DNC to overwhelming Democratic base: “Not prudent to call out Israel’s genocide and cut off all US genocide weapons.”
The progressive Democratic base is fed up with America’s enabling of Israeli genocide in Gaza. Over three quarters of the base (77%) are calling Israel’s destruction of Gaza and the Palestinians there what is surely is… genocide. Only 8% of Democrats support Israel’s war on Gaza. Calling the genocide a war on Gaza is akin to calling the Nazi death camps a war on European Jewry.
Astonishingly, at the DNC summer meeting, DNC Chair Ken Martin and his resolutions panel rejected a resolution calling for a US arms embargo to Israel and urging support for a Palestinian state. Martin’s reasoning essentially supports America’s enabling of Israeli genocide:
“I know that there are some who are interested in making changes today, but as we’ve seen, there’s divide in our party on this issue. This is a moment that calls for shared dialogue. It calls for shared advocacy, and that’s why I’ve decided today, at this moment, listening to the testimony and listening to people in our party, to withdraw the resolution.”
Martin and the DNC are not “listening to people in our party.” They’re listening to the Joe Biden wing of the Democratic elite totally committed to creation of Greater Israel to maintain US dominance over the Middle East. That dominance is being erected over the bodies of the entire Palestinian population in their own homeland.
Martin and his minions appear oblivious that support of genocide cost Democratic nominee Kamala Harris millions of votes last year, helping propel Trump back into the White House. These voters, disgusted with Democratic support and enabling of Israeli genocide, will never come back till the Party pivots away from genocide to peace and a Palestinian state.
Tragically for Democratic hopes in ’26 and ’28, Ken Martin and the DNC squandered a chance to begin that pivot.

USA political machinations sicken world political outlook, for the brightness of Trump is weaker than shining from pigshit in a dark sty. Now, Mr. Zlotow informs us of the dithery Democrats, of their incapability to grasp, to navigate, to stay afloat, to just perceive. The immense inflation of USA political influence in everything of international activity deadens hopes fatally. We must even aim to outfilth the filth, get rid of it and its practitioners by any means. Hope for us all depends on this.
MISS LIBERTY’S TRUNCHEON
So here we have US ignorance, dogma, bigotry, hypocrisy and hegemony across the nation in full view playing out at the Democratic National Convention, and the Democrat controlling elite ignoring its own overwhelming national constituency, significantly responsible for Trump’s return to power – but worse still supporting the continued hostile fatal military arming of Israel, enabling Israel’s conduct and chamber of horrors and genocide in Gaza and Palestine, raising an entire nation to the ground.
Not just Trump but the whole of USA controlling elite and oligarchy is in abject denial of the truth and inhumanity, both parties Democrats and Republicans have brought the USA, Trump and his administrative band of murderous thieves and mercenaries to plague the world and kiss the arse of both Putin and Netanyahu.
Meanwhile today we hear that official United Nations Palestinian representatives and PLO have been denied visas to attend the UN, at its headquarters in New York, denying Palestine access to the UN table, while Israel continues its mass slaughter, justification and denial at the very same table. Under UN convention the US has an obligation and duty to allow access of all UN representatives from across the world.
Meanwhile, Trump has declared, implemented and consolidated his illegal trade war and tariffs as of this weekend on every country across the globe, ally, friend and foe – we all have to suffer his international scams, decrees, senseless pontifications, demented whims and sermons.
How can any self-respecting functioning, responsible State or nation, democracy or not trust the USA when they are responsible for this, where quite clearly the USA has no interest in the people and children of Palestine, Middle Eastern or World peace, and instead conducts it’s manipulative, MAGA tariff trade war on the rest of the world, and global conflicts for profit, power, self-interest and dominion? Worse, Trump is exploiting and pocketing all that profit and power for his very own personal use and empire, trading his stock of crimes, hatred, bullying, victimhood and vengeance.
When will world leaders call it instead of trading in flattery and delegation and swallowing the insults, hypocrisy, malicious narratives and lies of the USA that cause our world so much conflict, misery, poverty, suffering and famine on all levels of political intervention?
USA is not our friend and must no longer host and hold hostage the United Nations to its own desire, and bully or terrorise our world. The USA is no longer a democracy, it no longer represents or listens to its people, it can no longer lead the world nor be trusted. Miss Liberty no longer holds the torch raised up, but a truncheon to its own internal fundamental and unfathomable darkness.
Like blind bats
to the slaughter,
our nemesis,
deaf to the
dimming of the light.
This is not poetry or satire,
mere narrative or big bang,
it is our reality.
Fact is, the GOP and Trump are in power……..
