DNC Chair Withdraws Resolution Recognizing Israel’s Right to Exist

DNC Chair Withdraws Resolution Recognizing Israel’s Right to Exist

Ken Martin made the move after the panel unanimously voted to advance his resolution!

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin withdrew his Israel-Gaza resolution from consideration after the members punted on a more extreme resolution.

The Democrats are in disarray.

Martin’s resolution demanded the release of all hostages, a two-state solution, and a ceasefire.

Martin said:

So today, I introduced a resolution, resolution three, which was focused on finding common ground in our party on a very heartbreaking humanitarian issue, and it’s aligned with our party platform. This crisis in Gaza is urgent, and my resolution is focused on that humanitarian crisis, and makes it clear that it must be addressed as the emergency that it is.

Now 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 my amendment and resolution to allow us to move forward on a conversation on this as a party.

Martin told everyone he would form a committee compromised of everyone “on all sides” of the issue “continue to have the conversation, to work through this, and bring solutions back to” the Democratic Party.

Get this. The DNC panel voted unanimously to advance Martin’s resolution!

But since DNC member Allison Minnerly’s resolution failed, Martin withdrew his.

Minnerly’s resolution demanded a ceasefire, arms embargo, suspending military aid, and recognizing a Palestinian state.

Many applauded Martin’s decision…except for Minnerly.

In fact, Minnerly expressed disappointment that Martin dropped his resolution:

Martin’s decision was greeted by applause in the room. But Allison Minnerly, the Florida DNC member who submitted the failed measure, said that while Martin had “placed a comma” on the conversation, it was still “disappointing” when “it’s clear what voters want.”

“I think that there could have been more intentional conversation sooner,” Minnerly said. “I do think that his decision to pull his resolution now might reflect, maybe, some inner thoughts and fears that even the establishment Democratic Party, here at the DNC, is not aligned with the base and trying to avoid that conversation because it’s already created a problem with the party.”

What a coward.

Minnerly confuses me, though, because she put forth a radical resolution, but reminded DNC members that “[S]even percent of Democrats support the party’s current position in this conflict and in this crisis, in service to our voters and as the body that is responsible for electing Democrats, we must give clear and actionable items and solutions to our members that align us with our voters.”

So…if only seven percent support the current position then why bother with an extreme resolution? I don’t get it.

A few people said Martin’s resolution did not go far enough, but failed to explain how far they wanted it to go.

I’m not a fan of the DNC, but they sure are interesting to watch.

    “Today, I introduced a resolution that no one will like, makes us look like Hamas supporters, and wishes for a hasty termination of Israel. My desire for a two state solution is Gaza exists, and Israel does not. We will take into consideration Israel’s right to exist, and then deny them that consideration.”

    Sincerely, Ken.

    If you really want to observe them in their natural habitat, go to a place called “DebatePolitics.”

    There you will find the rank and file, party loyalists and hyperpartisans.

    Their presence is overwhelming with a ratio of roughly ten to one.

    I recommend the sub-section “General Political Discussion.”

    Spend some time there reading and you will see why their party is in the state it is.

Don’t step on any of that. It is hard to get off of your boots.

    How did they ever find time to consider a resolution on Israel, when they can’t even decide on whether the DNC held their meeting on stolen land?

I see the Radida Tlaib squad made sure anitsemitism remains strong in the DNC.

I’m eagerly anticipating the mandatory discussion about sensory overload, jazz hands to replace applause, and unnecessarily gendered language by the comrades.

    It’s a three-parter. Hilarious to watch when you have some spare time.

    What happened to snapping fingers? Too loud?

      henrybowman in reply to ztakddot. | August 27, 2025 at 12:45 am

      If you watch #1 in the three part series, you’ll see the security chief telling people there’s a room where you can get audio of the meeting without video, and another room where you can get video of the meeting without audio, in which people are warned not to enter that room if they are even wearing strong scents (probably also loud, fluorescent hair).
      Right now, I’m using the room where there is neither video nor audio of the meeting, and defending it against all comers.

The self-absorbed hubris of these leftists would be hilarious, if they weren’t so deadly when in power.

They don’t get to decide squat about Israel. Only Israelis, their govt., military, and economy get to decide about ‘right to exist.’

    There will never be a peaceful 2 state solution. They can impose a 2 state solution but the muslims will never give up their war with Israel.

The Dhimmi-crat Party is the Hamas/Muslim terrorist/Islamofascist party.

Call it the “red-green” alliance, or, whatever moniker you want.

Over the past fifty years, the vile, stupid and evil Dhimmi-crats never met a genocidal, Jew-hating, Christian-hating and Hindu-hating Muslim terrorist group or terrorist regime whom it didn’t obsequiously kowtow to, appease, fund, whitewash, rationalize, lionize and otherwise enable.

    50?

    Through this inscription I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the Democratic party. I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that all the misfortunes of our nation has come to it through this so called party therefore beware of this party of treason.

we welcome all the newest jewish voters to the trump 2028 re-re election

Allison Minnerly is 26 and from Florida. Yet another know nothing. She and Hogg should hook up. A perfect match made in hell.

Let’s hope the Republicans are going to follow their redistricting initiatives with exceptional candidates being presented to the electorate.

But, I don’t know that they can get past their own moral corruption.

Palestine is a fictional construct of mooslim conquest wars

I hope all of this makes into
the campaign ads …. especially
NY and FL….

As I noted in an earlier comment thread on the DNC meeting, they do not consider the existence of our own country to be legitimate. So why would anyone expect them to regard the existence of Israel to be legitimate?

Subotai Bahadur

Note that literally nobody questions the rights of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan to exist, even though they were all created by the Mandate process initiated after WW I. Why is Israel singled out as being “illegitimate”? Oh, the others are Muslim and Christian nations (Lebanon, for all the good the designation has done for them). They’re good. Jews are bad. Got it.

    TopSecret in reply to DaveGinOly. | August 26, 2025 at 10:55 pm

    No one has any problem with there being dozens of Muslim countries, but the Jews aren’t allowed one country on their homeland? Judaism existed long before Mohammed had delusions that Al was talking to him.

I’m absolutely shocked that the number of D’s that would even consider that Israel has a right to exist is >0

That’s the real news here.
