Israeli warplanes bombed Gaza overnight, bringing an end to the Israel-Hamas ceasefire after two months.

    Both are bad. Between two bad options, the one that provides a 7 week ceasefire is better than the one that provides no ceasefire.

      How are you so sure Harris wouldn’t do anything? I’m very curious where this all comes from. It’s funny because rep is like “stop wasting our tax money over seas” but when a president says “I won’t be a part of it” then reps say “oohhhhh they support genocide oohhhhhh”

      Like dude. It’s a WAR overseas. Russia trampled Ukraine, shot and raped civilians. But what do reps say? “Stop funding a war overseas”.

      Like hypocritical, just stfu. Eat your words or go away.

        Harris’ rhetoric of a two-state solution and ceasefire were no different than than Biden’s rhetoric, both were not genuine. Both are on record for opposing the weapons embargo, which was THE way to force Israel is agree to the ceasefire. It was always empty rhetoric, meanwhile the administration continued to fund the genocide with billions of our tax payer dollars.

        The rhetoric coming out of the White House, when it has been focused on peace or restraint, rather than continuous war, has been undercut at every turn by its actions. The constant supply of weapons — $17.9 billion of bullets, bombs, shells, and other military aid in the past year — has allowed Israel to keep waging its war on Gaza, and in recent weeks, expand that war to Lebanon and threaten to escalate its conflict with Iran. Despite documentation of U.S. weapons being used in probable war crimes, and credible allegations that Israel is committing genocide in its war on Gaza, the bombs have continued to flow.

        Did Harris provide any small indication she would push for a ceasefire in Gaza? Did she regret anything the Biden administration do? No…

        If you can’t have a civil discussion with someone who has a different opinion than you, it says a lot about your (lack of) character.

          Okay then when did say anything about Gaza? Because I don’t recall anything at all. When did she say “yes, let this war continue I don’t care”

            When she said she would not have done anything differently than Biden. That means refusing to apply any meaningful amount of pressure on Israel, even if it’s just for a temporary ceasefire deal.
