A comprehensive analysis of the 2024 presidential campaign commissioned by the Democratic National Committee has ignited criticism from Arab American members of the party due to its omission of the party’s stance on Israel’s actions in Gaza.
The 192-page report, authored by Democratic strategist Paul Rivera and first published by CNN on Thursday, delves into several factors contributing to Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss to Donald Trump. Notably absent from the analysis is any mention of the war in Gaza, despite ongoing contention within the party regarding then-President Joe Biden’s support for Israel’s military actions.
The report notably does not include key terms such as “Israel,” “Palestine,” “Arab American,” and “Muslim.”
