DNC Votes Down Resolution Calling for Israeli Arms Embargo to Halt US Complicity in Gaza Genocide | Common Dreams
The Democratic National Committee on Tuesday voted down a resolution calling for a suspension of military aid to Israel in the midst of a famine in Gaza that is a direct result of Israel's near-total blockade on humanitarian aid.
Margaret DeReus, the executive director of IMEU Policy Project, was scathing in her denunciation of the DNC for voting down the resolution and directly called out the influence of pro-Israel groups that have spent millions to defeat progressives like former Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), one of the first Democratic lawmakers to demand a ceasefire after Israel began its assault on Gaza in 2023.
Organizer Asra Nizami noted that "members acknowledged getting hundreds of calls and emails" about supporting the resolution, but voted it down nonetheless.
"This party keeps digging its own grave. And it's owned by AIPAC," said Nizami, referring to the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which donated more than $24 million to Democratic candidates in 2024.
It's like they want to lose the mid terms.
AIPAC does prefer trump, so the dems purposely throwing the election wouldnt surprise me one bit.
I'm worried it's worse. I'm worried they truly don't care. If they lose then it's def not their fault it's your fault and if they lose will they tried sorry biting else we can.
Listen, we can't just both sides this. You're either with the Democrats or you're having sex with Vladimir Putin. Do you want to be called a traitor by a guy on the Internet? Then quit repeating this far left America hating propaganda and VOTE
I mean, if I have to choose between a genocidal neoliberal and a genocidal fascist, I'll take the neoliberal.
What I really want to know is why can't we have a party with popular, mainstream, progressive policies? Just sitting here hoping that Mamdani can hammer some sense into those morons.
It's my fault for wanting the Democratic candidate to win , but also pointing out that she wouldn't be doing so if she didn't come out in opposition Israel. That means it's my fault the greens got 1/10th of a percent of votes and 6 million Democrats didn't show up (who I guess, should have just voted Green last election, since Democrats weren't going to pivot to a winning position anyways. at least then they'd be an opposition party for 2026/ 28)
It's weird people didn't get the sarcasm dripping from this.
I remember seeing opinions like yours being super popular here pre-election. Really happy seeing the tides changing.
DNC is are colluding with the guy having sex with Putin while resisting the DSA who don't think that's a great idea.
But sure, the left is crazy. Have fun with the Trump-Cuomo alliance.
And you better get used to it because it’s clearly never going to change, ya filthy hippies
