‘The family of the Israeli Hostage that was on the stage tonight, has shown more empathy towards Palestinian Americans and Palestinians, than our candidate or the DNC has.’

Editor’s note: The following statement was issued by Muslim Women For Harris-Walz.

“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.

The family of the Israeli Hostage that was on the stage tonight, has shown more empathy towards Palestinian Americans and Palestinians, than our candidate or the DNC has.

This is a terrible message to send to Democrats. Palestinians have the right to speak about Palestine.

We pray that the DNC and VP Harris team makes the right decision before this convention is over. For the sake of each of us.”
