Tell Democrats in Congress to Insist That Schumer and Jeffries Step Aside
The Democratic leadership in Congress has failed to provide real leadership against a war-crazed Trump administration. Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries have not acted to prevent war on Venezuela or the current war on Iran. They worked to delay a vote on Iran until after the war had started, while failing to clearly oppose it before or after the launch of the war. Schumer and Jeffries have shown that they cannot be trusted to prevent more wars, more threats of wars, or the transfer of another half a trillion dollars a year into the war machine.
It’s time for congressional Democrats to replace Schumer and Jeffries with leaders who are willing and able to challenge the runaway militarism that has dragged our country into launching yet another insanely destructive war.

Coalition of Antiwar Groups Launches National Campaign Calling for Jeffries and Schumer to Step Aside from Leadership
A coalition of antiwar groups launched a national campaign Wednesday for constituents to urge Democrats in Congress to remove Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Sen. Chuck Schumer from their posts as minority leaders.
The coalition includes RootsAction and Peace Action, the nation’s largest grassroots peace network, as well as World BEYOND War and the Progressive Democrats of America – Greater Middle East Alliance.
“Schumer and Jeffries have failed their party and country through wobbly leadership when firmness and clarity are needed in opposing a reckless and costly war,” said Jeff Cohen, cofounder of RootsAction. “The Democratic base sees a weak and confused party leadership as Trump demands billions more to attack Iran. While the party needs strong leaders in Congress, both Schumer and Jeffries have shown that they’re not up to the job.”
DNC faces pressure to release ‘autopsy’ reportedly blaming Gaza for Kamala Harris’s defeat
(February 23, 2026)
Harris herself, in her memoir 107 Days, wrote that former President Joe Biden’s appearance of having issued a “blank check” to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hurt her campaign. She also wrote that she pleaded with him to show more empathy for Palestinians, to little avail.
DNC Chair Ken Martin reversed course last year when he said in December that the Democrats would not release the autopsy examining the causes of Harris’s defeat.
Suppressed DNC Autopsy Found Biden Admin’s Support for Gaza Genocide Cost Harris Votes
(February 23, 2026)
RootsAction, a progressive advocacy group that conducted its own analysis of Democrats’ 2024 loss, said in a statement that the DNC’s refusal to publicize its findings “undermines the goal of defeating Trumpism.” RootsAction’s autopsy, authored by journalist Christopher D. Cook, found “ample evidence that Harris lost many voters, especially young voters, Arab-Americans, and critical support in Michigan and elsewhere, due to the campaign’s failure to shift or even signal a potential shift in policy on Israel and Palestine.”
The DNC’s official autopsy, said RootsAction, “should be made public so Democrats can learn from past errors and win future elections.”
Democrats Not Publishing 2024 ‘Autopsy’ Sparks Outrage: ‘Unreal’
(December 18, 2025)
DNC Chair Ken Martin opted against releasing the report. In a statement provided to Newsweek, Martin wrote that the party has “completed a comprehensive review of what happened in 2024 and are already putting our learnings into motion.”
“Here’s our North Star: does this help us win? If the answer is no, it’s a distraction from the core mission,” he said.
Democrats want to find out why their voters stayed home in 2024 — and how to get them to show up this year
“We didn’t lose to Donald Trump. We lost to the couch,” DNC Deputy Executive Director Libby Schneider said in an interview. “We saw our voters, many of our important voters, stay home. Obviously, that is a trend that cannot continue.”
(…)
“If we want to keep earning back the trust and support of voters, we have to listen to them,” DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a statement. “The Democratic Party is done with waiting until the last minute to engage voters — these conversations need to happen early and often.”
Israel’s opposition is plotting a return to power. But it remains its own worst enemy
Yet such promises count for little at a time when Israel’s current government continues to bomb, shell, and starve Palestinians in Gaza, all while taking rapid steps toward formally annexing the West Bank. Nor has the opposition — neither its parliamentary representatives, like the Democrats, or the protest movement in the streets — shown the ability to turn growing discontent over the government’s handling of the war and abandonment of the hostages into a full-throated defense of Palestinians’ humanity.
Until they do, it is hard to imagine just how different the next government, whoever comprises it, will be when it comes to the prospect of peace and equality for all the people in this land.
Americans Hate Only One Person More Than Benjamin Netanyahu: Poll
In a Gallup favorability poll on 14 U.S. and global figures released Tuesday, Musk came in with the lowest net favorability rating at -28 points. Benjamin Netanyahu, the far-right prime minister of Israel and champion of the country’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, is slightly less hated at -23 points.
32% in U.S. Back Israel‘s Military Action in Gaza, a New Low
(July 29, 2025)
Fifty-two percent of Americans now view Benjamin Netanyahu unfavorably, his highest unfavorable rating since 1997. His favorable rating stands at 29%, while 19% of U.S. adults have no opinion of him.
Until December 2023, Americans viewed Netanyahu more positively than negatively, except in 1997, when he was less well known. In the December 2023 poll, Netanyahu’s unfavorable rating far outpaced his 33% favorable rating, with the current poll showing a continued deterioration in his image.
Democrats Have Totally Lost Touch With Their Base on Israel: Poll
(July 29, 2025)
A new poll from Gallup, conducted in July, shows that only 32 percent of Americans approve of Israel’s “military action taken in Gaza,” down 10 percentage points since last September. Among Democrats, only 8 percent support Israel’s actions, the lowest approval rating to date. Compare that to 25 percent of independents and a robust 71 percent of Republicans.
Majority of Brits in favor of full arms embargo on Israel: Poll
The poll revealed that respondents supported a full arms embargo on Israel by over four to one, including 72% of those who voted for the Labour Party in the 2024 General Election.
The survey, conducted by Opinium, on behalf of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), showed a clear majority are also in favor of sanctions against Israeli government ministers and for Israel to be expelled from the UN, with only 16% of respondents opposed to Israel’s expulsion.

Hundreds of UK Muslim Organisations Unite to Call on Prime Minister to Recognise Palestinian Statehood
(April 29, 2025)
Commenting on the letter, Secretary General Dr Wajid Akhter said:
“We are at a watershed moment as events in Gaza intensify, with more innocent lives lost each day. British Muslim communities, alongside countless others across the country, are simply calling for a foreign policy rooted in justice, humanity, and international law.
“We have rightly mobilised a coalition of the willing to oppose Russia’s illegal occupation of Ukraine, yet the illegal occupation of Palestine and the mass killing of Palestinian civilians is met with silence. We urge Prime Minister Keir Starmer to show moral leadership and act swiftly.“
Hundreds of Muslim groups demand UK recognition of Palestinian state
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) has deliver a letter signed by over 300 Muslim groups to 10 Downing Street urging Prime Minister Keir Starmer to show “moral leadership” and swiftly recognise the Palestinian State.
The signatories, comprising of organisations from every region of the UK, including mosques, student societies, charities and advocacy groups, are calling on the British government to urgently:
Majority of Democratic Voters: Current Leaders Failing to Combat Trump, Defend Working Class
„Democratic voters are sending a clear message: They want leaders who will fight Trump and put working people first,“ said Danielle Deiseroth, executive director of Data for Progress, the progressive think tank behind the surveys. „The base is tired of weak opposition and business-as-usual politics.“
„This level of discontent is unsustainable for a party looking to build back in the wake of major losses—at a certain point, Democratic leaders will need to show voters that they are taking a stronger stance against Trump, or step aside for someone who will,“ Deiseroth added.
Dr. Stein Comments on the Results of the Presidential Election
(November 6, 2024)
Democrats have no one to blame but themselves for another disastrous Trump win. We need a true opposition party for people, planet and peace.
(…)
The pressure will continue to build for the political transformation that the American people demand. The political elites will continue to tell you that resistance is futile. Ignore them. This is our moment.
„Together, we are unstoppable.”

Fox News Voter Analysis: How Trump regained the White House
(November 6, 2024)
Overall, Trump’s strongest support came from White evangelicals, rural voters, Whites without a college degree, conservatives, and men.
Instead of looking inwards, white liberals are blaming Arab Americans for Trump‘s victory
(November 8, 2024)
Democrats actually benefitted from Trump‘s rise, which presented an opportunity for them to win votes freely by positioning themselves as the only alternative to outright fascism.
Yet, instead of looking inwards for answers on why Harris lost to a candidate as problematic as Trump, these liberal Democrats chose to reprimand minorities. Signalling a sense of superiority, they could not hide their racism, implying that it was incumbent upon these minority communities to vote within the guidelines provided by their liberal saviours.
By this logic, Arabs, Muslims and Latinos must vote for a Democrat no matter what.
Jill Stein tops Kamala Harris in national poll of Muslim voters
According to polling conducted the last two days of October by the Council on American Islamic Relations of “1,449 verified Muslim voters,” Green Party candidate Jill Stein is marginally ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris with America’s 2.5 million voters of the Islamic faith.
“42% now favor Stein for president while 41% favor Harris. This is a statistical tie similar to the 29% support each candidate received in CAIR’s late August survey,” the group is announcing.
BREAKING: CAIR’s Final Election Poll Shows Stein and Harris Still Tied Among Muslim Voters, Trump Trailing
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today announced that the results of its latest and final poll of Muslim voter preferences in the 2024 presidential election show that 42% now favor Green Party nominee Jill Stein for president while 41% favor Vice President Kamala Harris. This is a statistical tie similar to the 29% support each candidate received in CAIR’s late August survey.
Biden cautiously optimistic as wider war in West Asia appears averted
Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump has seized on Biden’s challenges in the Middle East, framing his own administration as one that delivered “peace in the Middle East.”
Speaking in Michigan, Trump told voters, “They want strength in the Oval Office, law and order, and common sense.” Trump’s comments resonated with many Arab American voters, a demographic with significant concerns over the ongoing violence.
Harris Vows to Create Bipartisan Advisory Council as DNC Runs Ad Attacking Jill Stein
In other campaign news, the Democratic National Committee has released an ad attacking Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein, claiming a vote for Stein is a vote for Trump. Democrats are planning to run the ad in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. In August, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, CAIR, published a survey that showed Stein is leading Harris among Muslim voters in Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin. Stein has criticized Harris for refusing to cut off arms sales to Israel.
How Jill Stein‘s Muslim Surge Could Sink Kamala Harris
(September 21, 2024)
Recent polls show Stein ahead of Harris among Muslim voters in several battleground states, including Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin, giving her Green Party a potentially pivotal role in swinging the election away from Harris in favor of former President Donald Trump.
„We‘re grateful for the strong support of Muslim voters who share with us the determination to end genocide in Gaza, and the injustice faced by our Muslim friends,“ Stein told Newsweek in a statement. „We urge all people of conscience to resist the propaganda telling you to hold your nose and vote for genocide.
American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force Calls on Muslim Voters to Turn Out, Support Candidates Who Back Permanent Ceasefire, Arms Embargo, and Other Just Policies
Our message for the American Muslim community
Disagree respectfully: we understand that voting is a personal choice, and our perspectives and personal analysis can lead us all in different directions. Thus, there may not be a definitively right or wrong answer to the question of how American Muslims should vote in 2024. We expect disagreements to occur.
Although healthy debate is valuable, our community members should not disparage each other or assume the worst of each other’s intentions—especially of leaders and groups that have a history of doing good work and acting in good faith.
We must also reject those voices on either side of the 2024 debate who attempt to turn political and strategic disagreement about how to vote into a racial or religious conflict that divides our community.

Muslim-American coalition urges support for pro-Palestine candidates in US presidential election
(September 20, 2024)
A coalition of Muslim-American groups announced Friday that it will not endorse Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the November presidential election.
Instead, the coalition encouraged Muslim voters to support pro-Palestine candidates such as Green Party nominee Jill Stein, Justice for All nominee Cornel West, or others who back a ceasefire in Gaza and an arms embargo on Israel.
US: Muslim groups urge voters to back Jill Stein, Cornel West or other pro-Palestine candidates
(September 20, 2024)
„After extensive consultation, discussion, and deliberation, the American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force has decided to encourage American Muslims to vote for any presidential candidate of their choosing who supports a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and a US arms embargo on the Israeli government, such as candidates Dr Jill Stein, Dr Cornel West or Chase Oliver,“ read the statement, obtained by Middle East Eye.
The statement was written by the American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force, an umbrella group formed this year that consists of a number of prominent Muslim organisations including the political arms of Americans for Justice in Palestine (AJP), Cair, and the US Council of Muslim Organizations.
Grief over Gaza, qualms over US election add up to anguish for many Palestinian Americans
Demoralized by the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war, Palestinian American Samia Assed found in Vice President Kamala Harris’ ascension — and her running mate pick — “a little ray of hope.”
That hope, she said, shattered during last month’s Democratic National Convention, where a request for a Palestinian American speaker was denied and listening to Harris left her feeling like the Democratic presidential nominee will continue the U.S. policies that have outraged many in the anti-war camp.
Tell the Women of the Senate: Arms Embargo NOW!
During the DNC in Chicago, we made our demand for an arms embargo on Israel clear. Time and time again, we heard politicians — including Sen. Tammy Duckworth who told us back in October that she would continue sending weapons to Israel — posing as advocates for women and reproductive rights while arming Israel. They can’t hide from one undeniable fact: Genocide is not feminist.
Send a letter to the women of the Senate below and tell them: We Need an Arms Embargo on Israel NOW!
Frischer Wind im deutschen Parteiensystem: Welche Chancen haben Bündnis Wagenknecht, Freie Wähler, Werteunion und Dava?
Die Unzufriedenheit mit der deutschen Regierung bringt neue Parteien hervor und macht Alternativen zu den etablierten Kräften stärker. Die Parteienlandschaft wandelt sich stark. Ein Überblick.
Biden and Starmer will pay a heavy price for supporting Israel‘s war in Gaza
We can be sure of one thing. History is going to be a much harsher judge of those political leaders who justified and tolerated the ethnic cleansing now going on in Gaza.
Biden and Starmer’s refusal to call for a ceasefire and their refusal to back the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that Israel should take steps to comply with the Genocide Convention, will produce an indelible stain on their careers.
Neither man sees the danger they are in over Gaza. But then neither did Bush or Blair when they invaded Iraq.
Growing number of Senate Democrats question Biden’s Israel strategy
(19.01.2024)
The growing willingness of establishment Democrats to criticize or push back on Israel — a move that would have come with serious political ramifications just a few months ago — signals a shift in the politics of the party since the war in Gaza began more than 100 days ago. Senators from swing states, including Georgia, Wisconsin and Minnesota, have signed on to some of these measures as polls show a notable drop in support for Biden among young, Muslim and Arab American voters over his handling of the issue.
