'The Iowa Democratic Party was recently made aware of a statement made by the University Democrats at Iowa, which included problematic anti-semitic slogans'
“The Iowa Democratic Party was recently made aware of a statement made by the University Democrats at Iowa, which included problematic anti-semitic slogans”The Iowa Democratic Party is calling on three members of the University Democrats at Iowa to resign following their statement in support of the Palestinians.
The statement — issued by Vice President Kiana Shevling-Major, Secretary Olivia Martin, and Treasurer Matthew Charles — read “We shamelessly and fully support Palestine. The ongoing violence against millions of innocent people is egregious and the perpetuation of it by the United States of America and other western states is even more so.
The vice president said that as a result of social media “backlash” and complaints from state politicians, her organization amended the statement to read “May every Palestinian live long and free.” The Iowa Democratic Party condemned the University Democrats at Iowa’s statement via its social media channels and in a news release.
“The Iowa Democratic Party was recently made aware of a statement made by the University Democrats at Iowa, which included problematic anti-semitic slogans including ‘from the river to the sea Palestine will be free,’” Iowa Democrats chair Rita Hart said in a statement. “Let’s be very clear. That is a call for Jewish genocide and we wholly condemn that offensive language.”
