No, they're booing unconditional Democratic support for Israel, which has to change.

Hey, I don't unconditionally support everything Israel does. Their stance on settlers for example, is wrongheaded and stupid.

At the same time, I don't understand why people can't accept Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Proclaiming support for an undivided Jerusalem? Probably a bridge too far. But we should definitely accept whatever capital a country designates for itself.

I'm not sure which or what they're booing. The first roll call vote seems pretty split. And the noes get louder after ever succeeding vote.

I wouldn't go as far to accuse "Democrats of booing God", but it is undeniable that we do have a party very conflicted on their attitudes to religion and very conflicted on their Israel policy. And the autocratic manner in which the Democrats dealt with the vote inflamed many of the delegates.

Though I do suspect there's been a recent leftward drift of the party on these issues, a drift that may very well worryingly continue.

This thread is terrible and I'm glad I stopped reading it.
