I didn’t know that. I bet few people did. Why isn’t it publicized? Why don’t you share a link instead of making it sound as if it is my fault for not knowing this? Were they excluded just because they are Palestinian?

It's your fault for not doing the due diligence of looking it up before posting something that excuses racism. The fact is, they were excluded specifically because of their ethnicity. They offered lists of names of possible speakers, from lawmakers to professors to doctors, agreed to have any speech pre-vetted, were in talks for weeks, the DNC chose to platform an Israeli family and not a Palestinian intentionally
Jason, you are being naive if you blame the public or little old me for not looking up the speech. Things don’t work that way. If the public is to know something it needs to be presented to them and in a persuasive way. Blaming me for not having researched this on my own is counterproductive. Assuming I’m your enemy is also making a mistake.
No, I'm not assuming you're my enemy, I'm pointing out a flaw in your ability to make decisions and come to conclusions. Reread your first comment. Now think about how if no one had come to correct you, given the clear pro-oppressor biased slant of your tone, you would contribute to the general atmosphere of denial of the prejudice Palestinians are facing here and abroad.
Consider instead you had that thought, you wondered what they intended to speak about, and instead of coming in with an accusatory tone that writes out the assumption that they were there to disrupt, you had come in with the simple, neutral question, "Does anyone know what their speech was going to be about?" Do you think that would have gotten the same reaction? Do you think it would have perpetuated the atmosphere of denying the experiences of the marginalized first and foremost?
