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.
Point me to the correct candidate please. Oh right, you can’t because somehow it’s my fault that the two party system took away literally every option you could possibly have. Maybe i should’ve have voted for the non genocide candidate in my primary. Oh wait my state didn’t have one because i didn’t need to choose a candidate. That’s ok, no one else was running anyway because who the fuck can out raise the incumbents.
Seriously though, you are asking an impossible question and getting angry when you don’t get the answer you want. No one wants to vote for genocide. No one wants this to be the situation.
We can be upset with her decisions and policies and still very easily acknowledge that one of the candidates is clearly worse. Trump has outright said Netanyahu should just finish the job. He wouldn’t just not resist, he’d actively encourage it. It’s like choosing between getting shot with a .22 or a .45 bullet to your leg. Both fucking suck, nobody wants to choose either, but if you’re knowledgeable about all the consequences and paying attention, it’s not a difficult choice.
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.
You’re right.
And how people, who say they’re pay attention to the election, history and candidates, post the comments in these threads saying Harris is pro genocide and trump isn’t blows my mind.
The trolls are either more subtle of stupider.
A lot of countries had the Jews living in ghettos without the same rights of other citizens. This went on for centuries in Europe. Then along came hitler. He took antisemitism to a new level.
One is the status quote (a vote for Harris)
One is encouraging Netanyahu, the hardliners and the settlers. (A vote for trump)
