A spokesperson for the ANSWER Coalition told Newsweek that 'it is just as important as ever to protest.'
A pro-Palestinian organization planning to protest the Democratic National Convention in Chicago later this month criticized Vice President Kamala Harris picking Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.Harris, who became the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race in June, made the announcement about Walz Tuesday morning.
Comments Shapiro made about Palestinians in an opinion piece as a college student in 1993 also raised eyebrows, though a spokesperson for Shapiro told Newsweek on Friday his opinions have changed since then.Shapiro's supporters have argued there is little difference in how Shapiro, who is Jewish, and other Democrats would approach Israel, and that those concerns are based on antisemitism.
