“We want a meeting with Vice President Harris so we can talk to her to get a commitment for an arms embargo and a ceasefire.” That’s the demand of “uncommitted” delegates to the upcoming Democratic National Convention, who have pledged to withhold support for the Democratic presidential nominee over the Biden administration’s backing of Israel’s ongoing attack on the Gaza Strip. We’re joined by Asma Mohammed, a DNC-bound uncommitted delegate with Uncommitted Minnesota. She shares how pro-Palestine activism has shaped the 2024 presidential race, including Kamala Harris’s decision to tap Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate over Pennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro, who recently likened pro-Palestine protesters to the KKK. Walz has also been “pretty clear in his support for Israel” but, unlike Shapiro and other politicians, has additionally demonstrated a “willingness to learn and to move,” says Mohammed, a Minnesota resident. Overall, she says, the choice of Walz has renewed hope for many in the uncommitted movement as “a reminder that Kamala Harris is different” than President Biden and may be more receptive to restraining Israel if elected.

If Harris fails to endorse an arms embargo on Israel and fails to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, i will vote for Jill Stein of the Green Party. We do have a choice.
@@jumpsuitCD oh no we should Ignore harris support of jeno side because bad trump
Really???
Yes yes and we shall unite for Trump. I love this .
Same. And Democracy Now needs to have Dr Jill Stein on
yea, you have the choice to forfeit your vote and give it to Donald Trump, the guy who promised to "Ban all Muslims." Go ahead and throw your vote away to make a statement. I'm sure the children in Gaza will appreciate the symbolism.
Kamala can’t openly commit to an arms embargo on Israel before an election. She’ll lose the election if she does that. Arabs are correct but they are being unreasonable to ask her to do that right now. Kamala is better for Palestinians than trump. Kamala has said that there needs to be an end to this war. Trump would let Israel kill everyone is Palestine. An Uncommitted vote is a vote for trump and he and Netanyahu will finish Palestine.
Great interview! Thanks for covering this. Another important story that I have not seen covered in the mainstream media.
Keep up the pressure! Thank you for not giving up for a better world and being willing to fight for it 💜
A better world is a word full of... terrorists?! Couldn't expect anything else from hmas supporters
Asma we stand behind you! We will show up to the polls and we want our country to support
Humanity and speak up against genocide
Not nearly as much as the country wants to support humanity by speaking out against ISLAMIC TERRORISM!
Vote Jill Stein
I’m voting Harris. Regardless of how I feel about what’s going on in Israel and Gaza. As far as I’m concerned, a no vote for Harris is a vote for Trump, and he’d be far worse. Be careful what you wish for….,
@@revn9203 I am thinking about voting for Jill Stein but she isn't pro-life. I like her views on Israel/Gaza and the war. American needs to stop selling weapons of mass destruction to Israel and supporting their cause of genocide.
Those Who Curse Israel, Shall Be Cursed !
I literally refuse to vote for any politician who does not go on record supporting an arms embargo.
You are dreaming, then put in Trump who unites with Netanyahu to exterminate all Palestinians and take their land. Trump gains Gaza & West Bank property. Settlements already parceled out.
Harris has no power as VP. She will take action when elected. She will unite with foreign leaders but can't until elected. She has team working on this. First time Palestinians come close to really having their own state and stop this war
You are foolishbto throe a grenadecat her and let Trump obliterate Gaza and West Bank and take their land. Trump thanks you. Divide success and I make $$$$, I get land and I hate brown black etc. Bb Trump unite for white world
Congrats for being a fool to support him
lol arm embargo ... ur one of those leftists that helped the ayatollahs get into power and then were killed
Then save your energy and don’t vote for either party. They both in bed with APIAC
Jill Stein is the only moral choice for November 2024.
@WealthyPanda get real!!!! Harris declines preside over BB speech ad VP. Tells to his face , then announce to world end this war, end the suffering, 2 state soln, ceasefire
Netanyahu unites with Trump to exterminate all Palestinians and take their land as Netanyahu pledges Teump tower Gaza West Bank land.
WAKE UP!!!!
PALESTINIANS ASK VOTE FOR HARRIS AS THEY DONT WANT RO BE EXTERMINATED
Thank you Asma. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
If America frees it, will you please go there?
@@lisettegarcia Not if she isn't Palestinian?
@@lisettegarcia IOF needs your help to keep your friends around.
@@sue-nq6lq so, riddle me this: why use American political process -- completely unavailable to women in pally society or any of its allies -- to secure pally society's ability to continue that patriarchy if not to come enjoy it herself? Baffling
@@lisettegarcia absolutely I can’t wait to enrich my horizon and witness a free Palestine firsthand. Don’t worry I’ll do it for you. 🇵🇸❤️
Asma Mohammad is a brave woman
Brave? Brave would be catching the first thing smokin' for Iran. Then demand to speak to Ali Khamenei. That would be Brave. Yak,yak,yak in a country where there will be no repercussions from the authorities. Isn't brave.
@@davidsawyer1599Wow, I can tell how brave you are from the way you talk, David.
She’s brave for representing Minnesota and doing this interview in Illinois 😂
Brave for what?
If donald trump wins he's not gonna listen to our Arab Americans and those that care about gazans. He'll tell you shut up we don't care. Kamala and the democrats will at least listen and be bipartisan. So choose carefully and know that if donald wins He'll tell you to basically shut up and dribble.
So far Kamala has been telling us to shut up too.
@bazs2855 well we can at least negotiate with her. There is no negotiation with donald
@@bazs2855 it's Isreal good Palestine bad. When the Father says love all people even your enemy and most of all pray for them
How do you know you can negotiate with her she has not shown any negotiation skills
Trump has 4 peace deals in middle east.
How many does Harris-Biden have.
Maybe ka.ala Jewish Husband can answer you're questions
It makes no sense to me that Asma says "During the primaries 46 thousand Minnesotans voted, saying that they wanted the war in Gaza to stop, right. And we know those people may not even show up to the polls in November. They have no reason to show up if there's no ceasefire and no arms embargo by November." Now look, I'm still learning about all this but it seems quite clear that we here in the US are fractured af fighting back right-wing extremist psycopaths (along with numerous other places), and trying to prevent a gd civil war!
It is one million percent disgusting that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians and that the US has been supporting these monstrous, evil, and vile acts. I am 43 and registering to vote for the first time in my life because the stakes are so high - and this after still not fully recovered from a serious health and spirituality crisis in my life. The reason to vote - for Harris/Walz - is so that Donald Dictator Wannabe Trump and Project 2025 doesn't get a red carpet welcome to convert America into a war zone and then into some other twisted form of The Handmaid's Tale. We have to protect against that first, right???!!! Otherwise, what America, whose America will be here to do anything about any of these kinds of things???
I agree with her whole-heartedly that there must be a ceasefire and we must stop supplying arms to Israel. But not having that done by November (which let's be clear, I think it should be), does not mean those voters shouldn't vote in the election!! What sense does that make?!
I'm voting to give us more time to deal with the myriad of problems that plague not only the US, but humanity overall, in the form of our completely delusional ideas about how we should live on this planet (capitalism and all forms of fascism being top of the list). I do not support the concept of politics but it's the system I have to use right now, so I feel I must because I can hardly bear to know what's happening in Gaza, it's horrifying on the deepest level, and I don't want anything even resembling that level of destruction happening here in the US (or anywhere else ever!).
So tell me, what is her take on the scenario of them not voting and then Trump being re-elected (not saying their votes decide, but him winning because people won't vote due to what she's saying is the very possible hypothetical I'm arguing here)? Is the ceasefire more possible in that scenario? I just don't understand how not voting when you are a voter in this situation adds up to a better possibility of stopping the madness both there and here. But if someone thinks I'm missing something that would make it make sense, I'm open.
I am with you. It is so unfair. She comes on within the past 3 weeks and they want her to do something by the election. How?
@@momof3sonsatl Hmm. The "How" is by 'opening her mouth' and 'saying' "If elected, I will immediately begin enforcing US legal requirements on weapons exports'.
You're missing the part where all she has to do is open her mouth and say she'll enforce our own laws that are currently being 'extra-legally ignored'.
@@yishnir No, I'm not missing that part. In numerous other places I'm tracking all this I'm hearing that even the political commentators and lawyers acknowledge they don't know what all is going on behind the scenes since Biden is still the actual president, not Kamala. I'm really just hearing a back and forth speculation about what and why she may or may not be able to just "open her mouth" and say what we all want to hear. Obviously the forces of Israel doing all this are full on psycho so I don't assume this is a simple or easy thing to navigate if she isn't doing what seems so simple to us.
Is it more sensible to assume she, with her history of prosecution, actually wants us to keep funding this repulsive terrorist group?Or does it make more sense to assume that since she got selected as VP a mere month ago and had to get into gear real quick for all the campaigning and DNC next week, that her team is working on this issue, knows it's serious, and is strategizing around a very delicate situation so as to not inflame things further and put the US at risk of being on Israels target list???
On top of that, if the (non corporate sponsored) people that know the law, fact check, and report on all this for their job don't have a clear picture, then how can the rest of us? If you know of someone reputable that is laying all this out in a clear way and supporting what you said, then please do share as I'd genuinely like to hear for myself.
@@yishnir Ugh I wrote a whole reply and it's just disappeared, but no I'm not missing that part. If you have sources to reputable non-corporate sponsored journalists, lawyers, or political commentators that AREN'T themselves speculating about what Kamala might have to be navigating behind the scenes then please do share (meaning they have facts that explain why she's been silent). All my sources are speculating about that since she's not the actual president and we're talking about navigating a very delicate situation where I can certainly imagine Israel setting it's sights of total terror and destruction upon the US if she just opens her mouth and says what we are desperately wanting to hear.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans will change their position on Gaza. Thank you for all your efforts but neither side deserve our votes.
But you not voting =1 of those 2 candidates will still win, and likely the racist. Plain and simple. People who don't vote are putting their vote in for Trump. If he wins, I hope you can accept that its this mindset that may have helped him.
@@SquakingOfTheCrows I refuse to bow down to scare tactics. I will not vote for Dems or Reps. period.
Correct because it’s the deepest structure of long term American strategic geopolitical interests to remain in deep alliance with the democratic nation of Israel. China & Russia would LOVE for us to leave so they can fully take over the Med region and totalitarian states would all be empowered also… The whole “Free Palestine “ is an empty thoughtless platitude. Critical thinking & geopolitical discussions that is pro American is essential!! Do you like democracy? American democracy won’t survive if the rest of the world falls to totalitarian regimes. I personally like to hear different perspectives and so I come to this channel to listen. I will be voting.
right exactly. It's a politician's job to appease to my values. If they don't appease to my values I'm not voting for them, very simple.
yet tons of people online want to shame me for this
@@SquakingOfTheCrowsyes I can and if you think Kamila will stop killing babies then you are stupid
To everyone ranting and raving about not voting because they don't like Kamala for (I know, respectable reasons, I'm with y'all on Gaza), do you like Trump more? There are 2 choices, Kamala or Trump. Sorry if you don't like it, but your decision making is going to lead to one or the other winning. End of story. All this nuanced talk about Jill Stein, Cornell West, not voting, blah blah, I get the HEART behind it, but those points are irrelevant when it comes to going to the ballot box to make sure a facist doesn't get voted in. Yes the situation is complicated. I totally get it, and nothing is worse than the genocide occurring, but again: Either Trump will win, or Kamala. That's how it is. Sorry you don't like it.
If we want a third party candidate to win, we need to push for the implementation of ranked choice voting for federal elections. Otherwise, there's no chance of them winning enough electoral votes.
No.
All I need Kamala to do is to prove that she isn't a racist and promise that she will make sure that the State of Palestine is recognized as a full member state of the UN. I would like it if she promised a complete arms embargo on the State of Israel. i would like it more if she indicated that she would Acknowledge the State of Palestine as a full member state of the UN and vote for the UN to send in UN peacekeepers into the State of Palestine.
-
There is a third choice. Don't vote for racists.
It's on Kamala if she wants to be a racist. It's on her if being a racist is more important to her than American democracy. That's not on me.
I'm sick of the support for racists.
I know better than voting for a third party candidate, but this isn't about voting for a third party candidate.
This is about whether I vote for a racist candidate that supports war crimes, torture, rape, and the untyped g-word.
I won't do it. I won't vote for racist.
They need to get over it! The party of democracy backs Harris/Walz 2024! And we support 🇮🇱 on the left! ❤
@@ToxiCisty If you are going to be the same as trump, why bother. atleast under Trump, there won't be any smoke or mirrors and his Zionism is plain to see.
Israel is Toxic. the Dems need to Dump it, or else Trump's the better choice.
*one state solution* Israel must be dissolved and all its citizens shall become Palestinian jews, under a new egalitarian govt. where there is no racial supremacy.
*I don't care.*
We do not owe you anything.
A candidate must Earn the vote, they are not owed anything.
If Harris is effectively no better than Biden or Trump, why does she deserve our vote?
Things Harris can do:
1) Say that unlike Biden, she will remove the embassy from Jerusalem
2) She will cut ALL weapons to Israel
3) She will normalize relations with Iran and Hamas and recognize Palestine
4) She will threaten sanctions to force Israel to an immediate ceasefire and full prisoner swap.
5) Threaten Sanctions and Military Invasion, to force Israel to dissolve its constitution and its apartheid, transforming the country (with UN supervision) into Palestine, a homeland for Jews, Muslims and Christians.
6) Help rebuild the country and convince the new country to give full citizenship to all the Palestinians, and a right of return to all exiles and descendants (like Israel has for jews.)
7) Make Israel pay reparations.
if she does this, she gets our vote. ... even just point 1 & 2 will work, she can use point 2 to force a ceasefire _(since Biden is obviously going to fail to fix that)_
if kamala is gonna keep the slaughter going, Trump will get our vote:
1) Trump is surrounded by Antisemites, who also happen to have a similar outcome, despite their different starting points (like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson) they are like the anti-Ukraine funding ppl, gonna limit spending on Israel.
2) Trump is America First and is isolationist, he is also weak and will crumble US hegemony and international relations, making it harder for the US to cover and protect Israel by making the US weaker.
3) Trump is easy to bribe, and there is a chance that the Saudis and Qatar could convince him to be more pro-Palestinian, he was pro-Palestinian in the start of his presidency and even met the PLO first.
Are you forgetting the Oct 7th massacre? Hamas has started the war. Israel is just defending their people. Please see the truth and declare that the Muslims have started all this. The story of Gaza suffering is real I get that. However the defence of “you don’t know the history bla bla bla” is NOT a reason for what Hamas did to babies, families in their own home. I cannot express my disgust of these Muslims.
So true. Disgusting belief.
bot comment
You don’t know history. Isnotreal has killed way more ch1ldren than Hamas. Isnotreal is a racist state, they spit on Christian’s and they euthanized Ethiopian Jews. Both of these things are on CZcams.
...so your point is? Fingerpointing at who started, and refusing to stop while people on both sides are dying under insane leaders?
@@L2P3K9 you don’t know the history blah blah. Isnotreal has been doing these crimes to Palestinians everyday before Oct 7.
NO POLICIES ON HARRIS WEBSITE , What's with that ?
She has none
It's SERIOUSLY concerning! Hopefully that changes following the DNC!
Where is this movement when it comes to the Trump/Vance campaign? Why are they not pushing Trump for a ceasefire and questioning his policies? Why is there a double standard where the Harris campaign is questioned, but the Trump campaign is not. Please let us know if you have demanded a meeting of Trump/Vance and let us know what they have said.
What are you talking about? Biden and Kamala are the President and VP. What does Trump have to do with anything? He is NOT the President. Go ask the D*mocrats? They are W*rMongers. Did ya'll forget when Trump was President there was No wars. If Kamala or another d*mocrat wins that war will Never end. That is how they make their money unfortunately. Trump is against wars. But yes go vote for Kamala. Good luck with that. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Because they are uncommitted DEMOCRATS.. very simple.
Trymp is NOT the President. Go ask k*maala and b*den why they let all these wars happen. At least therr was pe*ce when trump was prjsident. But good luck with k*mala cuz she is b*den 2.0🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ These wars will be 4ever. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Hmm. They are not Republican voters. They have no leverage with Republicans.
So if you are uncommitted you should not have demands because you already don't care who is elected
Voting for either party is a vote for Israel. Just a fact.
True. Only difference is dems won't try to stay in power if voted out. Republicans have gone full commies, dictators, extreme white supremacists. Can't let them in the WH. You'll never get it back. They are insane
Vote 3rd party, any one you like. A majority of non-party votes does have power! Do not discount RFK Jr. He does support Israel, but he is also vehemently against genocide, apartheid and imperialism. That is the formula for the "two state solution" The Kennedy family has been fighting zi onism for decades. RFK Jr might just know what he is doing.
@@FarmerBrutusIf he is for Israel, he is for apartheid and genocide
@666THEMARK666 NOPE!!!! HARRIS DECLINE TO PRESIDE OVER NETANYAHU SPEECH AS VP, THEN TOLD TO HIS FACE & THEN TO WORLD END THIS WAR, WND THE SUFFERING. NO MORE DEAD KIDS. AID TO FEED THE STARVING. 2 STATE PALESTINE SOVEREIGN STATE.
NETANYAHU UNITES WITH TRUMP TO EXTERMINATE ALL PALESTINIANS AND TAKE THEIR LAND. NETANYAHU PLEDGES GAZA, WEST BANK LAND FOR TRUMP TOWERS. ADELSON DONATES 100 MILLION TO ANNEX WEST BANK.
WAKE UP. PALESTINIANS ASK YOU TO COTE FOR HARRIS. PRESSURE HER WHEN SHE GETS IN. SHE WILL ACT AS PRESIDENT. PRESSURE WHEN IN OFFICE TO GET BEST OUTCOME.
3RD PARTY GIVE LAND TO ISRAEL. TRUMP NETANYAHU UNITE AND THANK YOU. THE DIVISION WORKS.
3RD PARTY DOES NOT HAVE THE VOTES. TOO BAD BUT I VOTE DEM AS NOT GOING TO LET TRUMP WIN. AND HARRIS IS FOLLOWING THRU WITH HER PLEDGES
SHE IS CATCHING HELL FROM AIPAC PPL FOR HER WALZ CHOICE. NOT THEIR DECISION. IT WAS HERS.
@@FarmerBrutus😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have no hope they will stop genocide as that is this nation. But I do have hope we can force them to stop it
Republicans in Congress sent weapons to Israel - and cheered Netanyahu No mention of them What gives ?
Thank you Asma!!!!!!!!❤

Walz has no bonds. She’s not telling a truth here.
@@TriggerHappy923 Yes she is telling the truth. MN has big investments and he refused.
@@Walt-w the committee had to vote on it, this isn’t walz’s personal account, his own investment, this is something would be voted on. He cannot do anything himself.
Excellent, Ms. Amsa! 👍 To financially protest the U.S. Government's harmful weapons policy, I stopped purchasing (and dividend reinvestments) any funds holding U.S. Treasury notes or bills.
😂😂😂😂 broke ass joker talking about reallocating his mutual funds 😂😂😂😂
I`m sure the USA government is quaking in their boots at losing your money
Don't worry. BERSHIRE HATHAWAY just bought what you didn't.
Be foolish, stay poor for something you can't change....fond another way and be better financially secure
@@CattyWampus_OFG , U.S. treasury securities do not pay the highest yield in comparison to long-term investments in stock markets or emerging market bonds. Also, municipal bond funds provide a sufficient alternative to investors, who do not wish to invest in U.S. Government bonds. If you truly believe that only U.S. Government bonds lead to financial security, expand your financial horizon.
They both already called for a ceasefire, back in March - but keep up the pressure. Aipac is out of control.
Don't be fooled. They called for the same type of ceasefire as Netanyahu- a temporary ceasefire then continue genocide after hostages are released. Harris and Walz are both zionists.
She called for a ceasefire that would last a few weeks, it was meaningless.
@@BericD Exactly. It was an attempt to fool liberals. Harris basically supported Netanyahu's version of ceasefire. Sick.
"at least the next six weeks." We will never know if that would have been meaningless or meaningful, since it didn't happen. Not much she could do, given the fact she was over-ruled. I wouldn't look to trump for a pathway out of this mess.
Harris endorsed the Netanyahu ceasefire plan: a few weeks, then continue the genocide after prisoner swap. Don't fall for that liberal trick.
Show up and vote for Jill stein
Is it fair to bring the protest up in her face at HER rally? Was it right to disrespect her even after she asked them nicely? How do you advance your cause by engaging in this manner? Why has this group never protested at a Trump Rally ?
Because we believe we still have a voice with Kamala. And we are her constituent. We want her to support us so we can support her.
We are so angry about this issue. It is the hill we are willing to die on. The question is will Kamala shoot us down or will she hear us out?
Disruption and agitation is how we create social change.
That is how normal democracies work though? You pressure the candidate you think is most lilely to listen to you. Her rally is her attempt to show why people should vote for her. The protestors tried to get her to say the thing that would get them to vote for her. If you're making a sales pitch, people are going to ask questions related to whatever you're selling. It's fair game, as long as we're in a real democracy.
@@bazs2855 Nonsense! you want to hold your issue to ransom for a vote!- go ahead and do it respectfully
I could get behind that, the Democratic ticket should be challenged into making their base more inclusive.
It's a communist party
It's not enough to just ask for peace. Both sides claim that they have exclusive right to the land that they are living on. We can't just have the two sides grudgingly laying down their weapons and barley tolerating each other and deciding not to shoot each other only for the moment. What also has to be focused on is hate. Hate is the fuel that drives the conflict. Virulent hatred by the Israelis against the Palestinians. Hatred by the Palestinian Hamas, who actually had, maybe still have, training camps to teach Palestinian children to hate Israelis as well as combat training and how to use weapons as well as training the children to be suicide bombers.
Long ago, the Beatles had it right. Love Is All You Need! Love, Love, Love.
Love your enemy! Turn the other cheek! And who does THAT sound like? Certainly not someone listened to by either side.
To get the Israelis and the Palestinians to love each other will be much harder to do than simply just have peace.
Hmm. So we'll start by simply enforcing our own laws on not arming war criminals.
I'm getting whiplash from Democracy Now's toggling between condemning the holocaust of Palestine and shilling for the Democrats who are effectively committing the holocaust of Palestine.
I don't see how this is shilling for Democrats.
What Trumpian/Republican groups do you know of that are protesting what is going on in the State of Palestine?
There are none. They are the pro-racism party.
They constantly give liberal zionists a platform too
If the repubs had a mitt Romney type candidate not voting for the dems would be justified but its trump who would let Israel give Gaza and the west bank the trail of tears treatment immediately.
Correct. (replying to op)
Not our war..
Free PALESTINE❤❤❤❤❤
True, without a promise for a ceasefire, I can’t bring myself to vote for Harris.
The ceasefire will not bring lasting peace.
The State of Palestine must be acknowledged as a full member state of the UN.
The US needs to truly back-up the 2-state solution and stop the BS obfuscation!
I will not vote for a racist for public office.
If someone supports Zionists - Jewish Supremacist; then they support racism. If you support racism, you are a racist.
Racism is the root issue.
Your position puts Palestine ahead of your own country. Do you think Trump gives one crap about Palestine? 😊
@@annfarnell1642 it’s about liars and culpability. If Trump becomes president, it could propel even more push for change. If Harris becomes president, would it remain status quo and little gets done?
@@di_kid00 Trump does not represent change unless you are in favor of going backwards. Do you have any idea what Trump intends to do? Are you even keeping up with his threats to try and steal the election again? You are worried about another country seemingly with no sense of what is going on here. it was Trump who moved the Am embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. it was Trump who signed the Abrahamic Accords. it was Trump who designated Jews as a distinct race, meaning non Arab. it is the Palestinians who want to be viewed as a distinct race ( non-Arab although they genetically are Arab). Hamas was enraged by the embassy move. Further, i am pretty sure you have not bothered to Google Hamas’s Declarations. Trump and Bibi are a like. Both are dictator types. it was the Republican Party that invited Bibi to speak before Congress as a slap in the face of Biden. you actually do not have a clue as to what our political parties stand for and who has worked his ass off to keep the entire ME from blowing up over this issue. Hamas is backed by Iran. Iran is backed by Russia. None give one hoot about the Palestinian people especially Hamas.
Trump listen to the people in 2016 not to go to war but I understand if you don’t feel like Trump will change anything
We’re getting to the point where we need to stop paying this government
You can leave ....
If you think a tiny failed state like Gaza is an important factor on our ballot you should have left a long time ago. You can move to Gaza and dedicate yourself to change. Good luck, Gaza had decades and millions of dollars to make at least subtle improvements but it continued to fail itself. The entire Middle East could have helped Gaza but they didn't. Then Gaza puts Hamas as their leadership and a weak Hamas attacks a strong Israel knowing they just put their own civilians lives at risk by hiding behind the innocents. Logic over emotion equals maturity. Think with more logic unless you want to stay in an emotional child's mindset for the rest of your life. If you are actually a child then I apologize because you'll hopefully grow up and find humility and logic.
Been that way for years. Government set up by the rich for the rich, ratchet effect, etc.
It’s illegal under international law to pay US taxes
Enjoy the flight back 👋🏼
The vice president is going to help Israel what is wrong with you people she's doing this so she can be elected once she's elected Palestine is over
She's doing what? Currently she's not even doing what's necessary for her to be elected.
Thank you Asma, May God Bless you.
Free Congo
Hahahahahahaha...
No one cares
The US is complicit. WHY are we doing this? Harris-Walz needs to embrace this question and act on it.
No, we are not .
@@derbywinner6316wake up ffs
@@derbywinner6316 We objectively are… We provide the arms, and cover for their crimes with our power in the UN. We ignored the findings of the international courts… So what’s your counter argument to that? How are we not complicit?
It is their campaign and they get to decide on which issues to highlight-
I am pretty sure the US government is not stopping Hamas from returning hostages.
Rep (Democrat) Talib started this mess because she refused to call out Netanyahu instead her and her supporters call out Biden/Harris? They are helping Trump just like Trump and the GOP is helping Netanyahu and Netanyahu is a Trump supporter.
They did call out Netanyahu, she literally showed up to protest him along with the Protesters when he came and made a statement.
Ask Trump about it
A cease fire in Gaza would leave hamas intact and still armed.
If she was any leader, she would call for the unconditional surrender, not a cease fire.
Hmm. That is the 'policy' that is currently causing the economic, social, and moral collapse of the self-proclaimed 'most moral country'...
I support this movement, but didn’t Kamala already have a press conference calling for a ceasefire plan after she didn’t show up to Netanyahu’s address to congress? What more is there to say until she is in office? There’s nothing more she can do until then because Joe Biden is still the president.
BS.
She can stand up and tell the truth about her position on the State of Palestine.
She has only said the obfuscated political word salad that everyone - including Biden - has said for decades.
It is time for change.
Yes. She can do more.
She can speak for herself, and she can tell Biden that he needs to ACKNOWLEDGE the State of Palestine as a full member state of the UN to help insure that she will win the vote in November.
If she can't clearly state her views on the State of Palestine before the election, she will be the one responsible for a possible loss to Trump and the end of American democracy. That will be on her and her racism and no one else.
She should know that there are enough of us to make a difference in the election on multiple levels and behave like a public servant and not like a dictator - even if a benevolent one.
She should listen to the people.
War crimes are wrong.
Torture is wrong.
The untype g-word is wrong.
She should do the correct and moral thing to bring peace to the Middle East and stop this over 75 years of supporting racism and hate by the Zionists.
And, yes, Biden is a self-proclaimed Zionist - a Jewish Supremacist - a racist!
It is also on him if his racism is more important than American democracy.
I have no idea where in the Catholic doctrines it says to support crimes against humanity like war crimes, torture, rape, and the untyped g-word. Certainly, the teachings of Jesus opposed all of those things!
She can urge peace with Hamas, CUT all arms to Israel and threaten sanctions to force them to accept the One State Solution (Post Apartheid Africa style) . she also needs to update her vocab in keeping with the ICC and ICJ and openly call them an Apartheid.
It also did not help, when recently, she shut down some pro-palestine protesters using lesser of two evils Orange Man Bad rhetoric, instead of siezing the opportunity to distance herself from Biden and speak about how Israel will be brought to heel under her reign.
She also (like Walz) keeps ignoring the Palestinian right of armed resistance, by constantly dredging up "Oct 7 was an atrocity" ignoring all the Palestinian civillians slaughtered on Oct 7, when the IDF started carpet bombing just hours later.
We need her to dump the pro-israel biden playbook and take a strong and harsh stance on israel as she rightfully does with Russia.
It seems they want a firm commitment. Harris did meet Netanyahu personally the day after he made his plea for more money to support Israel. So far Harris hasn't been specific on what she would do if she were president. What are the first steps she would make to end this war? So far she has been vague with specifics. Jill Stein laid out her plans step by step on ending this war.
She’s in office right now. Why would anyone expect anything other than the status quo from her?
@@zemorakeller6725she will not end this war
They will not they will not help Palestine they will help destroy Palestine what is wrong with these people
Iran backed up Hamas..so it'll be a war with Iran..not Israel..
Taalk about Bibi and Hamas. Frankly its fine to be uncommitted and you will love Trump.
Ouch!
Save countries across sea's VOTE TRUMP!
Its really horrible what is happening in Gaza. Israel has lost all perspective.
American who is support Israel has lost all perspective.
Ironic you’d say that when you clearly only listen to one side
...but you all for Hamas tossing babies in ovens....you're such a outstanding human being.
Exactly.....they don't want to talk about Hamas raping women and putting babies in ovens and turning them on while making the mother's watch.
Whether right or wrong, more people in this country, including more people on the left, sympathize with Israel over Palestine. Catering to the "pro-palestine" crowd will only lose votes from the people who were actually going to vote in the first place. You can personally feel that Israel is wrong on so many levels, but if you are holding your breath for the day when politicians in this country are going to cater to the "pro Palestine" crowd over the "pro Israel" crowd, you'll be blue in the face. Also, I totally get people calling out the atrocities of the Israeli government, but I don't understand, at all, the seeming inability of anyone on the left to acknowledge, in 2024, that Palestinians are not the model example of a pluralistic, forward thinking society either. When did they become our role models? When did Islam get elevated on the left as some virtuous belief system? I thought it was the left's job to call out the insanity of religion in all of its forms. How are we at the point where we are applauding a country that still treats women like slaves, executes homosexuals, and doesn't allow for even basic freedom of expression. How has this society become the model society of what we aspire to be as humans? Does Palestine, generally speaking, really have values that in any way are compatible with liberal values? End rant
What people need to call uncommitted voters is Voters of Conscience. For, that is what they are - and, the term by which the world should know them.
Voters of conscience: Demand recognition as such.

He is progressive
@@timc1604 What is progressive about continuing to fund a genocide? What's progressive about helping the expansion of a settler colonial state in the Middle East?

Moreover, they are progressive on domestic policy.

Kamala doesn't care about the younger mind set, she is just pandering and looking to fool the younger mind set and that of liberals. You can't be progressive, but Palestine. Harris and Walz are openly pro-zionist over the years.
Nothing will change with Harris please keep thé uncommited vote
ok fine if they dont show up to vote good luck under Trump. Remember Kamala and all Dem leaders whoever you wont vote for will be fine if Trump wins...
Hopefully there are enough non-Muslim, non-far leftists in Michigan (perhaps newly registered Black folks in the urban centers, center-left and center-right moderate suburban women, disaffected republicans) to strengthen the Democratic voting numbers in case those individuals in the Muslim community feel compelled to sit this election out. We gotta save democracy here in the USA with the Harris-Walz ticket above all else.

This is shameful and unwise for team Harris & Walz to ignore the "Muslim Women for Harris" with their cry for a legitimate concern and important issue. NO Muslim allows to speak at the convention but an Israelis is invited to speak??? This issue is NOT only for the moment, but it will be a long term issue for the Harris Administration if they win the presidency. A BAD decision and a BAD start with such a lack of sensitivity for such an important topic for a group of American voters.
I'm not voting for Kamala although I'd like to see a woman as president. I can't in good conscience vote for her because of the ongoing genocide...
Voting for Jill Stein.
@@FM-ln2sb great choice:)
And what good do you think that would do other than make Trump win. Some of y'all get so wrapped up in a kind of idealism that I agree with but in reality creates a kind of harmful stubbornness that results in more harm than good. People need to prevent Trump from winning first instead of being so hung up on not having the perfect candidate.
@@SquakingOfTheCrows Only liberals talk like you. DNC is dangerous and harmful undemocratic party. Kamala was not elected in primaries, she was selected by donor/elite. Save your false moral high ground. DNC is no less dangerous than the GOP/Trump.

I guess you can all feel morally superior though, thats good i guess…
But HAMAS breaks the cease fire. This is dumb.
The last thing the democratic party needs to do is listen to these people. The general public, left, right, or center, are not nearly as anti-Israel as people in their bubbles seem to think; poll after poll shows that even on college campuses, not nearly as many students are wrapped up in this melodrama as the news would have you believe. Trying to cater to the far left to gain one vote maybe will only lose a dozen more from reasonable people. Most of these people couldn't point to the middle east on a map two years ago but now act like being "pro Palestinian" is a literal part of their very identity. Final thought, if anyone in the US right now thinks that they have the luxury to throw their vote away on a protest candidate, or just not vote as some kind of self-righteous gesture needs to seriously ask themselves if Donald Trump will be a better "ally" to Palestinians than Harris, and is the Israel-Palestine conflict REALLY the thing that is going to impact their day to day lives so much that they would vote one way or the other based on how a candidate feels on this issue. I'm caring about who will uphold democracy here. I'm worried about who won't strip the rights from women away here. I'm worried about people trying to force the teaching of the bible in schools here. We have our own problems. It doesn't mean don't ccare about the rest of the world, it means get your own house in order so to speak before trying to be the virtue signalling savior for the rest of the world.
Keep up the pressure. No arms to the Middle East.

voting for Trump
A vote for Kamala is a vote for Trump.
Literally not true.
Good grief, what do all of folks protesting about Palestine think Trump is gonna do if he gets back in? Trump will hand Gaza over to Netanyahu on a platter!
they voted for Hamas now they need to sleep in the bed they made. Nobody told them to build tunnels and buy rockets 😂 better be a golden platter
Trump does not have any power to do that. If Netanyahu wants Gaza back he can take it himself and there is nothing that any country can do about it. There is no Palestine and there has never been a Palestine. There were no Palestinians when Jesus, Moses, Mary, Ruth, Sara, and Abraham were alive. In 1967 what do you know an ethnic group was made up 😂😂😂😂😂
I highly doubt that. How many Palestinians were killed 2016-2020 ( and how many peace deals were done in those years...4 peace deals and Palestinians lived in peace.
You're foolish but keep getting them killed by you're bad votes.
What 2 presidents saw the most Palestinians killed.
1.Biden 2020-2024
2. Obama 2008-2016
2016-2020 Palestinians lived in peace....sorry facts hurt you're feelings

Good grief, what do all folks who just blindly vote for Democrats when the Democrats continue to fund Israel in both aid and weapons, while allowing AIPAC to fund anti-progressive candidates of their party?
I love Asma's clear mind in regard to the ongoing occupation and genocide.
She and the many others from various political parties and cultures and belief systems etc. who see the evil in what is happening in Gaza (and other places) underscore in my mind the bizarre nature of life on Earth, which is this: If the majority of human beings were sane, there would be no need to struggle for peace. This sane majority could never support any politician that would entertain even briefly the idea of supporting occupation and mass murder/genocide anywhere, forever.
And that's really the only universal problem: human insanity.
Yeah…im still not voting for this ticket.
Free free palestine
Netanyahu is waiting and hoping for Trump to come back. He has no reason to push for peace now and help Democrats, not to mention end his own career which expires when the war ends. Hamas is also motivated to keep the fighting going. Peaceful resolution does not serve their goal.
Many regular people in Palestine and Israel want peace, but the people in power do not.
Trump has more peace deals in middle east then any other president.
Fact...
Im sorry but you can't force Harris hand . Hell if you want trump then they can go vote for trump . Um with HARRIS . GO TO ISRAEL IF YOU WANT TO PROTEST WHAT'S GOING ON . HELL GO TO A TRUMP RALLY AND DO THAT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS 😅 I FORGOT YALL ANT THAT STUPID
The Harris response to protestors in MI made her look really bad. Definitely not voting for her.
Even though, her response to the protesters wasn't great. She still agreed to a meeting with them. Hopefully, they come to an agreement together. Gotta stay hopeful to make change. 🙏
@@theFILMaDDICT16 gotta sound delusional. Maybe wait till she actually announces a change in policy.

@@shoneek she cant acknowledg the protestors and then mention the plight of the Palestinians? That wouldn't go against Biden & she would be vocalizing her concerns for the situation. Not ideal but it would've went over way better.
@@schmuckytheraiderbear5043She was in the middle of talking about domestic issues. She acknowledged them very kindly twice and asked them to let her continue speaking. They didn’t stop so she got more stern. That’s usually what you should expect when you’re interrupting a speech. No threats, no physical harm, no denegration. She simply commanded respect in that moment. Remember she’s done
Many things to signal her support but in that moment she had a message to bring.
Spoiler alert: Harris said no to an arms embargo
Dont worry about our guns Gaza Girl!
I do not support Netanyahu, but Hamas could have had a ceasefire long ago, if they had just given the hostages back. Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar made it clear in a statement a little less than two months ago that they were in a good place and that their own Palestinian civilians who had lost their lives were acceptable casualties. Yahya Sinwar is also responsible for torture of his own people, according to many sources. But Hamas just chose Yahya Sinwar as their top leader. How will a ceasefire last with Yahya Sinwar in this position? I am absolutely for a two-state solution and even for giving Palestinians a greater part of the land, but I no longer believe that this is an acceptable goal for the majority of Palestinians. Certainly leaders like Yahya Sinwar, at least, want to erase Israel from the map and Jews from the region.

"UN experts urge all States to recognise State of Palestine
GENEVA (3 June 2024) - All States must follow the example of 146 United Nations Member States and recognise the State of Palestine and use all political and diplomatic resources at their disposal to bring about an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, UN experts* said today.
“This recognition is an important acknowledgement of the rights of the Palestinian people and their struggles and suffering towards freedom and independence,” the experts said.
They insisted that Palestine must be able to enjoy full self-determination, including the ability to exist, determine their destiny and develop freely as a people with safety and security.
“This is a pre-condition for lasting peace in Palestine and the entire Middle East - beginning with the immediate declaration of a ceasefire in Gaza and no further military incursions into Rafah,” the experts said.
The State of Palestine, formally declared by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on 15 November 1988, claims sovereignty over the remaining parts of historic Palestine that Israel occupied in 1967: the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip.
As of 28 May 2024, the State of Palestine was recognised by the vast majority of Member States of the United Nations.
The experts welcomed the latest recognitions of the occupied Palestinian territory as a State by Norway, Ireland and Spain, which comes after the General Assembly overwhelmingly voted - with 143 votes in favour to nine votes against - to back Palestine’s bid to become a full member of the United Nations on 10 May 2024...."- ohchr (United Nations: Human Rights: Office of the High Commissioner) 06/03/2024

"The Security Council reaffirmed this afternoon that Israel’s establishment of settlements in Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, had no legal validity, constituting a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the vision of two States living side-by-side in peace and security, within internationally recognized borders.
Adopting resolution 2334 (2016) by 14 votes, with the United States abstaining, the Council reiterated its demand that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. It underlined that it would not recognize any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the two sides through negotiations." - un website 12/2016

The International Court of Justice has described Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories as "unlawful."
The court in The Hague released an advisory opinion on Friday about Israel's occupation, which began in 1967.
It says Israel is under an obligation to immediately cease new settlement activities, and to evacuate all settlers from occupied Palestinian territory.
Israel continues to attack the Gaza Strip, and will likely come under more criticism now that the court has deemed the settlement policy to be illegal.
