1. At this moment, 40,000 Palestinians have been murdered.

2. That's genuinely heartbreaking. Would be nice to hear from the Palestinians as to the struggles that they've had to deal with during the conflict as well.

   Surely they'll have a voice on the stage come tomorrow, right?

3. 🇮🇱

4. What about the parents of Hind Rajab and other Palestinian children who were murdered by idf
   Racism at its peak

5. This is getting ridiculous….

6. It shouldn’t matter which religion or nationality. Where is the Palestinians reparative? There is now excuse for Gen o side. You are political American position is political.

7. This is dystopian

8. Apparently the shielding is 100% successful. Not even a scratch to a single hummus.

9. Ridiculous

10. Es sind Menschen die getötet werden sowas sollte hart bestraft werden.

11. The DNC is not using this family to emphasize the safety of hostages to Democratic voters, they're using it to paint Hamas as a ruthless "terrorist" organization.

    They don't really care about the hostages, they just want to justify America's continued full support for Israel, even if it means killing tens of thousands of civilians, including children and women.

12. What demos what more protesting? Crazy

13. What about millions held hostages. Hypocrisy

14. And Palestinians said they are the victims… smh 🤦‍♂️

15. This is such a freaking set up… Please answer why is the US funding Israel of billions in war weapons to an area where these alleged "hostages" are? Ya'll cannot be serious….

16. This is not a "political convention" it's called Hollywood.

17. So ! What was "Hersh", an American citizen doing there ? He might hold American citizenship but so do a lot of other people who are also citizens of foreign lands and whose primary loyalty is not to America. At what time is the Palestinian mother and wife whose children and husband (he ran a fruit and vegetable stall) were killed and she herself badly injured, all the family heirlooms gone up in smoke, going to make HER appearance at the Democratic convention ? Tomorrow some time is it ?

18. Guardian is backstabbing it's viewers with this video.

19. The Palestinian ppl are one of the most persecuted in modern history… Being abandoned by their Arab neighbours and civilized nations around the world… What sin could have they committed?… Perhaps their mere existence in that tiny parcel of land… How do one fathom the attrocities endured by these ppl that appear to be stucked in the 18th century living conditions… My heart aches for the Palestinian ppl .. It is hoped that their trials & tribulations will be rewarded with what they rightfully deserve; a free Palestine… Free Palestine!

20. hmmm… when the democrats, by supporting Netanyahu are basically insuring the hostages wont get released….

21. They cry for 150 Israelis 😢 but it doesn't matter that there are more than 2000 Palestinians held hostage by Israel

22. I VOTE for JILL STEIN 💚 2024 as President of America 💯. JILL STEIN is Against Genocide Wars. JILL STEIN is for a higher 💲 minimum wage. Jill STEIN is for Free Health Care for All Americans.

23. Its only fair to bring Palestine victims from Israels attacks on Palestine 🇵🇸 people on stage to

24. Wrong way round. The final statement prioritises hostages' return' unachievable without ending the vengeful response of the Istraelis

25. Hamas will never release the hostages

26. 😢🙏🏾 Prayers for the families of the hostages ✨️

27. Where are the Palestinians voices

28. Now do Palestinian hostage stories

29. To trust Netanyahu is to trust the devil himself.

30. I sympathise with all the parents in this war. But Israel has created this conflict over 75 years and is now pushing its genocidal objectives beyond humanity.

31. Yeah, they picked the wrong convention, huh.

32. I feel for you but I can't fathom how you forget 40,000 killed by your money? Shame

33. Hypocrisy to the max!

34. Such gatherings are held to listen the pain of a parent but mainly blame Hamas, while millions have been the victims of such hypocritical behaviours and thousands just in recent months have been massacred ruthlessly.

35. cynical

36. I can't imagine what you or your son are going through, but you're putting your faith in the wrong people.

37. Dems have one more night to schedule a Palestinian person for the stage.

38. 8000+ Palestinians are being held in Israeli prisons without charge and abused.

    Peace, love and unity celebrations on stolen land?
    "Your terrorists" are people protecting their land.
    They are under apartheid rules in their own country.
    Aren't Palestinians being carpet bombed universes?

39. ❤ I am so sorry 😔

40. Its not a political issue and then name the resistance terrorists

41. Where is Rashida Tlaib?

42. Ok, let’s bring 40,000 family members – whose beloved ones were massacred by Israel – to the DNC. I am sure they have something to say as well.

43. Stop sending Israel war weapons and the hostages will live including Israeli hostages and Palestinian hostages

44. Netanjahus fault
