Georgia state Representative Ruwa Romman, who was among the speakers denied by the Harris campaign, expressed her disappointment in being silenced, emphasizing the importance of Palestinian voices at the Democratic National Convention. She indicated that the exclusion reflects a broader issue of marginalization of Palestinian Americans, especially in discussions surrounding foreign policy. The convention's refusal to allow her to speak contrasted sharply with the urgency of addressing ongoing violence in Gaza.
According to delegates with the Uncommitted National Movement, the decision to bar a Palestinian American from speaking was directed by Kamala Harris's campaign, signaling a lack of willingness to address crucial foreign policy issues related to Israel and Palestine. This decision sparked widespread criticism and led to protests, underscoring tensions within the Democratic party regarding its stance on Israel's actions in Gaza and the call for change in U.S. policies.
