Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) echoed sentiments that the Democratic National Convention “missed an opportunity” by not having a Palestinian speaker discuss the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.
During the four nights of the DNC, the parents of an Israeli American being held hostage by Hamas spoke, but “uncommitted” delegates were not given a speaking slot to allow anti-Israel activists to speak. Lee, who has been a fierce critic of Israel, agreed with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), who had posted that not including a Palestinian speaker was a “tragic mistake,” when she spoke on CBS News’s Face the Nation on Sunday.
