Can Harris win back Biden's Israel-Gaza critics?
What are Kamala Harris's views on Israel, and will pro-Palestinian "uncommitted" voters prefer her over Joe Biden?
All she has to do is tell Benny to fuck off and not give him weapons. Thats it. Nobody is asking for a miracle, everyone is demanding to stop enabling and abetting.
They are required by law passed in 2008 to ensure Israel has a "Qualitative Military Advantage" over the area. They can't just stop giving weapons completely as it is literally illegal.
They would have to show that Israel has more than enough to defend themselves from all likely attackers before they could prevent it, and if they do guess what: they don't need weapons to keep on keepin on.
The fact that Israel is wasting ordinance blowing up civilians and brazenly striking into other countries like Iran makes me think they are rather confident in their military capabilities and so we should let them manage with the resources they have.
Could one argue that since Israel pretty clearly possesses nuclear weapons even if they wont directly admit to it, that they should be able to deter attacks that actually stand a chance at threatening the existence of the country due to the threat of those weapons, and therefore already have the required advantage without additional US assistance?
They are also required by the Leahy law to cut off all military aid to any human rights abusers. The State Department confirmed there were war crimes that took place (a number posted as videos by soldiers), but the Secretary of State overrode his own department to illegally give the aid anyway.
All Harris has to do is say she will obey the laws no matter what her feelings may be on the topic. She’s a prosecutor and knows this.
I feel like cutting them off and pointing out that a qualitative military advantage doesn't give a nation some magical free pass for genocide isn't particularly complex. Beyond that, since when does the US government let legalities stop them from doing what they want?
Is that a self imposed law? Who would even litigate it? Israel can go fuck themselves.
There is a law that makes everything illegal and another law that makes everything legal. It's purely up to the authoritarian regime masters, aka district attorneys and congress, to decide to do anything or not.
Yes, she can, or already has won them back. "Uncommitted" was primarily about sending a message, and it was effective at doing that. I would be surprised if the majority of them planned on not voting for Biden, and now Harris, in the general.
They're still saying they might vote uncommitted. They want Kamala to stop sending arms to Israel but so far she has refused.

Nobody can, so nobody should care.
Biden≠Harris, never has been.
If they want to project guilt onto people without considering the equal yet opposite outcome their opinions are moot.
Not being able to accept that two things can be wrong at once and disregarding the potential possibilities seem to be VERY popular this election year LOL.
You get she's still the Vice President of the Biden Administration right?
The Uncommitted Movement, anti-genocide protestors, want a change in the Administration from the unconditional military support supplying a genocide, to a conditional support that forces Israel to abide by International Laws and not commit genocide.
Harris has the opportunity to pivot on Gaza and make it a partisan issue. That's a major way to win some critical swing states. It's good policy and good politics.
You get she's still the Vice President of the Biden Administration right?
Yes, your point?
Remember how genocide Joe made Gaza happen?
Harris has to win the POTUS election before she can pivot a fucking ham sandwich, you idiot.
You don't have to reply btw, I've already tagged you as a mentally addled contrarian 🫡
Given the fact that I saw "Sry don’t give a fuck about Gaza while our own democracy is at risk. Fighting progress for perfection is how you end up dead." was a highly upvoted comment on a Gaza post, it's safe to assume that the 90% "current thing" leftists have do not care anymore
