A range of Democratic supporters have responded to Donald Trump’s plan to “take over” the Gaza Strip and ethnically cleanse the area of Palestinians by turning on third party voters and “uncommitted” Democrats who opposed Kamala Harris’s pledge to continue the Biden administration’s policies toward Israel. Taking a decidedly, “Hope you’re happy now!” attitude, these devoted liberals forget that Trump’s policy represents a continuation of Biden’s policies as well, so pro-Palestinian voters had no major party to support in 2024.
Democracy Now! Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza. The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
