Abandon Biden protesters unveil banner during his DNC speech

It matters to me so much because I'm *** Jew and I was always brought up to believe that never again means never again for anyone anywhere ever. Period. And that's not what's happening right now. What's happening right now is that we are continuing to fund and support an ongoing genocide, the mass murder of Children and it needs to stop. What's your name? My name is Leon Sharon. I'm, I'm, I'm AD NC delegate from Michigan. What did, what did your, what did your banner say? Stoping? Israel Liano. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We got, we got the response of the other delegates was to try to block out the sign. We tried to rip the sign out. They tried to do that several times, we resisted them, but eventually they got enough people that they were able to do so. They pulled me over in the course of that.

If she wants to win electorally, she needs to have an arms embargo. She needs to enforce the ceasefire because Netanyahu will not acquiesce to *** ceasefire. I don't see any reason that he would acquiesce to *** ceasefire if he's not under *** significant threat of that kind of an arms embark. I dropped the, we did the Biden during Joe Biden's speech because he is the decider. He is the president, but he is the one in charge right now. We dropped the banner. We, we held up the banner, we didn't actually grab it. They tore it out of our hand. We held up the banner during Biden's speech because he's the decider. He's the one that

A couple of protesters from the Abandon Biden movement unfurled a protest sign late Monday that read “STOP ARMING ISRAEL” in the Florida delegation section a few minutes after Biden began his speech. The group, which is pushing for third-party candidates, has been campaigning against Biden’s reelection campaign since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.Israel’s counterattack in Gaza has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to local health authorities, and devastated much of the territory. The war has plunged the territory of 2.3 million people into a humanitarian catastrophe, with aid groups now fearing an outbreak of polio.The sign was quickly wrestled away from the protesters and the lights in that section of the convention were turned off. Other convention goers responded to the protest by chanting “We love Joe” and holding up their banners in support of the president.
