Members of the Democratic National Committee are gathering in New Orleans on Thursday for a three-day meeting, while national polling shows a huge gap between the views of registered Democrats and the party’s leadership on U.S. support for Israel.
One of the resolutions (#14) under consideration “calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territory” and “supports pausing or conditioning U.S. weapons transfers to any military units credibly implicated in violations of international humanitarian law.”
Human rights organizations including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights–Israel have issued reports unequivocally concluding that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.
