The Other

A piece in the NY Times about the protests they expect at Dem convention has drawn some interesting comments. Dem stalwarts are outraged that "the far Left" will disrupt the "unity" by mentioning the ongoing slaughter. Not that many people even care about the War on Gaza. Polls show it way down the list of issues motivating voters. After all, Palestinians are Arabs and Muslims for the most part, so why give a shit? "Palestinian rights organizers say that the requests of “uncommitted” delegates for prime-time speaking spots at the convention have been rebuffed, as have their demands for credentials to bring activists into the United Center." The protestors believe they can appeal to the American conscience! So naive. Post script: Demonstrations proved one thing: how weak the movement actually is. Bottom line: no one cares
