At first glance, it appears that things are coming together well (for the most part) for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who make up the Democratic ticket for the upcoming election. The lavish Democratic National Convention in Chicago has certainly showcased a diverse and high-profile lineup of speakers to promote the Harris-Walz ticket. Polls have suddenly turned more favorable, &#8220;momentum&#8221; is building, enthusiasm seems to be increasing, and the Harris campaign feels confident enough to skip debates. On the surface, it looks like a good time to be a Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>But is that really the case? Beneath much of this optimism lies a deeply divisive issue that Democrats struggle to address with catchy slogans or celebrity endorsements: Israel. While there is some division among conservatives regarding U.S. aid to Israel during domestic struggles, this pales in comparison to an actively anti-Israel faction within the left that threatens unity.<\/p>\n<p>This tension was starkly highlighted during an awkward interview between late-night host Stephen Colbert and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday night. According to The Hollywood Reporter, their discussion following Night 2 of the DNC was disrupted by anti-Israel protesters. &#8220;The Late Show With Stephen Colbert&#8221; aired live shows throughout DNC week, but live television&#8217;s unpredictability became evident when protesters interrupted.<\/p>\n<p>One protester shouted &#8220;Free Palestine!&#8221; while questioning America&#8217;s support for Israel. Another challenged Pelosi on U.S. arms supplies after she stated that &#8220;war has no place in a civilized society.&#8221; The situation escalated so much that even Colbert had to admit Pelosi&#8217;s responses were \u201cunsatisfying\u201d for some viewers.<\/p>\n<p>Colbert pleaded with protesters not to interrupt Pelosi as chaos ensued during their conversation about a two-state solution; he eventually had no choice but to end their segment prematurely while inviting her back for further discussion later.<\/p>\n<p>The DNC and these anti-Israel protests will continue through Thursday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2328387,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Nancy-Pelosi.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[36092,16091,38809],"class_list":["post-2328386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-anti-israel-protest","tag-colbert","tag-pelosi-interview"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Nancy-Pelosi.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2328386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2328386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2328386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2328387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2328386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2328386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2328386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
