Harris vows at Michigan rally to ‘do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza’
VP tries to appeal to state’s Arab and Muslim Americans as polling suggests they are gravitating towards Jill Stein
And I am a prince from Nigeria who will give you money if you send me your information
I'm sure Netanyahu also wants it to end right after he gets his sadistic goals.
As of mid 2024 the lowest estimate I found was >7000 Palestinian children dead, as compared to a highest estimate of <100 Israeli children dead. Any child dead is too many but it shows that this is not a war, it's a slaughter.
I voted for Harris because any alternative is asinine, but we should expect that the arms shipments to Israel will continue unless we pressure our politicians.
We're not in a vacuum. Two things can be true. She can honestly be pro Israel but also hope the turds that are the Likud Party lose power, work to end the genocide, and find a two-state solution - that is, if Hamas and Bibi will allow it, which they won't.
This binary all-or-nothing, zero sum bs is just toxic and ignorant.
I've already voted for her, but I don't believe her.
This is a vague plea for peace without any indication of what things she believes (and more importantly, publicly acknowledges) would be "in her power". Is the limit of her power sternly worded letters, arms embargoes, or intervention? Because I'm pretty sue she's not opening the door for US peacekeeping troops in Gaza, though that would be in her power (at least for a short term).
But like, with Harris we get to see if she's willing to do anything meaningful, and maybe as public sentiment continues to turn against Israel she'll be embarrassed enough to do something. It's not a hopeful position to shoot for, but it is technically better than the alternative, and there other issues at play where the difference is not so limited.
You're still not saying the magic words harris. Repeat after me: 'i will enforce american laws regarding war crimes until israel obeys international laws regarding war crimes and genocide'. You've waited too long and i doubt you'll do it before you need to tomorrow.
Its easy to see how she's more focused on the israel hostages than Palestinian population, a group who as our own diplomatic core has informed the admin shes a part of, will be returned in a ceasefire agreement. Hamas already agreed to return them, at least before israel starting offing those leaders first. Only israel is the issue.
Step 1: FOLLOW US LAW AND STOP GIVING THEM WEAPONS
Let's see if she ever gets this far. I am not holding my breath
Like her ads I'm sure she has a more pro Israel slant in other cities.
Oh thank fuck
I'm glad all of the users I've tagged in the past month decided to congregate in this thread to show everyone how full of shit they've been this entire time.
Well done.
Yeah im sure you'll condemn netanyahu as a dictator with an illegitimate claim to power. Im SURE you'll stop selling billions of dollars in weaponry to them. Seriously though, vote Harris
Finally some positive words now for acting on it, if she gets a chance.
In a presidential democracy she has all the power if she wants it.
Look who comes crawling back after banishing Palestinians at the DNC.
This is the power of not voting for these politicians. They will only listen when they have to earn your vote.
And she only starts pandering after Trump lets Arabs on stage. Funny how that works.
In any case she is VP right now. Trump can lie about anything he wants. He is not in power. Kamala can not.
"Sorry, best I can do are harsh words of condemnation."
"Harris slams proponents of war in Gaza"
Still better than Trump by a huge margin.
Good that needs to happen.
Which isn't much, congress controls the money and military aid given. Outside of joining the war and placing our military where IDF is and seeing if that will end war crimes, there's not a lot on the table and Bibi isn't going to take a single threat seriously, he knows the US is chained to Isreal with millions and millions of dollars in lobbying.
I think it's fair to say we all want the death and suffering to end. I'm curious, however, about the overarching goals of those advocating for Stein and such. Some people have suggested that Russia and China stand to benefit the most from America cutting off support to Israel. Russia has certainly vied for influence in the region and generally picks up whatever America leaves behind for pennies on the Ruble.
To summarize my question: if the US cut off support to Israel with the intent of ending genocide, wouldn't Israel simply partner with Russia or China instead?
I don't see how this helps Gaza, but it seems like to make the situation worse.
