Washington, D.C.—Acting in his capacity as Executive Director of Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), Alan Minsky today committed to “Organize day and night, night and day—alongside all of our allies—until Donald Trump 100% rescinds his plan to use the U.S. military to complete a genocide by ethnically cleansing the Gaza Strip of Palestinians.”

Minsky said, “We expect all good people of conscience to join with us,” opposing what he called “Donald Trump’s unhinged performance on Tuesday, in his press conference beside the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.”

Minsky described Trump’s statements as, “So outrageous (even given Trump’s absurd standards) that it was hard not to feel it was a surreal lampoon. There he was, the President of the United States, openly calling for our country to perpetrate genocide—in order to build ‘a new Riviera.’ But this is no joke. It’s reality; and it’s as treacherous a moment as can be imagined.”

Minsky added, “We will not hesitate for one moment. The organizing begins now.” He urged all PDA’s supporters and allies to “Share this statement with your family, friends, co-workers, and everyone you know.”

Minsky vowed, “We stand with the Palestinian people and their right to land, self-determination, human and civil rights, and the full protection of international law. We will do everything in our power to block a U.S. invasion of the Gaza Strip, and, together, we will succeed.”

Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) was founded in 2004 to transform the Democratic Party and U.S. politics by working inside and outside of the party. This, by electing empowered progressives and by building the progressive movement in solidarity with with peace, justice, civil rights, environmental, and other reform efforts.
