Tlaib criticizes Democrats for not wanting to ‘hear’ from Palestinian voices
The Hill ^ | 08/26/2024 | Miranda Nazzaro

Posted on 08/26/2024 1:11:17 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) slammed the Democratic National Convention for not featuring a Palestinian American speaker, stating it is “hard not to feel invisible.”

“It’s hard not to feel invisible as a Palestinian American. Our trauma and pain feel unseen and ignored by both parties. One party uses our identity as a slur, and the other refuses to hear from us. Where is the shared humanity? Ignoring us won’t stop the genocide,” Tlaib said in an interview published Monday with Zeteo, the news organization founded by former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan.

Tlaib was among a group of Democrats, specifically progressive lawmakers, to publicly criticize the convention for not having a Palestinian speak or be represented at the event last week in Chicago.

For weeks ahead of the convention, the Uncommitted National Movement called for a Palestinian convention speaker, stating it would send a clear message that Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Harris was shifting away from President Biden’s stances on the Israel-Hamas war.

Why not have a nazi speak? Or a dictator from one of various countries? Or a marxist (wait, that’s who their candidate is)?

Whoever would have spoken from the (Palestine) point of view could not have helped himself from spewing at least some violent, hateful rhetoric.

That might have fired up the hard left...but idiots who are just too lazy to read and see what dems have become...they would have been affected.

She hasn’t figured out she’s on a leash, her job is to keep her “flock” quiet. She thinks she’s actually supposed to influence desired actions, haha...

That’s the job of most politicians, conservatives and liberals included. Corral your tribe into the oligarchs’ pens.

I wouldn’t take this disrespect if I were you Rashida. Tell your terrorist sympathizing Muslims to stay home on election day to get revenge on Kamala and the DNC.

I wanted these evil basturds on the DNC stage for the entire world to see, instead of just rotting out the party’s American voter base from the streets.

Hopefully, the GOP campaign will broadcast many videos of the Fakestinian terrorists and their enablers in our streets.

There are still some Americans who need to be woken up about the tremendous danger these evil agents of Satan represent in our country.
