DNC blocks resolution urging halt to US military aid for Israel, Palestine recognition
|
[IsraelTimes] Democratic National Committee ends up advancing alternative measure that reflects party’s long-standing positions after debate that exposes its current divides over Gaza war
A Democratic National Committee panel blocked a resolution Tuesday that would have called for a suspension of military aid to Israel and recognition of Paleostinian statehood, after a debate underscoring growing fissures within the party over its longstanding support of Israel.
The text of the resolution, which also called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...

The resolution, which was proposed by Allison Minnerly, a new Gen Z member from Florida, would have joined the growing chorus of calls in the US House of Representatives and Senate in recent weeks to block weapons sales to Israel. Following debate over the resolution Tuesday morning at the DNC (If you're white you ain't right! )
...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points originate...
’s summer meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the resolution received a resolute bloc of "nay" votes from the panel.
Another resolution proposed by DNC Chairman Ken Martin which called for the unrestricted flow of aid to Gaza, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and a "two state solution negotiated through direct bilateral negotiations" was passed unanimously by the committee.
"One thing all of us in this room agree on is that the crisis in Gaza is urgent," said Martin during the panel meeting. "This resolution is focused on the humanitarian crisis and makes clear that it must be addressed as the emergency that it is."
Martin’s resolution echoes long-standing positions on Israel held by the Democratic party as outlined in its 2024 platform, which affirmed that former US president Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass. ...
had worked "tirelessly" to ensure the "unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance to the Paleostinian people."
The debate over the two resolutions reflects a growing divide among Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people , white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
over their stances on Israel as support for the country’s ongoing offensive in Gaza has sharply declined in the past year.
A recent Gallup poll found that among Democratic voters, approval for Israel’s military campaign in Gaza — launched in resposne to the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, terror onslaught that started the ongoing war — had fallen from 36% in November 2023 to just 8% last month.
The DNC vote comes weeks after a record number of Senate Democrats voted in favor of two resolutions by Senator Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
, a Jewish Independent from Vermont, seeking to block US military sales to Israel. In the House, a growing number of Democrats are also signing onto a bill that would withhold the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel, while the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee called Tuesday for the US to "leverage certain arms sales" to the Jewish state.
Despite waning support among Democratic politicians for Israel amid reports of mass hunger and journalists killed in the embattled enclave, the DNC appeared unready to wade into controversial positions such as an arms embargo
Ahead of the debate over the arms embargo resolution, Minnerly called on the party to "follow the will of our voters and call for an end to US involvement in this particular tragedy."
"This is a moment that calls for leadership, listening and hard conversations," Minnerly said. "We urge that beyond calling for a ceasefire, that we acknowledge the devastation and we also outline actionable items for our elected officials with the Democratic Party to align ourselves with the voters of our base."
Minnerly told the Washington Post that after submitting her resolution, DNC staff contacted her to make "clear that they didn’t think that this resolution was the right thing for this moment."
During Tuesday’s debate over the resolution, Harini Krishnan, a member from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, criticized the resolution for failing to put "any onus on a bad boy group that I think is also oppressing the Paleostinian people," referring to Hamas. She added that she hoped that "as a party, we can move beyond this issue."
In a statement earlier this month, the Democratic Majority for Israel, an advocacy group, also called on DNC members to reject the resolution, calling it "flawed" and "irresponsible."
"Should it advance, it will further divide our Party, provide a gift to Republicans, and send a signal that will embolden Israel’s adversaries," said DMI president and CEO Brian Romick in a statement. "As we get closer to the midterms, Democrats need to be united, not continuing intra-party fights that don’t get us closer to taking back Congress."
But Sophia Danenberg, a member from Washington, said that passing Martin’s resolution was "not enough," adding that "people want to hear a louder, stronger statement, and that this isn’t the time for subtlety."
"October 7th does not justify the actions of this right-wing regime massacring and starving and slaughtering the Paleostinian people," Danenberg said, later adding, "I do fear that we’re losing our future as a Democratic Party by not being courageous on this issue."
The DNC, like its Republican counterpart, is charged with establishing the party platform, synching up candidate messaging across multiple elections and publicizing the national party "brand."
