> The third night of the DNC confirmed just how dramatically the
party has swung on immigration — to the right.
> ...
> On the third night of the Democratic National Convention four
years ago, immigration was front and center. Americans heard a
series of personal stories about how Trump-era policies had
scrambled immigrants’ and their families’ lives.
> ...
> Four years later, the DNC sounds a lot different, reflecting
how public opinion toward immigration in general has soured as
concerns over how secure the border is have risen. Gone are the
heartfelt testimonies from undocumented immigrants, the
repudiation of Trump-era policies, and the calls for better
treatment of migrants and expansion of asylum protections.
Instead, Wednesday evening’s speakers embraced tougher policies
for asylum seekers, praised President Joe Biden’s attempts to
negotiate a bipartisan border security bill, and conceded the
changed reality of immigration politics since the pandemic’s
dawn.
> ...
> Migrant hardships don’t seem to be much of a concern this year
> ...
> In past party conventions, Democrats made significant attempts
to highlight the plight of young immigrants and immigrant
families — be they families split apart because of immigration
policy, young DREAMers struggling and succeeding in America
despite not having documentation, or activists working toward
immigration reform.
>
> In 2012, for example, Benita Veliz, a DREAMer from San
Antonio, Texas, became the first undocumented person to address
a national party’s political convention — telling millions of
viewers how she graduated as a top student and earned a double
major in college before nearly being deported over a traffic
violation. A DREAMer, she praised the Obama plan to roll out
deportation protections in the Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals (DACA) program.
>
> Four years later, another DREAMer would join first lady
Michelle Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders as keynote speakers
during Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s convention. Astrid
Silva would tell her story of coming to the US as a 4-year-old
with her mother, climbing into a raft to cross the Rio Grande,
with just “a little doll.”
>
> And 2020 was all about contrasts with Trump, and the human
suffering he had caused during his presidency.
> ...
> But there was hardly any wholehearted embrace of immigration
in general this week, rarely a welcoming of economic migrants
seeking “a better life,” as in past conventions.
> ...
> the direction the party is heading was evident throughout the
night: Gone are the Obama- and Clinton-era days of casting the
Democratic Party as the unequivocal pro-immigrant party. The
differences in the convention platforms make that clear as well.
The 2024 party platform supports quicker deportations of
economic migrants and stricter asylum rules — including the
ability to stop processing those asylum claims.
> ...
> 2024’s Democrats sound very different from 2020 — when none of
these kinds of stricter proposals appeared in the party’s
platform.

Even if we defeat Trump in the upcoming election, we will not
have defeated Trumpism until we return to the pre-Trump attitude
towards immigration.
The Clinton-era attitude was covered here:

When the right make agains, False Leftists move rightwards. When
the left makes gains, rightists move further rightwards. Thus
Germany keeps moving rightwards either way.
Will leftsts ever learn to move further leftwards in response to
rightist gains?

Scholz confirms Germany will send more arms to Israel 'soon'

--- Quote ---
> German Chancellor Olaf Scholz clashed with opposition leader
Friedrich Merz over weapons deliveries to Israel. Scholz and
Merz, chairman of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), were
participating in a parliamentary debate about the war in Gaza
and Germany's weapons shipments to Israel. Scholz dismissed
Merz's claim that the government was refusing to allow shipments
of ammunition to Israel, citing the significant drop in weapons
exports to Israel in 2024. Scholz responded to the opposition’s
accusations, insisting that Germany stands by its ally Israel.
>
> Germany has long been Israel’s second-biggest foreign supplier
of weapons. Data compiled by the Stockholm International Peace
Research Institute shows that Germany delivered 30% of Israel’s
major weapons imports. Between 2019 and 2023, Germany was second
only to the US in these deliveries, with third-placed Italy
providing less than 1%.

Bill Clinton criticised for saying Israel ‘forced’ to kill Gaza

HTML https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/31/bill-clinton-criticised-for-saying-israel-forced-to-kill-gaza-civilians
Arab and Muslim leaders call former US president’s comments
‘insulting’ and ‘counterproductive’.
--- Quote ---
> Former United States President Bill Clinton is facing backlash
from US Muslim and Arab Americans after saying Israel has been
“forced” to kill civilians in Gaza and suggesting the country
was in the Holy Land “first” – before the Palestinians.
>
> Speaking at a rally for Democratic presidential candidate
Kamala Harris in Michigan, a crucial swing US state with large
Arab and Muslim populations who the Democrats are trying to win
over, Clinton said he understood people’s concerns about the
bloodshed in Gaza, but said Israel had no choice but to inflict
large civilian losses, even as it is accused of genocide in the
International Court of Justice.
>
> “Hamas makes sure that they’re shielded. They’ll force you to
kill civilians if you want to defend yourself,” Clinton said.
>
> “I’m going to do everything I can to convince people they
cannot murder their way out of this, either side,” he later
added.

Of course not! Why would Trump voters vote for an imitation of
Trump when they can vote for the actual Trump? I explained this
