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.

But honestly I’ll probably just block you if you do this again. It’s kind of weird…
He gives Ken Martin two hot stone massages per day, and those take time to do right. You have to queue up the enya music clips to just the right spots, for starters. The lube needs to be warmed to precise body temperature. People just dont realize how much time it all takes. People suck.
