    This is a convoluted uncharitable interpretation. She specifically condemns support of pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric. It’s disingenuous to read that as blanket condemnation of all pro-Palestinian protesters.

      No where in her statement does she clarify that any of the people protesting Netanyahu were in the right. She didn’t go that extra step to show any solidarity with any of the protesters, and maybe that’s because she’s a coward and didn’t want to appear pro-Hamas. Yet, Trump wouldn’t do that to his base. He’d condemn violence in general and then say there were very fine people on both sides, and by doing so he became even more popular. Harris missed an opportunity to make her position more clear.

      In fact, she has been frustratingly vague about this entire situation! A ceasefire, but how long? Hostage release, but does that include the Palestinian hostages held by Israel? What about the ICC and ICJ decisions? What about UNRWA? Crickets…

      She needs to make her position clear, and I think her VP pick will clarify it for a lot of people.

        She specified her criticism was against pro-Hamas, and you’re saying because she didn’t make an additional redundant statement to clarify what that means that she’s implying something other than her literal words? And her call for ceasefire isn’t specific enough, despite the fact that she doesn’t have the authority to draft specific details anyway?

        Your reading comprehension isn’t justification for extrapolating these wild hypotheticals.

          Her statement reads as a condemnation of all protesters as pro-Hamas. It paints with a broad brush.

            We already established that this is straight up false. Ask your handler for better material.

              We didn’t establish shit, her statement doesn’t separate the protesters into two groups.

              Whatever. She didn’t pick Shapiro which says, to me, that she’s not willing to totally piss off the uncommitted movement. That’s definitely positive.
