The big story this week was the Democratic National Convention, where Kamala Harris was nominated to run against Donald Trump this November.

Our hope for a ceasefire has been weaponized against us. Every time politicians issue statements, mediators shuttle between capitals, headlines promise a breakthrough, and then it all falls apart. And every time, my hope breaks me.

Western media companies have made themselves a part of the mechanism of genocide in Palestine, and there are historical precedents for holding them accountable.

In 2021, Israel killed 22 members of Palestinian artist Zainab Alqolaq’s family in an attack on their home in Gaza. Today, Alqolaq is struggling to survive the current genocide, yet she’s determined to see justice prevail.

The Ne’eman Foundation, which recently had its charitable status revoked in Canada, is deeply entwined with settler violence in the occupied Palestinian territory and represents the Judeo-fascist edge of the Canada-to-Israel charity pipeline.

The real reason Netanyahu refuses to end the genocidal war on Gaza is because his short-term political interests have perfectly lined up with Zionism’s long-term goal — the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

The Democratic National Convention did not go well for supporters of Palestinian rights where Democrats were largely successful in burying their deep complicity in the Gaza genocide.

Israel continues to bomb several school shelters across Gaza, killing dozens of displaced civilians. Meanwhile, Israel’s internal security chief said settler violence “threatens Israel’s security.”

Voters have continually been told that Democrats want an end to the bloodshed and feel bad about dead Palestinians, but on Wednesday the Uncommitted National Movement was told they wouldn’t be granted a speaking slot at the convention.

Liberals are demanding that Black people in the U.S. put aside our long tradition of anti-imperialism to support Kamala Harris and sacrifice Palestine in the process.
