Co-Chair Of Democratic Socialists Of America Defends Rallying For Hamas
Romer said the DSA would not back Israel with money or weapons and defended a candidate who attended the rally, which drew 129,000 members.
- Megan Romer, a national co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, said last week she would have attended a post-Oct. 7, 2023, anti-Israel rally in New York City, describing the slaughter of more than 1,200 people as "inevitable."
- In a podcast interview with The New Yorker's David Remnick, Romer argued that depriving Palestinians of rights and dignity makes such violence expected, though she stated her position "is not defending any harm of civilians or non-combatants."
- Romer described "no defense or economic support for Israel" as a "solid red line" for the Democratic Socialists of America, noting the group advocates for "a free Palestine with the capital in Jerusalem."
- When questioned about global affairs, Romer advocated for sending "huge teams of diplomats" to Ukraine rather than military aid; she admitted lacking knowledge of the Camp David Accords when asked by Remnick.
- Following electoral successes for DSA-aligned candidates, Romer has embarked on a media tour discussing organizational policies; she told Remnick the group now has 129,000 members after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's election.
