Some more history on her support for Israel:
- Supports Israel’s right-wing government and cozies up to AIPAC
- Co-sponsored resolution against Obama in support of illegal settlements, does not support Palestinian rights
- Calls BDS “anti-semitic”.
- Another Anti-Palestine rant at AIPAC, 2.
We have her speech from March
Most discussions this week seem to indicate she won't deviate far from Biden's actions, although she is one of the few politicians who has so critically talked about Israel's genocide. Honestly I don't expect any politician to have the balls to speak too strongly against Israel, but even if she just stands firm on what she's said so far it would already be an improvement from current policy. However it's only been a couple days since the whole race changed, so I'm not sure she's released much of anything yet on what her position as Presidential candidate will be in any subject. Who knows, maybe nothing will change, or maybe we'll only see very slight changes.
My main issue for speaking out here is that OP and several others have been continuously posting articles to show the absolute worst of the Democratic candidates, while completely ignoring all the ways in which Trump has been the same or far worse. If you make a post that one candidate is bad for a list of reasons, without also pointing out that the other candidate is bad for doing exactly the same thing, then you are obviously just trolling for Trump and not trying to "provide unbiased information". What I'm trying to point out in my response above is that at least Harris has spoken against Israel and in favor of ending the genocide, while Trump's only statement on the issue has been that Israel needs to get in there and "finish the job".
Oh yes, I'm very biased. Biased against genocide. I hate anyone who does it, or defends people doing it.
This may blow your mind, but there are people who have actual principles in this world. Like feel strongly enough about genocide to just point at someone planning to perform genocide and say, "wow, that's bad" with no equivocation. You do not want to do that.
What Trump will or won't do doesn't change anything. Kamala has not publicly rescinded her islamophobic statements, recanted her support for an ethnostate, or made any tangible criticism of Israel. Anyone who votes for her is doing so with full knowledge that she will participate in genocide. And you aren't even denying it.
Oh I agree that some people are willing to stand up to their principals. Unfortunately the US is a two-party system, and nobody in either of those parties appear to have a spine against Israel. In any other reality I would be all for shaming Harris for being pretty much the same thing, but in our particular hellscape I have to at least give her credit for saying something that nobody else (of those two parties) running for President has done. It's a very small step, but it's still a step in the right direction. Hopefully we get a chance to allow her to move the line even further.
