An in-depth <\/span>analysis of the 2024 presidential campaign commissioned by the Democratic National Committee fails to mention the party\u2019s position on Israel\u2019s genocide in Gaza, prompting harsh criticism from Arab American members of the party.<\/p>\n

The 192-page report, authored by a Democratic strategist and first published by CNN on Thursday morning, goes in-depth on several factors found to be detrimental to Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019s campaign in its ultimate loss to Donald Trump. Despite the contention within the party over then-President Joe Biden\u2019s support for Israel\u2019s genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza, however, the war doesn\u2019t get a single mention.<\/p>\n

Also missing from the document are the words \u201cIsrael,\u201d \u201cPalestine,\u201d \u201cArab American,\u201d and \u201cMuslim.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing about this surprises me,\u201d said Linda Sarsour, an organizer from Brooklyn who was active in organizing a campaign to pressure Harris to take a stance against the war. \u201cIf they don\u2019t change course quickly to center Palestine, foreign policy and recognize the influence of Arab\/Palestinian\/Muslim\/young\/progressive American voters, they will likely have to write another autopsy report post 2028 presidential elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the DNC declined to comment on the omission of anything having to do with Gaza, instead pointing The Intercept to a Substack written by party chair Ken Martin in which he acknowledged what the committee found to be several shortcomings by the report\u2019s author, Democratic strategist Paul Rivera.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, pressure mounted to release the report in full \u2014 a move Martin said he was reluctant to take due to major flaws in the report, which he dubbed \u201cnot ready for primetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not proud of this product; it does not meet my standards, and it won\u2019t meet your standards,\u201d Martin wrote Thursday in a post on the DNC\u2019s Substack. \u201cI don\u2019t endorse what\u2019s in this report, or what\u2019s left out of it. I could not in good faith put the DNC\u2019s stamp of approval on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martin also fails to mention Gaza, Israel, or any other terms related to the genocide in his post.<\/p>\n

In the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, Biden\u2019s support for Israel\u2019s war on Gaza became a key point of contention between the Democratic establishment, on one side, and progressive Democrats, including Arab Americans, on the other. The progressives argued that the failure to take a stance against unflinching support for the genocide was tamping down excitement among the party\u2019s base, especially young voters.<\/p>\n

A group of delegates that dubbed themselves the \u201cUncommitted Movement\u201d fought to get push the party left on Gaza. The activists put forward a slate of suggested speakers at the party convention in Chicago, including Ruwa Romman, a Palestinian-American state representative in Georgia, but none of the speakers were accepted.<\/p>\n

Romman, who is currently running for Georgia\u2019s state Senate, said she was deeply disappointed to see the lack of mention of Gaza in the report.<\/p>\n

While the Gaza war was a key issue for many Arab American and Muslim voters, particularly in a swing state like Michigan, Romman acknowledged that most voters nationwide and in her home state of Georgia were not listing Gaza as their top concern. Still, she said, the issue emerged as something of a smell test for the integrity of Democratic politicians hoping to sell their message to an electorate beset by financial insecurity and healthcare woes.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor most voters, if you look at what was their top issue, it\u2019s the economy \u2014 of course,\u201d Romman said. \u201cBut if you want politicians that are going to put you first and implement the kind of economic issues that you need to have a better life, those are going to be the politicians that are not beholden to special interests. And so Gaza became a way to look for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Democratic Party, meanwhile, has sought to thoroughly distance itself from the report, going so far as to release an annotated version highlighting missing data and unsubstantiated claims.<\/p>\n

The document contains a disclaimer at the top of every page: \u201cThis document reflects the views of the author, not the DNC. The DNC was not provided wi th the underlying sourcing, interviews, or supporting data for many of the assertions contained herein and therefore cannot independently verify the claims presented.\u201d<\/p>\n
