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

Nobody cares about the platform.  Why did they end up making such a fuss.

We're idiots. Of course we should've just let the issue go and people would've forgotten about it by tomorrow morning.

I will never understand the rabid support of Israel by both parties. Obama himself should be sympathetic to the Palestinians, Israel treats them like we treated blacks not too long ago.

They did not boo God and Jerusalem, they booed inserting language regarding God and affirming Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in the platform.  This thread title is misleading.

The real outrage is the fact that the DNC violated its own rules when the delegates didn't vote the way they wanted them to.

We're at least bright enough to say, "That isn't the candidate's position."

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.

Maybe you can start to realize that a lot of people don't believe in the legitimacy of Israel and naming Jerusalem as its capital gives it legitimacy. If Jews have a problem with this, they can move directly to their "homeland".

I found that completely rigged vote funny. And people were charging the Republican conventionw as rigged? They pretty clearly didn't have two-thirds and just ignored it.

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.
