The Democratic National Committee on Tuesday voted down a resolution calling for a suspension of military aid to Israel in the midst of a famine in Gaza that is a direct result of Israel’s near-total blockade on humanitarian aid.
Margaret DeReus, the executive director of IMEU Policy Project, was scathing in her denunciation of the DNC for voting down the resolution and directly called out the influence of pro-Israel groups that have spent millions to defeat progressives like former Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), one of the first Democratic lawmakers to demand a ceasefire after Israel began its assault on Gaza in 2023.
Organizer Asra Nizami noted that “members acknowledged getting hundreds of calls and emails” about supporting the resolution, but voted it down nonetheless.
“This party keeps digging its own grave. And it’s owned by AIPAC,” said Nizami, referring to the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which donated more than $24 million to Democratic candidates in 2024.
Vote blue no matter who, because as bad as the DNC is, the GOP is much worse.
But Primary these DNC bastards every chance you get!
If they ratfuck their way to a general election, they can get fucked. They have sided with republicans by blocking the only viable alternative.
The problem is even when they lose in the general election, the DNC still looks after them.
Better to have the DNC ratfucker you can remove later, than the GOP pedophile you have no control over.
What control over the DNC do we have? They’ve ignored the will of the people and pushed AIPAC’s agenda for literally my entire life. When will this magical accountability somehow happen?
