Yet Harris will give them everything they want. The Harris campaign just doesn’t want to be too obvious about it.
“Muslim group withdraws Kamala Harris endorsement after ‘uncommitted’ movement claims Palestinians denied speaking slot at DNC,” by Victor Nava, New York Post, August 22, 2024:
CHICAGO – A Muslim group backing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election announced Wednesday that it will disband over her campaign’s alleged refusal to allow a Palestinian speaker on stage at the Democratic National Convention.
The decision by Muslim Women for Harris-Walz to withdraw support for the vice president comes after Uncommitted Movement delegates staged a sit-in protest outside the primary DNC venue Wednesday night – leading several Democratic lawmakers to criticize convention organizers for “making a tragic mistake.”
“We cannot in good conscience, continue Muslim Women for Harris-Walz, in light of this new information from the Uncommitted movement, that VP Harris’ team declined their request to have a Palestinian American speaker take the stage at the DNC,” Muslim Women for Harris-Walz said in a statement.
The Harris campaign had not confirmed or denied the claim as of 7 p.m.
They declined to offer comment when asked by the Associated Press.
The Post has also reached out to the Harris team.
The group argued that Rachel Goldberg-Polin and Jon Polin – whose son Hersh Goldberg-Polin is being held by Hamas in Gaza – showed “more empathy towards Palestinian Americans and Palestinians” in their emotional Wednesday night convention address “than our candidate or the DNC has.”
“This is a terrible message to send to Democrats,” Muslim Women for Harris-Walz said.
“Palestinians have the right to speak about Palestine.”
The group said it was praying that the DNC and Harris would have a change of heart Thursday….

There is a considerable difference between American parents talking about their children held hostage by barbarians – and Palestinians talking about their issues under Hamas.

Honestly, I was surprised that even this was allowed at the DNC. I thought that just like things like the economy, border crossings, LGBTQ+, that this issue too would be completely sidestepped at the convention. That would have been the smart thing to do, given where they stand

Muslim Women for Harris-Walz enraged, disbands over claim that ‘Palestinians’ were denied speaking slot at DNC

What? The Dems weren’t quite as far gone yet as Muslims hoped? Oh, the humanity! sarc/off

Maybe their platform could have stated that the US would declare war on Israel and occupy that whole country, empty it of Jews and let muslims from all around overrun it? Maybe that’s what this “muslim women for Harris-Walz” were looking forward to?

It there were “palestinians” they would, as a matter of free speech, have a ‘right to speak.’
Having Freedom of Speech doesn’t mean that one can demand to speak anytime and any place and others must allow the speech to take place. Freedom of Speech means the government can’t just imprison or fine someone for criticizing it. It was never meant the way these mozlums are trying to use it.
The so-called ‘palestinians’ have been “speaking”….yelling, shouting, screaming, chanting….every day for months. And no one has stopped them.

but not one word about their oct 7th massacre with mutilations, rapes and tortures. Nothing. Never, Never about any of their mutilations and homciidism. It’s long past time that all the Islamic mutilations, rapes, tortures come out and be presented.

True. Not a word.

Not sure anyone here watches “Democracy Now!” featuring that world-class anti-smite Amy Goodman and others of her ilk, but she was beside herself with anger and frustration that 1. the demonstrations that were going to stop the convention in its tracks never amounted to more than a flea fart and 2. the rank and file shouted down and shut down all attempts inside the venue to hijack over Gaza.
IT was great to watch her furiously try to maintain her composure…..

Until 2016, Dems were pretty happy to accommodate Russia, despite toppling pro-Kremlin regimes in Kyiv. Today, they loathe Russia almost as much as they loathe Trump
If this year turns them off against islam, that will be a great moment in history. Obviously not this cycle, but if the next cycle, the Dems start ranting about islam the way they’ve ranted about Russia, we’ll see progress in the jihad against the jihad
In the meantime, memo to the “muslim women for Harris-Walz”: go ahead and vote for Cornel West in this election, if he’s there on your state ballot. If not, vote for Jill Stein. If you can’t bear to do the latter b’cos she’s Jewish, then just sit it out on November 5th
Or better yet, move to Canada, just like Hollywood promises to do every 4 years but never does

Good news for the Michigan intifada crowd in Dearbornistan and Hamtramckabad – Cornel West is back on the ballot, so there’s someone you can vote for if you hate Kamala ?
