Ignorance about Israel and moral confusion about terrorism were on full display at the North Carolina Democratic SEC meeting 6/28/25. A resolution regarding an arms embargo against Israel was so outrageous that even the NC Dems pulled it. It included lies and blood libel against Israel/Jews, falsely accusing the Jewish state of apartheid, genocide and more.
A resolution regarding release of hostages claimed that there are “Palestinian hostages taken by Israel”–false. Israel is holding terrorists in prison, not hostages. It also claims that Israel is guilty of terrorism just as Hamas is, but only Hamas is recognized as a terrorist organization by the US and the EU, for good reason.
A resolution regarding “Palestinian” civilians claims that there is an “illegal occupation of Palestine” by Israel, even though a place called “Palestine” does not exist, and there is no illegal occupation. It decries the destruction of homes in Gaza, however none of this would happen if Hamas were to surrender and release the hostages. Israeli homes have been destroyed as well, and thousands of Israelis have been displaced, but that is omitted.
There are resolutions regarding democracy among “Palestinians.” We recall that Hamas was democratically elected by Gazans in 2006.
These are only a few of the egregious claims and lies found in these resolutions.
Action: Please contact Governor Josh Stein, the leader of the NC Democratic party, to condemn these anti-Israel/antisemitic resolutions. Demand that he call on the party to rescind the resolutions as well.
You can use this portal to reach the Governor. Thank you!
