitols that need to be cleaned up, it is some labor union bosses and some college administrators and some mass media executives too.
