Your Call: Doctors and anti-war activists call for Gaza ceasefire during the DNC

On this edition of Your Call, we’re discussing the ongoing death and destruction caused by the US-backed Israeli assault on Gaza and ongoing calls for a ceasefire.
Last week at the Democratic National Convention, the anti-war uncommitted delegates said they were in talks with high level Democrats about having a Palestinian American speak, but the request was denied. During the primaries, nearly 800,000 voters selected a version of an uncommitted vote to send a message to the Democratic Party. Who is listening and what’s next for the movement?
Doctors who volunteered in Gaza shared devastating stories at a press conference during the convention. They said the Israeli Defense Forces have made it impossible to treat their patients.
