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.
It’s not even a choice imo, there’s one electable candidate and one unelectable and I’m horrified that I’ve got justify it to a whatabout. I was simply saying that i acknowledge this whatabout is genocide. I wish i had better choices in my elections. Constantly bringing up genocide when right now at this very moment there’s not a candidate who is going to win that’s shown any inkling of stopping said genocide is contributing nothing to the conversation. That’s a conversation about genocide that should 100% involve American politics. This needs to be a conversation about American politics that doesn’t involve genocide because at this moment right now it adds zero value.
