"Our target is the Democratic Party" - Palestinian protest organizer.

The elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris to the top of the ticket is not deterring ahead,” said [Hatem] Abudayyeh or others planning to march. Nor has it softened his inflammatory language towards the Democratic candidate, having previously referred to Biden as “Genocide Joe.”

“It’s still about ending the genocide,” he said. “Our target is the Democratic Party and the leadership of the party and ‘Killer Kamala’ is one of them.” Abudayyeh justifies the monikers for Biden and Harris, saying, “we feel that their administration is responsible for this ongoing war and genocide. We just couldn’t think of a name for Antony Blinken.”

[Hatem Abudayyeh, is the chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network] part of the Coalition to March on the DNC, an alliance of groups and activists that started planning demonstrations as soon as Chicago was picked to host the Democratic convention in April 2023.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/interactive/2024/meet-the-dnc-protesters/

Hatem Abudayyeh is a first generation Palestinian American. He has called for the 'dissolution of the Zionist state.' Planning for the DNC protest began in April 2023. Abudayyeh has not organized protests against the Republican Party.

[msongs]

1. hatem likes being in the usa more than in gaza thats for sure nt

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Translation: Let's ratfuck American Democracy by pretending we really give a shit about Palestine.

And there is sweet money pouring into our bank accounts to create a shit show in Chicago. Because we really believe Trump's policy for the ME, especially Jared's plan's for the Gaza Coast.

[Trueblue1968]

100. Evil people in my opinion. Hatred of humanity.

[lapfog_1]

3. Planning began in April 2023???

WTF?

Did they have advance warning of the brutal attack on TEENS and TWENTY-SOMETHINGS ( unarmed ) at a rave party???

How did they know there would be an Israeli response they term a "genocide" so they could come up with the cute and clever names for people that had NOTHING to do with the Hamas attack and Israeli response?

[PeaceWave]

5. The implications of his own words are frightening.

[betsuni]

9. Malcolm Nance said Oct. 7 took a long time to plan so yes, advance knowledge and it was designed to be

unprecedented.

Not war, a genocidal ISIS type terrorist attack executing every civilian they came across one by one (except for hostages) because Hamas wanted Israel to go insane, provoking them to storm across the border for an apocalyptic battle in the middle of 2.2 million Palestinians. The more Palestinian civilian casualties the better for Hamas (especially babies and children) in order to gain the support of the Arab world and terrorist groups around the world. All well planned, publicized, create your own reality. Project what Hamas does, genocide and war crimes, on Israel and U.S. Democrats.

[Martin Eden]

20. Yes, Hamas had to know how Netanyahu would respond

Which means Hamas knew their Oct 7 attack would result in mass civilian casualties in Gaza.

Blaming this on the Democratic Party makes no sense. Attacking the Harris campaign makes even less, since another Trump presidency would in every way be much worse for the Palestinian cause.

One has to question the motives and strategy of the protest leaders.

[thucythucy]

30. If this individual or his organization had prior knowledge of October 7

wouldn't this mean they are in contact with Hamas?

And if so, wouldn't this violate some provision of US law?

Just wondering.

[betsuni]

87. They'd just have to know to be ready for major protests after September.

That's what I think.

[thucythucy]

89. Wouldn't that still imply some sort of contact

with the people plotting October 7?

I suppose if it was indirect contact, conveyed somehow through some intermediary, that might get them off the hook.

Still seems unsettling though.

[yardwork]

21. I've been convinced since Oct 8 that the Hamas attacks were planned deliberately.

I think it's very possible that some of these people had advance warning. The organized protests the very next day against the victims - complete with professionally designed flyers and cute emojis - were not spontaneous.

We know that Russia influenced the 2016 election via online propaganda. The supposedly spontaneous online propaganda that erupted simultaneously across numerous platforms the day after Hamas attacked Israel looked and felt like 2016 propaganda. The repeated use of the same phrases and motifs, the viral emojis, not an accident. Not grassroots.

[GreenWave]

37. The Gaza Strip was not some idyllic paradise prior to the brutal attack.

Why the piling on here?

[lapfog_1]

72. The planning for the PROTEST was started months before the war started

funny... I don't remember massive pro Palestinian campus protests in any of the proceeding 20 or 30 or 40 years.

How did the protest organizers KNOW that there would BE a war to protest in April of 2023, months before the Oct 7th attack?

[Self Esteem]

108. There was a sizable protest back in 2021...

https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/22/us/pro-palestinian-protests-us/index.html

This is nothing new.

[LeftInTX]

63. Na..they were planning on protests with or without an attack or war in Gaza.

They've been wanting BDS (Boycott, Divest and Sanctions) for decades.

[lapfog_1]

79. maybe... but any such protest was almost irrelevant in past years

a dozen or so people with signs. This sounds like there was coordination before the attack of Oct 7,2023.

Israel's reaction to the mass murder of 1200 people, many of them unarmed young people at a rave, was predictable. In fact, I would have said it was restrained compared to the USA reaction to 9/11 that killed over 3000 people. I mean, we even started a war on a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. Killed maybe 150,000 civilians... maybe as many as 500,000. We will never know.

but the attack on Oct 7th... something like that did take many months if not years of planning... maybe not to the exact time and date but the nature of the attack and the predictable response... and the next chess move was to ensure that world would see thousands of "defenseless civilians" pay the price ( mostly by creating human shields out of those civilians ). And the right wing idiots in Israel fell right into the trap. Hamas was not hiding this, it was stated that this was the goal by their very evil leadership long before the attack. Gaza was an open air prison with few prison guards... and to be in Gaza all one had to do was to be born in Gaza or trapped there previous to the expansion of Israel... the illegal expansion. But I sure don't remember the thousands of anti-Israel ( and anti Jewish ) protests in the cities and college campuses before October 7 2023.

If these protest leaders KNEW of the coming attack before Oct 7... I don't know what law they broke, but I'm sure there is a law against having that information and possibly being paid to organize the protest to the predictable Israeli war. They should be arrested and charged with accessory after the fact or something in the post 9/11 anti terrorism laws.

[bottomofthehill]

4. Heads I win, tails you lose.

You stupid pack of fucks. If Trump wins, may you be the first duchebags on the deportation list, if he does not, may VP Harris have a long memory.

What a bunch of assholes. Tell your terrorist friends to apologize to Israel, turn over the 10/7 attackers and return the hostages and the carnage will stop as there will not be a reason for it any longer.

[roscoeroscoe]

6. Only Hurting their Own Cause

That is the sad reality of this kind of misguided, spiteful 'protest.'

For heaven's sake, give Harris some room and time to get elected, maybe even support the campaign. You get more with honey than you do with the stick, if I can mix those sayings up.

[JanMichael]

83. Agreed. I don't support Hamas or Netentheyahoo.

And I doubt that there will ever be lasting peace in that region due to such strongly healed religious beliefs on all sides. Just one crisis after another until we're all dead and cremated or buried.

[PSPS]

7. Is this funded by AIPAC?

[speak easy]

8. ??

[Mossfern]

38. Agree with your confusion

would like clarification

[PSPS]

75. A stalking horse to undermine democrats on bibi's behalf.

[betsuni]

86. The CT was that AIPAC spent millions getting Democrats elected (like Cori Bush's opponent), but

changed their mind and now the CT is that they spend lots of money so that Democrats won't get elected. Maybe that's it? If it is, they should really get their diabolical World Domination Plan more organized, have more meetings.

[TexasBushwhacker]

10. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar

If they really think they'll get more progress from the Republicans than from the Democrats, I've got news for them. Perhaps they should put the screws to Hamas.

[LeftInTX]

64. They prefer vinegar.

[FlyingPiggy]

11. Oh gosh, what a surprise. But it doesn't matter to me. Not even registering on my radar...m

I can’t fight for everything & my focus is to just beat the living shit out of trump in november, get roe v wade back on track, & bury this project 2025 bullshit. These Palestinians need to check themselves and get in line.

[SocialDemocrat61]

12. Let's hope that the police in Chicago can maintain order

and show restraint in dealing with the protestors. If it were up to me, Dems should send Reps Tlaib and Omar to reach out to protestors and diffuse the situation. Any outbreak of violence in Chicago this week will be blown out of proportion by the corporate media and play on a loop until November.

[mopinko]

13. trust me, it will b dealt w well.

we ALLL know what they’re up to. we wont let it happen.

[JohnSJ]

28. As long as they "peacefully" protest outside of the Democratic Convention, and don't

interfere or disrupt the Convention, I have no problem, but the moment they start to get violent, or try to break into the Convention center, they need to be stopped before it gets started.

[edisdead]

77. You can count on bomb threats and that type of stuff

They are going to try to interrupt/shut down the convention.

[Vinca]

14. Wish someone would ask them what they think Trump will do to solve the issue. I imagine he would

tell Netanyahu to nuke them and get it over with.

[speak easy]

15. They don't care about Trump. They are seeking revenge on the Democratic Party,

Last edited Sun Aug 18, 2024, 08:42 AM - Edit history (1)

going all the way back to Harry Truman, when the UN resolutions, creating the state of Israel were passed. They blame Carter, for splitting the Arab World, and Clinton for the failure of the Norwegian Peace Accords. The Biden Administration sold Israel bombs that were dropped on Gaza. End of Story.

[yardwork]

22. Exactly. Israel was created because Jews were being slaughtered in the Middle East.

The children and grandchildren of the Arab Muslims who tried to annihilate all Jews 100 years ago are still trying to annihilate all Jews.

I don't agree with much of what Israel is doing, especially in recent years, but I can understand why so many Israelis think their only chance of survival is to fight back hard.

[LeftInTX]

61. And their "revenge" attitude is why the ME is so eff'd up...

That's how they do business over there. They got Bibi in because they boycotted an election. They don't see the dysfunction as a problem, and they get a kick over how it's a "western problem"

[OneGrassRoot]

78. Thank you. n/t

[Stuckinthebush]

16. Myopic

They are pushing the people who do/will support their cause away from their cause with this myopic behavior.

[Yavin4]

17. Starting to appreciate Israel's side a little bit more.

When you're dealing with people hell bent on self destruction, there's not much else that you can do.

[speak easy]

18. Yes. What we are doing will make things worse,

but we want revenge (see #15)

[yardwork]

23. Not self-destruction. Destruction of Israel and all Jewish people.

[Yavin4]

24. When you don't have the means to destroy Israel...

all that you will do is destroy yourself.

[Irish_Dem]

42. And now they want to destroy the US Dems.

19. I think these people people are far more interested in American elections than they are Palestinian citizens

25. *Pro Hamas protest organizer

[speak easy]

31. * "Palestinian resistance must be supported."

Hatem Abudayyeh

“The U.S. and Israel will continue to describe Hamas, Hezbollah and the other Palestinian and Lebanese resistance organizations as ‘terrorists,’ but the real terrorists are the governments and military forces of the U.S. and Israel. The vast majority of the world sees and understands this, and are in full support of Lebanese, Palestinian and worldwide resistance to Israel and the U.S.’s naked aggression, war, imperialism and occupation.”

“This mass movement against war and imperialism must continue, and the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance must be supported."

https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/722.pdf

[JohnSJ]

26. Abudayyeh has publicly stated he supports hamas and the destruction of Israel. He has made

no bones about it.

He sure isn't a Democrat. He can peacefully protest all he wants outside of the Convention, but he has NO RIGHT to interfere or disrupt the Convention.

[dalton99a]

35. +1. POS and his gang should not be allowed inside

[GoCubsGo]

102. Unless they have credentials, they won't be allowed anywhere near the UC,

let alone inside. And, I highly doubt that they do. As I understand it, there are already barricades surrounding the building, with a fairly wide margin. Their protests will be confined to a nearby park. If they stray anywhere near the United Center, there will be CPD waiting for them, and Illinois National Guardsmen as necessary. They are on standby, as I understand it. Here's hoping they are not necessary.

[JT45242]

27. What a moron ..

He thinks the convicted felon who worships Bibi netanyahu will be better for Palestinians.

Did he miss the Muslim ban?

Idiocracy at work

[ananda]

29. This is so crazy it beggars description...

since Bibi is a Trumper and only wants to
destroy all Palestinians.

It makes me wonder if they are really
pro-Palestine.

[speak easy]

33. Like Hamas, they want revenge,

and don't care about the consequences. (see #15)

[ananda]

43. Thanks, that was helpful.

It won't be any kind of good revenge,
not even close.

[Lonestarblue]

32. I'm beginning to wonder who is funding these protests.

Creating chaos and protests against Democrats only helps Trump. Electing Trump does not help end the war in Gaza or help Palestinians. If anything, it will make their lives worse because Trump will given Bibi the green light to murder every single one of them. It really is counterproductive to their stated goal unless their real goal is just to cause Democrats to lose the election.

[Midnight Writer]

36. Exactly. Follow the money. Someone is funding this guy and his organization.

And I bet the goal of the funder has only a peripheral connection to the Israel/Hamas war.

[AkFemDem]

48. Only beginning? ;-) Some of us have been telling everyone

Since last October who emboldens these terrorists and wannabe jihadists.

[dalton99a]

34. Ratfucking assholes should go to Palestine and wage their jihad there

[hlthe2b]

39. What a way to turn a wealth of sympathy against them-- if they move from peaceful protest to disruption...

The question is whether they will both internalize and follow this truth?

And A BIG "NO" to to those lumping them all as "Jihadists"...There are naive' (often painfully ignorant) idealists among them too. No matter how strong one's views on the issue, such refusal to see the complexity or to flatly deny their right to protest is very much a MAGA trait and something I am not about to defend. Yes, there are inciting infiltrators of MANY STRIPES. They should face legal response if their acts become violent or illegal. But we cannot give them a 1968-reminiscent violent result. That is what reflexive emotional response gets us.

[LeftInTX]

59. They are not naive. They know what they are doing.

They are hardliners who really don't care who wins the election.

Revenge on the Democratic party is more important to them than "who wins".
That's how it works in the ME and that's one reason, it's so eff'd up over there.

[hlthe2b]

65. No. The protest leadership are, but they are attracting the ignorant and the naive' among youth.

Last edited Sun Aug 18, 2024, 03:00 PM - Edit history (1)

If you do not want to see the worst of outcomes, you need to realize that. Are malign protest rabble-rousing infiltrators manipulating them? I just said so. But we cannot be stupid and we have to keep police restrained from giving them a propaganda victory from reacting BEYOND what is absolutely necessary. There is no such thing as a pyrrhic VICTORY. Only a pyrrhic debacle.

[LeftInTX]

67. How do you think Bibi got in power? The Arabs-Israelis got him in via revenge

They got revenge on Shimon Peres.

[hlthe2b]

71. And that has what to do with ignorant impressionable manipulated college students protesting in Chicago?

I detest Netanyahu and his Likudists with a burning heat. They have done more to harm Israel and Israelis than just about any "intentional malign plant" could have--especially now. Netanyahu has sold out his people just like Trump has-- to cover his own corruption. That is a separate subject.

But, no. I do not want to see terrorist-associated organizers get a pyrrhhic VICTORY with violence in Chicago--at the expense of democracy--which is what is most at risk NOW. Those along for the ride-- with zero sense of history and naive' to the manipulation of protest organizers-- are still going to paint a sympathetic person as the world's cameras zoom in on Chicago. So, conflating them all and suggesting police should not do all possible to contain WITH restraint is nuts and totally self-defeating. You may think all are the same--all are terrorists--I'll bet their grieving parents (on camera) won't feel that way if violence should ensue.

[LeftInTX]

107. Well, the "naive manipulated 53 yo college student" who is heading the protests was raided by the FBI in 2010

He knows [b]exactly what he's doing.

Tired of all the excuses....I've been around the block myself. Dealt with student PLO groups in 1980.



Target of FBI terror-support raid visited W.H.

Last Friday, FBI agents executed a search warrant at Abudayyeh’s Chicago home as part of a coordinated series of raids involving at least one other Chicago site, along with the homes of anti-war activists in Minnesota. A copy posted on the web of a grand jury subpoena served on one target of the raids in Minneapolis demands “all records of any payment provided directly or indirectly to Hatem Abudayyeh, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (“PFLP”) or the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (“FARC”).”

A search warrant served on a Minneapolis anti-war activist, Michael Kelly, ordered agents to seize records relating to Kelly’s travels to “Palestine, Colombia, and … within the United States.” It also mentions possible connections to Hezbollah.

The warrant and subpoena suggest the probe, which is being run by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald in Chicago, is focusing on illegal support for terrorist organizations, particularly by a Minnesota-based group called the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. PFLP, FARC and Hezbollah are designated as terrorist groups by the U.S. government. A spokesman for Fitzgerald’s office declined to comment on the probe.

Maybe he's mad at Democrats because Obama's FBI raided his home.

[hlthe2b]

109. And again, you KNOW I have repeatedly made clear I am NOT talking about the organizers. Said it at least 4x

So, I like you, LeftInTx, but that is beyond disingenuous to keep claiming otherwise. Bye.

[TheKentuckian]

94. Placating this backwash only emboldens them.

Every little nod in their general direction just fuels greater stridency.

Stop encouraging the terrorists.

Stop begging them to cooperate.

Stop asking for their votes in vain.

Being sympathetic in the least has engendered an environment where peaceable events and order are off the table and now there will be chaotic disruptions that can help the enemy and act like throwing anchors to ourselves.

Only idiots think they can have a nest of vipers as pets and friends.

Fuck this garbage!

[hlthe2b]

95. I said absolutely nothing that you are putting forth. ABSOLUTUTELY NOTHING. I don't deal with those who purposely

try to put forth garbage in a feeble and dishonest attempt to reframe the argument. Shame on you. Real Democrats/progressives, and yes, Israel-supporters do not stoop to such shameful tactics.

That you find offense in my desire not to see violence makes a tremendous statement. If you get the outcome you seemingly are supporting--and those protests become a violent 1968-level 24/7 televised spectacle overtaking the DNC and our efforts to save democracy-- what benefit do you see for any of us? sigh...

[TheKentuckian]

98. We will see what wiping and dangling for these backward fucks has bought us.

The answer to terrorists is not to let them have their way for "peace", they will just fire up the Hemi on the moving goalposts.

My offense is with inviting the ratfucking and more than half ass getting tied up in it not the desire to avoid or minimize violence but better to set some boundaries than let them just have their way.

We don't have time or space for their bullshit, they risk our self determination, prosperity, and liberty in pursuit of genocidal ambitions.

Fuck em side ways with a rusty dumpster.

[Beastly Boy]

104. Not just ignorant and naive, but entitled, privileged and bored out of their idle minds.

Having chosen to disengage their acumen in pursuit of adrenalin rush , they were (and are) easy prey for peddlers of violence for a cause they know jack shit about.

[Beastly Boy]

99. Despite multiple warnings, the "wealth of sympathy" was grossly misplaced from the start.

It wouldn't have been made possible without a wealth of willful ignorance to accompany it.

It's not like Hamas was a complete unknown deserving benefit of doubt.

[travelingthrulife]

40. These tribal wars in the Middle East based on grudges that are thousands of

years old will seemingly never end. So many people have tried to negotiate peace between the various parties, but when a large proportion of each group or country's population wants the other party dead and nothing less will do, how can it ever end?

[Irish_Dem]

41. They want Trump to win the election.

Have unfortunately done a great job at hijacking the stoned, drunk, coddled brains of American college students and they’ve gathered enough of them to enact a huge display of caterwauling and shrieked demands throughout the DNC. They’re major spoilers and expect to see and hear them a lot… and expect the media to focus on them.

Hatem (haha seriously, what a name) and his ilk are primed and excited about this opportunity. This is what some democrats have allowed to happen and y’all can just wallow in it now. Hopefully it won’t be enough ratfuckery to influence the actual election, but mark my words- they’re going to ruin our convention.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

55. Do these protestors realize that TFG will impose a Muslim ban and give Bibi free reign to destroy Gaza?

Donald Trump has a message for voters who disapprove of Kamala Harris' Israel/Gaza policy from the left: The Republican intends to be vastly worse.

Link to tweet

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trumps-hardline-position-us-policy-gaza-matters-rcna150391

In theory, Donald Trump might recognize the electoral opportunity and try to appeal to those who disapprove on the incumbent president’s Israel/Gaza policy from the left. In practice, the former president has an unsubtle message for Biden’s critics: If given the chance, the Republican intends to be vastly worse.

The Biden White House, for example, acknowledged this week that it is, as the Associated Press reported, “weighing measures to help Palestinians living in the United States who want to bring family from the war-torn region.”

Soon after, as Reuters reported, the presumptive GOP nominee shared his thoughts on the subject at a campaign rally.

“Your towns and villages will now be accepting people from Gaza and various other places,” Trump said, eliciting boos from the crowd. “Under no circumstances shall we bring thousands of refugees.” Last week, Trump described the pro-Palestinian protests as driven by “tremendous hate” while asserting that the violence at a 2017 white nationalist rally with some Trump supporters in Charlottesville, Virginia, when he was president was small by comparison.

Note, at one of his campaign events yesterday, Trump appeared to goad his followers in Wisconsin into booing Palestinian refugees.

Link to tweet

At the same event, the former president also vowed to restore and expand the Muslim ban he imposed during his first term......

The former president also endorsed ongoing Israeli military operations, saying, “We have to let Israel complete their war on terror. It’s a horrible thing, but they have to do it.” Trump added that Israel must “clean out the cancer.”

Let’s also not forget a New York Times report from March that said top members of Trump’s team want to expel Palestinians from Gaza.

[speak easy]

56. IMO they don't care. Like Hamas on October 7, they are only interested in revenge.

(see #15)

[OneGrassRoot]

57. They don't care if Trump wins...

Yes, they are fully aware that everything for everyone, globally and domestic, will get exponentially worse. They know this.

Some are delusional enough, or selfish/privileged enough to not consider what that will REALLY look like. The perpetual cynic, “Meh, they’re all alike. How much worse can it really get?”

Others are simply self-destructive. Yes it’s selfish but they’re consumed with bitterness and revenge.

The third group of current protesters are accelerationists. They KNOW the devastation a Trump and fellow authoritarians will bring. They welcome it. They believe the only way to rebuild a more just world is by destroying what is. The suffering and death that will ensue is collateral damage of their envisioned revolution.

They know.

We're not their friends. If they want to stink up our convention and be obnoxious, they're more than welcome to try. It will give Harris and Walz a chance to smack them down. Political gold.

[Iwasthere]

73. A genocide that tRump is for and Harris not

[Deek1935]

91. Hamas slaughtered babies, raped girls, gunned down concert-goers, and they wonder about Gaza?

It is not genocide. It is trying to get rid of the bloodthirsty Hamas murderers and hostage-takers who started this and knew just what Netanyahu would do. They use human shields. Hamas doesn't care about innocent Palestinians.

That said, yes, of course the loss of innocent life is horrific. Hamas needs to stand down, agree to the ceasefire, and release the hostages and Israel will also agree to the ceasefire and a way to move forward.

Arafat rejected a two-state deal when Bill Clinton was in office.

80. What needs protesting is..

...... the willful ignorance, any semblance of consideration of what a trump presidency would bring, and any hint whatsoever of what would solve their perceived problems. Another classic case of a group protesting, and possibly voting against their own best interests. It's easy to protest war and violence while sitting in the comfort of America's bosom. There are two problems in all of this, and they are named Hamas, and netanyahu. Eliminate these two problems, and the path to peace and a two state solution becomes much more possible.
