CNN: DNC panel fails to advance dueling resolutions on Israel's war in Gaza

https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/26/politics/dnc-israel-gaza-resolution-vote

...
The DNC’s resolutions panel considered two measures Tuesday morning at the committee’s summer meeting in Minneapolis: a proposal introduced by chair Ken Martin that echoed language in the party’s platform on the issue and a resolution backed by progressives that called for a suspension of military aid to Israel.

The panel unanimously advanced Martin’s resolution and voted down the resolution calling for an arms embargo. Martin later made the stunning decision to withdraw his resolution to allow for further discussion, a motion that was also supported by the whole committee
...
It was a dramatic ending to one of the most controversial resolutions before the committee. One audience member shouted “you’ve got to be f**king kidding me” after the progressive-backed resolution failed. Martin later huddled off to the side with the sponsors of that resolution before deciding to withdraw his own.

The O/P is about the DNC and Democrats - 92% of whom now oppose the war - not GQP.

That's probably up by 25 points since Oct 2023.

Total disaster for Israel, of its own making.

2. What will it take to get the DNC to align with the Democratic base on this?

Only 8% of Democrats now support the war on Gaza.

What is the DNC brass thinking? Honestly.
