The DNC was set to consider two anti-Israel resolutions: one leftist and one liberal. The first, Resolution 18, was basically the Hamas resolution, calling for an arms embargo on Israel. The second, Resolution 3, initially backed by DNC Chair Ken Martin, called for the release of the hostages and did not propose an arms embargo.

Apart from that, Resolution 3 and Resolution 18 were fairly similar. Both call for an Islamic terrorist state inside Israel and an end to the war. Resolution 3 opposed any “unilateral moves” by both sides. It was fairly similar to the general language of the Democrats. And that already says it all. Pro-Israel people in the party backed Resolution 3.

When Resolution 18 was rejected, the Left took it with its usual grace and dignity, by launching a full freakout, screaming that Jewish money had corrupted the party and that the DNC no longer represented Democrats whom they defined entirely as Bernie Sanderites and the members of the DSA.

DNC Chair Ken Martin then withdrew Resolution 3, even though it had been approved by a panel, in favor of a ‘committee’ that will find a compromise between Resolution 18 and Resolution 3, between the blatantly anti-Israel position and the ‘moderate’ anti-Israel position which will no doubt circle around and land on some sort of call to move arms purchases to Israel through a ‘human rights process’ and so the Left will have once again successfully terrorized the party into adopting its position. Not that it’s especially hard work since the party doesn’t believe in anything.

The DNC did reject the arms embargo resolution, but it also refused to move forward with a resolution calling for the release of the hostages. The final compromise resolution will probably include that as a sop to the remaining pro-Israel people along a call for an arms embargo and an Islamic terrorist state inside Israel.
