Pro-Palestinian Democrats face an emotional conundrum: feeling joy over Kamala Harris' candidacy but despair over the horror in Gaza.
Love and good cheer permeated opening night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago save for a small confrontation in the nose-bleed section of the packed United Center. A Muslim delegate holding a sign that read “Stop Arming Israel” during President Biden’s speech was purposely hit by another audience member's “We Love Joe” sign. The kerfuffle represented a much larger divide within the party.

Raphael Warnock dared to go there when in a speech about equality and inclusion he eloquently stated, 'I need my neighbors’ children to be OK so my children will be OK...I need the poor children of Israel and the poor children of Gaza.
