Harris, despite being part of the Biden administration, was seen by some as being more sympathetic to the pro-Palestinian cause and made a forceful case for a cease-fire deal after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netantyahu.
“We all came to a consensus that it’s not going to make a difference, that [Harris] represents this administration,” said Hatem Abudayyeh, chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. “We’re going to stay full steam ahead.”
Harris may also face sporadic protests inside the arena where she will make her televised acceptance speech on Thursday. About 30 delegates who represent the “uncommitted” vote in the primary which activists used as a means of protesting Biden’s policies on Israel will attend.
“stop aiding a genocide or we won’t vote for you” is actually a very adult view.
“No I’ll keep defending the genocide even if it means losing” is the evil/childish view.
“Stop aiding a genocide or we’ll allow the party that would speed up said genocide to win” is not an adult view.
Think about it a different way. Many Republicans feel any abortion is murder (so from their perspective, weare killing thousands of babies every month.) If they started protesting trump saying he’d better ban abortion or they’ll allow Harris to win (despite the fact that she seems determined to protect the right to abortion) would that be an adult rational decision? Or would it be the same childish petulance?
