'It's real': Kamala Harris appears to say Israel committing genocide in Gaza

"Listen, what he’s talking about, it’s real. It’s real. That’s not the subject that I came to discuss today, but it’s real, and I respect his voice."

    Meanwhile Bernie says in interviews that Netanyahu is backed by racists. Very accurate take. But Harris can’t exactly say it outright as she may lose the Zionist (zealot) Jew vote (money). After the election all bets are off though. The palestinian backers who think they need to get the promise to embargo Israel before the election are delusional and have no sense of strategy beyond their own. Which is basically play chicken with fascists. Its a losing strategy. They are between a rock and a hard place so it makes sense as there is no other actual strategy to be had. But we’re not going back to Trump I am sorry.

    People either don’t seem to understand, or are pretending not to understand for political purposes, that Harris has a very thin line to toe until the election. If she says anything strongly in either way regarding Israel/Palestine, she will lose.

    Anyone telling you that she is worse than Trump on the issue is a goddamn liar

        Yeah, but then centrists will get the right wing policies they want and get to blame the left for it.

      If centrists don’t like that they don’t get 100% of everything they want, in this case unconditional support for genocide, they can vote blue no matter who.

        I’m not sure you even understood my comment. And yet at least 10 other people read this and were like “yup, that sounds right.”

        Suspect.

          People generally have really poor reading comprehension. I’ve been surprised by how bad it is here on lemmy. I’ve had folks argue against things not even remotely close to what was said, and then other morons will come along to dogpile.

    “To give credence publicly to this disgusting blood libel disqualifies Harris from holding any public office, let alone the presidency”

    Is it? 🤔

    Does that mean people under criminal charges should be disqualified as well, right?

    "Many, including myself, always suspected that she held this warped, antisemitic view of Israel’s self-defense against Hamas barbarism. But the cat is now out of the bag,” he said to the US outlet on Saturday.

    “Her view is as ignorant as it is malign. … To give credence publicly to this disgusting blood libel disqualifies Harris from holding any public office, let alone the presidency,” he added." (He then did a little happy jig and said to himself “we got 'er! Antisemitic married to a Jew, people are too dumb to realize I’m a lying sack of shit!”)

    Heeeeereeee we go with this bullshit…

    Harris lifts up the voice of the anti-Zionists by having them escorted away by security

      I mean tbf even if we agree with his opinion he’s heckling. Getting escorted by security seems like a natural consequence of that.
