With Kamala Harris DNC acceptance speech, the Palestinian cause got a primetime boost.
— the daughter of immigrants, raised in the Oakland flatlands — accepted the Democratic nomination for president on Thursday night at the United Center.
“Let me be clear: I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself,” Harris said. “The people of Israel must never again face the horror that the terrorist organization Hamas caused on October 7, including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival.”
In a statement on Friday, Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of the Uncommitted National Movement, said the decision by the Harris campaign not to allow a speaker was a “clear mistake” and a “missed opportunity.”
