By ‘Abandon Biden’ is now ‘Abandon Harris.’
The pro-Palestinian group opposing the Democratic Party announced on Friday that its members were ‘now mobilizing under the banner of ‘Abandon Harris.”
‘While we will keep the registered name of Abandon Biden, our mission is now laser-focused on exposing and opposing Kamala Harris and her complicity in genocide,’ the statement from the group explained. ‘We call on all people of conscience to join us in holding the Democratic Party accountable for the bloodshed in Gaza.’
‘The DNC’s recent actions have only confirmed what we’ve been saying all along: the Democratic Party has no interest in ending the genocide in Gaza,’ the group continued. ‘They are not mere bystanders; they are active participants in this brutal, unforgivable violence.’
Abandon Harris is part of a larger movement on the left opposing the Democratic Party due to its continued support of Israel in the Jewish state’s war against Hamas in Gaza.
Anti-Israel demonstrators expressed their discontent with Harris’ campaign throughout this week’s Democratic National Convention with marches, protests, and demonstrations against speakers.
The Democratic presidential nominee attempted to extend an olive branch to the anti-Israel protesters during her speech at the convention, telling the crowd that President Biden’s administration is ‘working around the clock because now is the time to get a hostage deal and a cease-fire deal done.’
‘And let me be clear – I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself, because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on Oct. 7.’
At the same time, Harris said, ‘what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating,’ referring to the war casualties of innocent Palestinian people.
In July, Harris met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reiterate the administration’s support for Israel, while also expressing her ‘serious concern about the dire humanitarian situation there.’ There was an apparent cease-fire deal also discussed at the time.
