Kamala Harris Refuses to Condition U.S. Military Support for Israel
www.democracynow.org
We turn to Kamala Harris’s position on Israel’s war on Gaza, which many are calling a genocide. After she was asked about calls to condition U.S. arms shipments to Israel by CNN reporter Dana Bash, Harris refused to consider halting the flow of weapons and instead affirmed her support of Israel. This position violates both federal and international law, argues Palestinian American political analyst Yousef Munayyer, and, coupled with her campaign’s denial of a requested Palestinian American speaking spot from “uncommitted” voters at the DNC, he warns that “Harris could be worse than Biden” when it comes to U.S. support for Israel.

    If this bothers you then vote for some candidate and party other than Harris and the dems.

    I like PSL.

      Why can’t we just vote for the biggest leftist party with the most ballot access? Ya know, the green party

        I will generally not recommend people vote for or support the greens because they represent a directionless triangulation with no vision.

        I’ve had the opportunity to vote green in every national election they’ve been in and even chosen them a few times and they’ve always let me down.

    And there it is, colors shown true.

    The US is an oligarchy in everything but name. The average voter doesn’t want this policy, but that’s not what matters for Harris. That’s not what matters in an oligarchy.

    What matters is the few with means, not most.

      The numbers I have seen state that about 60% of Americans support Israel, with 25% unsure which side they support in the conflict.

        60 percent support it’s existence. Support for them blowing up Gaza is far lower. Conflating the two is a common Israeli propaganda theme. Even to declaring that Hamas would genocide them if they didn’t do this.
