In reply to the discussion: Growing number of Democrats call for Palestinian speaker on final night of DNC [View all]
MarineCombatEngineer
(18,192 posts)50. Are these Palestinian speakers going to condemn the terrorist org, HAMAs for their attack on Israel?
Are they going to demand HAMAs release all the remaining hostages whether they're alive or dead?
Are they going to demand that HAMAs stop using civilians and civilian infrastructure for their terrorist ops?
If so, then I would support a Palestinian speaker, until then, no.

Uncommitted are not the protestors you are referring to. Uncommitted delegates are Democrats

Delegates represent the voters in primaries who sent them there. They don't REFUSE anything.

Palestinian-Americans are an ethnic group. As far as I know, Granny NASCAR drivers aren't.
