Democrats use progressives AOC and Bernie Sanders to sell genocide, with Ali Abunimah

This week, the Democratic Party is holding its national convention in Chicago to formally nominate Vice President Kamala Harris as its presidential candidate. We’ll take a look at the Democrats’ newly released platform, and the hardline pro-Israel stances it sets out in defiance of the views of the party’s base. Harris claims she is different from her Republican rival Donald Trump, but the contrast the Democrats are drawing is not what you might expect. This is a segment from The Electronic Intifada's day 320 livestream. Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Jon Elmer and Asa Winstanley were joined by Dr. Mohammad Marandi, professor of English Literature and Orientalism at the University of Tehran, and a well-known analyst of regional affairs.
