Uncommitted Delegates Speak Out After Sleeping Outside DNC to Protest Silencing of Palestinians

Support our work: democracynow.o...
As “uncommitted” delegates continue their sit-in just outside the Democratic National Convention in protest of the party’s refusal to meet demands to platform a Palestinian American speaker on the main stage, we hear from two uncommitted delegates who have made a concerted effort to bring Israel’s war on Gaza to the forefront and to push the Harris campaign on its policy in the Middle East. Asma Mohammed, a campaign manager for Vote Uncommitted Minnesota and a delegate from Minnesota, says there is widespread disappointment and betrayal among delegates who feel their voices in support of Palestinian rights are being ignored. “This level of silencing, this level of exclusion [does] not belong in our Democratic Party,” adds Abbas Alawieh, a co-founder of the Uncommitted National Movement and an uncommitted delegate from Michigan.

The conflict without resolution will not be settled by American politicians. Democracy involves activating and restraining forces finding common ground. The Middle East will not stabilize until both sides are tired of fighting. That may be some time off.

[@jlcl96]

The US is funding and arming the conflict. American politicians need to remove the US from the equation by ending funding to Israel. There is no real “both sides” here. There is the super powerful US backed military of Israel with nuclear capability and their total military control over the area and then there is a captured population with no army, no navy, no air force, no real government. I promise you the Palestinians are very tired of being murdered and displaced.

[@leewuanti4327]

This is absolutely the wrong approach. Until the Israelis and Palestinians learn to settle their issues without armed conflict, there's not going to be a cessation of hostilities. A speech by an uncommitted delegate at an American political party convention is not going to bring about a ceasefire. The deaths over the last ten months are truly horrific but leaders on both sides don't seem to have will to say enough is enough. Until they do, a speech ain't gonna do anything.

If all we can do is Boycott, let's do that for a free Palestine. 🤔👍

You’re uncommitted so why don’t want to speak at the DNC?

[@Mradm86]

I am also uncommitted from Minnesota I wasn’t able to vote that go around which I am sure there were many who are still standing for justice and it doesn’t matter who is running the boggy Trump or not I will stay uncommitted until my brothers and sisters and children of Palestine get freedom from Isreal. They deny, deny, deny and point fingers but people see through their sheep skins.

I guess you're OK with white supremacist repukkklicons then. Good for you bud.

[@shaunithabanks5502]

Glad they were told no. We’re they at the RNC asking them for support even though they are the ones perpetuating the fight to continue. Americans need to involve themselves with America and no other country problems matter. You came here to live so you need to be committed to America and if loyalty lies other places….go back to your allegiance.

Then let's stop sending weapons and money to the bullies. That will help both the Palestinian people and Americans at the same time.

@@QuestionAllHarmNone stop sending weapons will not stop hamas from attacking, whats your point?
