DNC Palestinian Delegates Response to the Biden Campaign Attack on Palestinian Leader, Linda Sarsour

  DNC Delegates Demand Immediate Retraction  & Apology from the Biden Campaign for Attacks on  Palestinian-American Delegate Linda Sarsour After DNC delegate and Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour spoke at an official DNC event of the Muslim Delegates and Allies Assembly on August 18th, 2020, Andrew Bates, a spokesperson for the Joe Biden campaign, issued a statement stating, "Joe Biden has been a strong supporter of Israel and a vehement opponent of anti-Semitism his entire life, and he obviously condemns her views and opposes BDS, as does the Democratic platform. She has no role in the Biden campaign whatsoever."  As Palestinian-American delegates and allies, we stand by our fellow Palestinian-American delegate Linda Sarsour and condemn any effort to exclude elected national DNC delegates to official DNC events. We reject efforts to marginalize and demonize the Palestinian narrative. We also call upon the Democratic National Committee to renew its commitment

Linda Sarsour says Biden campaign's 'unprovoked' attack hurts Democrats Biden campaign says it is committed to engaging with Muslims, but non-apology has done little to quell anger from Sarsour's supporters

Re: Cornel West on Palestine

Dr. West is extraordinary -- as always. I'll not forget meeting him in Washington. It was in 2014 during Israel's murderous bombing and missile assault against Gaza's civilian population. A group went up by bus to protest in front of the White House. As we walked down the street, I suddenly saw him. I walked up, introduced myself and said what an honor it was to meet him and have him there supporting the Palestinian struggle.

Cornel West on Palestine

 Must listen to Dr. Cornel West to the very end. He spelled out the strategy for the elections and what to do after defeating Trump.  That is courage.  Don't endorse them. Just vote for them.
