The 2024 Democratic Party ignored the antiwar progressives who were rightfully calling out Israel's ethnic cleansing last year. At least 60 universities and colleges nationwide held vigils and protests. At the 2024 DNC Convention in Chicago, no pro-Palestinian or antiwar Samaritans were allowed to speak.
