The Democratic National Committee on Tuesday voted down a resolution calling for a suspension of military aid to Israel in the midst of a famine in Gaza that is a direct result of Israel’s near-total blockade on humanitarian aid.
Margaret DeReus, the executive director of IMEU Policy Project, was scathing in her denunciation of the DNC for voting down the resolution and directly called out the influence of pro-Israel groups that have spent millions to defeat progressives like former Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), one of the first Democratic lawmakers to demand a ceasefire after Israel began its assault on Gaza in 2023.
Organizer Asra Nizami noted that “members acknowledged getting hundreds of calls and emails” about supporting the resolution, but voted it down nonetheless.
“This party keeps digging its own grave. And it’s owned by AIPAC,” said Nizami, referring to the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which donated more than $24 million to Democratic candidates in 2024.
Our last president didn’t get the name ‘Genocide Joe’ for nothin’.

DNC: Do No Compassion
Dems so focused on winning center voters that they are willing to sacrifice their base
Dems exist to defend the status quo from leftist upstarts. Winning offices is strictly optional.
No, they’re kowtowing to their donors. Many Democrats get fat checks from the pro-Israel lobby and/or they’re afraid of retaliation from that lobby.
And they’re doing it in the wrong way anyway. Those swing voters aren’t centrist so much as they’re racist union members and the like. You win those firstly with the charisma that comes from actually believing in something other than your own political ambitions, but secondly by having an economic policy that is at all different from Republicans (putting aside the chaos of Trump).
Party of death.
