From the New York Post: A Muslim group backing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election announced Wednesday that it will disband over her campaign’s alleged refusal to allow a Palestinian speaker on stage at the Democratic National Convention.
The decision by Muslim Women for Harris-Walz to withdraw support for the vice president comes after Uncommitted Movement delegates staged a sit-in protest outside the primary DNC venue Wednesday night – leading several Democratic lawmakers to criticize convention organizers for “making a tragic mistake.”
“We cannot in good conscience, continue Muslim Women for Harris-Walz, in light of this new information from the Uncommitted movement, that VP Harris’ team declined their request to have a Palestinian American speaker take the stage at the DNC,” Muslim Women for Harris-Walz said in a statement.
“The family of the Israeli hostage that was on the stage tonight has shown more empathy towards Palestinian Americans and Palestinians than our candidate or the DNC has,” the group complained in a post on their Facebook page.
“This is a terrible message to send to Democrats. Palestinians have the right to speak about Palestine,” they declared.
In a separate post, the group wrote, “We stand with our sisters and brothers at Uncommitted National Movement who have been working tirelessly with the Democratic Party to highlight the horrors of the War in Gaza, emphasize the humanity of Palestinians, and bring an end to this tragedy. The DNC should hear Palestinian voices..”
