Code Pink

[Zam-Zam]

Democrats used to love'em...Today, not-so-much:

Tim Walz interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters
The vice presidential pick did not address the protesters at a Women's Caucus event.

Vice presidential nominee Tim Walz was interrupted while addressing the Women’s Caucus on the sidelines of the Democratic National Convention Tuesday morning by a handful of pro-Palestinian protesters.

The demonstrators from Code Pink chanted “stop killing women in Gaza” and wielded banners that said “Kamala: No weapons to Israel” and "arms embargo now." Walz did not address the protesters, who were drowned out by chants of “USA” from the crowd in the ballroom at McCormick Place and quickly escorted out of the room by security.

The disruption comes as delegates in the pro-Palestinian "uncommitted" movement have been pushing for not just an immediate and permanent cease-fire in Gaza but an arms embargo against Israel, which Harris does not support. The party platform adopted by Democratic delegates on Monday calls for "an immediate and lasting cease-fire deal," but also stresses Israel's "ironclad" right to defend itself.

Opposition to genocide should not be a partisan issue.

The Jews' human rights violations in Gaza include replacing four-legged dogs with two-legged substitutes:

"The Israel Defense Forces has decided to downsize the Oketz unit, Unit 7142, ahead of its cancellation.

"The unit for dogs and their trainers has been suffering from a shortage recently.

"Quite a number of dogs have been killed in the Gaza Strip, and it was therefore decided to use cheaper, more efficient means. It turns out that the new unit, which has yet to be given a name by the IDF computer, brings the same operational results.

"There’s no need to train dogs for months, no need for the iron muzzles that shut their frightening jaws, and their food will be cheaper,pp too: Instead of expensive Bonzo dog food, leftovers from battle rations..."

"On Tuesday, Haaretz published a photo of one of the new dogs on the first page: a young resident of Gaza in handcuffs, dressed in rags that were once uniforms, his eyes covered with a rag, his gaze downcast, armed soldiers standing next to him.

"Yaniv Kubovich, the most courageous military correspondent in Israel, and Michael Hauser Tov revealed that the IDF uses Palestinian civilians to check tunnels in Gaza. 'Our lives are more important than their lives,' the commanders told the soldiers, repeating what is self-evident.

"These new 'dogs' are sent to the tunnels in handcuffs.

"Cameras are attached to their bodies, and from them one can hear the sound of their frightened breathing."
