Resolution 18 was defeated, but the vote revealed just how far support for Israel has fallen in the party. The story shows how the Israel lobby is doing all it can to prevent Democratic Party leadership from honoring the overwhelming will of party members. The last time the DNC had a debate at the Resolutions Committee on the issue of Palestine was in 1988. The fact that these members could not bring themselves to oppose Resolution 18 outright shows how much the ground has shifted. State parties must continue filing Gaza resolutions until national leadership can no longer deflect grassroots demands.
