Protesting genocide at the Democratic National Convention, with Hatem Abudayyeh
Вставка

- Delegates will be gathering for the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week to officially anoint Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee for president of the United States.
They will be greeted by mass protests under the banner, “Stand with Palestine! End US Aid to Israel!”
We are joined by Hatem Abudayyeh, a spokesperson for the March on the DNC Coalition, which is working to mobilize tens of thousands of people in the streets of Chicago.
The coalition’s call to action accuses the Democratic Party of “financing genocide in Palestine and war in multiple countries; continuing the mass incarceration of Black and brown people; deporting millions of immigrants; and neglecting campaign promises made to the oppressed communities who represent their voting base.”
In the lead up to the Democratic convention, there is a struggle to ensure that protesters can effectively exercise their First Amendment right to be heard. Chicago authorities have delayed issuing protest permits and organizers have sued the city in an attempt to overturn what they see as a restrictive march route imposed by officials.
As well as representing the March on the DNC Coalition, Hatem, a Chicagoan, is national chair of the US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), a leading force in mobilizing Palestinians and allies across the country to protest US suppport for the Israeli genocide.
This is a segment from The Electronic Intifada's day 313 livestream. Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Jon Elmer and Asa Winstanley were joined by Hatem Abudayyeh, a spokesperson for the March on the DNC Coalition, and Abubaker Abed, our contributor live from the Gaza Strip.

We must not be silent while witnessing injustice. Israel is committing war crimes and US is complicit in those crimes.

My support from Amsterdam, the Netherlands 🇵🇸
Instead of arming Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan; US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education...
💯
Yes, it's that simple. Colonial imperialism must end.
If the demonstrators are attacked(and I hope they're not) bring back "the whole world is watching" from '68!
Try being original rather than being tediously repetitive.
@johnsmith1474 try being supportive ❤
It's US imperialist wars that are repetitive. Try reading some history
All power to Hatem & the Coalition to March on DNC from Melbourne, Australia. I wish the march every success. I will be there in spirit. I am one of the people in the streets who have been standing with the beautiful people of Pal3stine for the past 10 months every Sunday here in Melbourne.
The People United Will Never Be Defeated.
Thanks for yet another great video.
✊❤️🇵🇸🌹🫒🗝️🕊️
I stand with you from Arizona!
Never forget the Oct 7th ISLAMIC RAPISTS 😡
I stand with Palestine from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The people united will never be defeated 🫒
My brother will be a delegate to the DNC. His name is Rajan Sengupta. He pledged to me that he will vote against Kamala and Tim Walz if they are not going to impose a permanent ceasefire and an arms embargo against Israel.
Free Palestine from the River to the Sea!

Thumbs up 👍 to Chicagoans, I wish I could be there in the march. Free free Palestine 🇵🇸
The working class of Arizona stands with you!
Trumpovich is going to jail 😂
Hatem, I'll be cheering you on from Canada. #freepalestine

These days if you eat, breath or sneeze, you are label antisemitic.
The Wash DC March was extremely well organized!
Best to you all!
Love and peace always. ☝️🇵🇸💚
In 2020, the police received the George Floyd Rules vis a vis protestors (many urban terrorists) that were stand downs. Of course, the anti-Israel pro Palestinian, anti war protestors can expect the Marxist Mayor of Chicago, Johnson, will turn into Bull Connors to suppress them.
Unless you are black..... oh you all have had a lot of things to say about the Black community as a late. In case you're wondering that Alliance is now broken between us. We will no longer accept the excuse of "we're just passionate"... Black Americans know what disrespect looks like. I think it's time we stayed away from each other.....for a while. Oh and bye the bye we are not family.
I cannot in all good Conscience support Israel's Immoral behaviour.
Genocide is still a serious crime under the law of the United States of America. Some privileged and powerful Americans obviously need to be reminded of this.

@@Sepia36912it's too late. The world has seen the truth. 76 years of awful bears witness. Sad really it didn't have to be this way. Your leaders are to blame
If I was in Chicago I'd definitely be on the march to show my support. I'm in the UK so it's a little far for me to travel but I'll be there in spirit.
Good luck.
Thanks to all for standing up for Palestinian human right.
Thank you for your great effort for justice, all three of you, and the others who are participating.
Still haven’t given permits? This sounds like a repeat of the Mayor Daly convention. Chicago will have no one to blame but themselves.
Sending wishes of success and good health to all participating in this important march. You are doing God's work.
I am holding you all close. Thank you from New Mexico.
Great effort and all the best for next week's march!
Wish i could be there ✌️
🇺🇸 Many thanks to Electronic Intifada for supporting the importance of protecting freedom of expression under the Constitution of the United States of America. 🇺🇸
I hope this starts a movement that will force change for all of us
Me too.
But don't count on it.
Wish you all a great success from Blue Mountains NSW Australia
Hatem is an excellent guest. A helluva organizer I'd wager as well.
Free free Palestine from Israel occupation 🇵🇸♥️🙏
Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee parking 🇵🇸
Then go and free if you will find falastyn, I don't know such country
The real enemy is the ones who seek to destroy us ❤
Please be aware that agitators will try to throw shade on peaceful protests. Keep calm and do your best to communicate your message. Take care. I wish you success.
Have truth and a dictionary for the poorly educated.. ZIONISM is ANTI-SEMITIC
Semite, name given in the 19th century to a member of any people who speak one of the Semitic languages, a family of languages spoken primarily in parts of western Asia and Africa. The term therefore came to include Arabs, Akkadians, Canaanites, Hebrews, some Ethiopians (including the Amhara and the Tigrayans), and Aramaean tribes. Although Mesopotamia, the western coast of the Mediterranean, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Horn of Africa have all been proposed as possible sites for the prehistoric origins of Semitic-speaking populations, there remains no archaeological or scientific evidence of a common Semitic people.
Support for march. Freedom for Palestinian wherever they are!
Who nominated Harris? Not the people of the country!
Bravo!
Our full support to Hatem. Great work.

So much respect for all your continued protest steam while Palestinians struggle to survive!
Thank you.

People, of any conscience, must vote for Dr. Jill Stein!!!
those who aren't zionist redblue brainwashed..
the russian stooge
Long live Palestine who will be free.
Something which doesn't exist can't be "free"
Colonial Outcasts recently did a phenomenal episode on the upcoming marches in Chicago, particularly focused on veterans and ex-military who are starting to turn to the left. very important conversation re: forming coalitions that go beyond one dimensional american political discourse of liberal vs conservative. creating a BROAD coalition is the only way to wield effective people power and subsume electoralism under a working class revolution.
I loved their “Genocide Barbie” episode.
Thanks for the reference. Will look at it. ❤
From Canada, best of luck and success ! Free Palestine !
Go ahead guys we are with all of you
😢😢Stop calling them extremists settlers and call them what they are, and that's terrrrorist. whenever Palestinians defend themselves they report it as a terrrrorist attack
Exactly
Did anyone see Lebanon under ground tunnels with guided missle all set up impressive .
Yes. Thought the authenticity wasn't checked yet....
@@eamar0509 right. They probably dug some fake tunnels to make a staged video right 😂😂
@@m420-nd1if Don't be ridiculous, we all know something about AI and editing of visual materials.
As a Palestinian involved in the conflict I also know something about propaganda and in order not to live in illusions we develop a critical sense. I'm glad this is a joke for you in the west.
@@eamar0509 AI isn't there yet, mate, unless you got some groundbreaking AI tech in Palestine we haven't heard about
@@m420-nd1if Actually, the Hezbollah’s underground silos in the video look like child’s play compared to Iran’s numerous underground missile complexes. There’s nothing unbelievable about Hezbollah’s video. What makes you think they can’t build tunnels? The “beauty” of racism and nationalism is that the feeling of superiority causes an underestimation of the intelligence, humanity, and capabilities of the people viewed as inferior. This sort of ignorance keeps biting the racist and colonial powers in the behind. It’s nice!
❤❤❤ thank you all
The United States NOT ONLY gives all the "ZIODOODLE'S" CRIME IMPUNITY, BUT JOINS IN! ... I don’t know what to say or do. We failed as human beings in allowing this idea of Zionism.
How can anyone say this is not a genocide. This is so wrong and these beautiful amazing Palestinian people deserve safety and peace. The world is praying for Palestine ❤🇵🇸

Sounds like 1968.
We can only hope.
It is worse. Mayor Brandon has two sides and one big ego. The Zionist will promise cash. The networks are AIPAC dominated. Thankfully, there are many Independent Journalists will be covering this.
Condemning Israeli war crimes is not antisemitic.
lesser of 2 evils is doing a heavy lifting

Thanks. International Law for all (Justice and Mercy). In God we trust. The Resistance has a right to defend itself. Stop the genocide. Permanent ceasefire, Total withdrawal, End of the Siege, End of the Occupation.
Thank you for covering this. Thank you to all the protesters who will be in Chicago next week. This is important work that you are doing.
Love you guys, God Bless you! FREE FREE PALESTINE AND THE WORLD FROM ZIONISM! ❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸☮️☮️☮️
Free Palestine
Thanks for your report on the struggle of the Palestinians to free their homeland.
“Evil works 24 hours a day”
Anti Zionism is not Anti Semetic althouth some are trying to conflate the two. Be aware there are some who are attending peaceful rallies with the sole intent to insight violence and are wolves in sheeps clothing. Video recording them can be used as evidence to record their actions and determine who they are and hold them accountable.
“When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.”

I will be there in Chicago ❤

I hope the marching will be free of any violence.
are you the Ali Abunimah mentioned by Lowkey in the song Obamanation?
I'm not aware of another
I live outside Chicago and have been to a number of protests downtown. If violence comes to these marches it will be at the hands of the CPD. They are always a heavy presence at the protests I have been to, with a bunch on bicycle. I recently injured a knee so my thought of hoping on the train and going down there is not happening. I saw a news blurb where businesses are boarding up their businesses near the United Center. Actually a wildly peaceful protest would be an awesome response.
Romanian people stand with you as well ! Palestine free !
US politicians need to be reminded they are servents of the people and not PACs.

Power to the People!
Godspeed and goodluck.
Great program as always Ali & Nora!
thank you for all you do
PLEASE make sure that NONE of the protesters act like destructive bigots and disgrace the movement. Be dignified. Show integrity.
This isn't Israel.
Good work you people are doing

Vote Jill STEIN
I do not understand how people think anything will change with Harris if she is currently our VP 😂😂
You may be right. meanwhile what are you doing to help ❤
@@donnavorce8856 voting against career politicians
plz boost volume . on iPhone maxed audio ‘n straining to hear ❓
Roberto Clemente dreamed of playing for Chicago
keep going
Hatem Abudayyeh is a real voice with wisdom, I suggest watchers retain his name in a list for future use. These other EI people are by comparison just pure ideologues, a far less valuable sort of leader.
Nora always looks like a mother proud of 'her boys' ...
I'm ready to march, but I need to know how much cash I will need for bail. I remember when a folded.Ben Franklin and drivers license would help.
Secretary of Sleaze😮😮😮 Definitely 😮😮😮
Reports say not as many came as the protesters wanted.
It sounds like people could panic and people could be injured in a stampede with a smaller route
25:17 that's a very polite way of saying they don't want the smoke in Chi-Town baby!
America is a case in point where democracy fails if the dominant political forces conspire to deny the electorate a voice. FPTP systems have non-representation built in.

Expect no changes from her on this issue.

Why do you need police and city permission to exercise your first amendment rights?
ISRAELITES ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE ❤. LET'S ISRAEL GUIDE US INTO THE END OF THE WORLD 🌎🌍
Sometimes the cops actually help. Sometimes.
@@donnavorce8856 the question was rhetorical. Asking to protest is the antithesis of the first amendment. What does paying a government body to not attack you while you exercise your rights and demonstrate under their watch, by their rules, and only in the areas they want you in sound like?
DNC 👎 🤮 🙄
Free Palestine 🇵🇸 💜
Thank you! Sounds like the city is trying to make it as difficult as possible. It's like a punishment for organazing demonstration. Seems certain lady is married to Orthodox Jew. No wonder!
Hatem Abudyiah should run for president! He and Jill Stein should run for president on the same ticket. What a beautiful dream!
