Democratic Party Platform Committee Rejects "Occupation" Language
(Jewish Insider) Jacob Kornbluh - Supporters of Hillary Clinton on the Democratic Party platform committee on Saturday rejected several proposals that would have undermined the party's longstanding support for Israel. At a meeting of the platform drafting committee in Orlando, supporters of Bernie Sanders proposed an amendment that would add "an end to occupation and illegal settlements" to the original language. The proposal was voted down 95-73. Another amendment to remove the military option from the Iran non-compliance language failed 67-98.
