They said they did it. You can ask them.

The Palestinian Youth Movement is taking credit for the demonstration, saying ... "Palestine protesters manufactured chaos at the Watergate Hotel last night so that Netanyahu, Israeli Mossad agents, and the Secret Service had no peace as they continue to terrorize our people."

The DNC Didn't Let Any Palestinians Speak About The Carnage In Gaza..... [View all] global1 Aug 2024 OP

This was Kamala Harris's convention. She wasn't about to let people speak who called her mentor MaryMagdaline Aug 2024 #1

I agree with all of that Walleye Aug 2024 #27

Did the Teamsters president speak at the Democratic convention? LiberalFighter Aug 2024 #36

No. He spoke at RNC and ticked off the membership and other unions MaryMagdaline Aug 2024 #47

Glad he didn't speak. LiberalFighter Aug 2024 #57

Last time we gave a seat at the table to those who didn't like the Democratic position JohnSJ Aug 2024 #49

Exactly! MaryMagdaline Aug 2024 #50

Damn right Hekate Aug 2024 #74

Absolutely. betsuni Aug 2024 #82

Harris was absolutely correct DFW Aug 2024 #80

Agree! Armenians were not invited and we just lost a war. Some of it is to blame on a Democrat: LeftInTX Aug 2024 #83

Yes, was NOT a convention about foreign victims of injustice and the many wars going on around the globe. betsuni Aug 2024 #84

Protesters talking about genocide Biden is a non starter kansasobama Aug 2024 #2

Thank goodness. It was a great convention, VP Harris is too smart to give a platform to Hamas apologists. tritsofme Aug 2024 #3

Damn right Hekate Aug 2024 #41

Putting maggots in the delegates food is a huge non-starter to me! LeftInTX Aug 2024 #4

Why do you conflate delegates with people who put maggots in the food? iemanja Aug 2024 #8

The uncommitted delegates didn't even bother to denounce or condemn it. LeftInTX Aug 2024 #11

Yes, they should have iemanja Aug 2024 #12

I don't think delegates did the maggots, but they did not say anything negative about the protests. LeftInTX Aug 2024 #13

I thought you said they did iemanja Aug 2024 #14

Yes, the maggots are a no-brainer to me. Not denouncing it is a no-brainer. LeftInTX Aug 2024 #15

Well, the negotiators for the DNC speech are a small group of people iemanja Aug 2024 #16

Delegates did not plant maggots, but protesters likely did. LeftInTX Aug 2024 #17

Pointing it out that they wanted speak, yet they disrupted BIden. LeftInTX Aug 2024 #26

and that equates with planting maggots in your mind? iemanja Aug 2024 #28

You keep saying that I said that. I said they didn't denounce the maggots. And you know darn well what I said. LeftInTX Aug 2024 #29

Hold on, I thought they have yet to find/arrest the culprits. sakabatou Aug 2024 #115

Very likely protesters. Protesters did this to Netanyahu and bragged about it. LeftInTX Aug 2024 #116

She purposefully chose a speaker who is BOTH pro Israel AND opposed to the war in Gaza Happyhippychick Aug 2024 #5

It's almost like pissing all over a party... Happy Hoosier Aug 2024 #6

Precisely ! Cha Aug 2024 #66

Sounds like a good idea seeing they were opposing democratic candidates, that doesn't mean DNC is not listening to them uponit7771 Aug 2024 #7

I think the negotiations would have gone better if they had agreed to endorse Harris iemanja Aug 2024 #9

Or maybe calling VP Harris "Killer Kamala" and President Biden "Genocide Joe" just didn't sit well with the DNC. Gaytano70 Aug 2024 #10

Do you think allowing a Palestinian American delegate to speak would have lost the Jewish vote? iemanja Aug 2024 #96

You mentioned the number of Islamic faith that could be pissed off, I mentioned the number of Jews EX500rider Aug 2024 #97

The issue is what matters iemanja Aug 2024 #98

The speech endorsed Harris iemanja Aug 2024 #120

Their public comments and remarks are not reflective of reality. lees1975 Aug 2024 #106

I agree. From what I've heard, the speech would have been vetted. The young lady that was on with Ali Velshi this tulipsandroses Aug 2024 #33

Well said malaise Aug 2024 #34

Agreed. All of the death in that war. To not give voice to an issue of such human rights importance was wrong. mjvpi Aug 2024 #37

Yes, surely someone suitable could have been found, imo. elleng Aug 2024 #53

But Kamala herself did. And the DNC held a Palestinian human rights panel... Hekate Aug 2024 #31

Who are the " They" you are speaking of? tulipsandroses Aug 2024 #90

They are Democrats iemanja Aug 2024 #91
