Harris Would Continue Genocide in Gaza

Hooo boy, some "independent journalism" you got there.

A genocide monster has bowed out and endorsed another genocide monster. That’s the whole entire story here.

Agreed

That’s all the commentary and attention this new development deserves.

But I need something to do when I'm procrastinating so I'm probably going to give this more attention than it deserves 😆

Um. Why does this article say nothing about the fact that she was one of the first politicians to call for a Ceasefire in Gaza? Asking Israel to give aid to the people of Gaza is significant.

Otherwise, this article seems to also just repeat itself saying a whole bunch of nothing. Look, I'm from Oakland, Kamala isn't ideal in so many ways. But let's not start calling people genocidal maniacs and ignoring the actions people have made, and judge them for those accordingly.

In the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, Harris was initially a strong supporter of Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas -- knocking down a suggestion that the Biden administration might condition aid to the country in November, saying "we are not going to create any conditions on the support that we are giving Israel to defend itself."

But by December, Harris began wading deeper into Middle Eastern diplomacy during a trip to Dubai for a United Nations climate conference where she also met with leaders from the region; she took a more forceful tone with Israel than many other senior administration officials had done at the time -- declaring "too many innocent Palestinians have been killed" and saying the administration believes "Israel must do more to protect innocent civilians."

But yeah I guess we can easily assume she'll just fully continue the war machine because of her LE-sided history despite how heavily against the death penalty she is to the point where she fought for a cop killer against the death penalty. The stepping stone from death penalty to genocide seems relevant here, I would guess that senseless death is something she doesn't agree with.

She may not be ideal in a lot of ways, but Kamala has shown that she has personal convictions and has stuck to them in the past. Will that remain true? Who knows. But I do know that her calling for Israel to give aid to Gaza is LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE of Donald Trump telling Israel to "Finish the problem".

In the future, for articles like this maybe the authors can do a comparison of our candidates to see how they shape up. Because quite frankly, this seems like nothing more than trying to dissuade from a candidate without saying much of anything other than "Biden's Presidency bad, Kamala will continue it".
