In her first interview as the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris told CNN it was imperative to reach a ceasefire deal in Gaza, but made it clear that she would not alter President Joe Biden’s policy in the region.
However, when pressed on whether she would stop sending weapons to Israel she told Bash, “No, we have to get a deal done, Dana. We have to get a deal done.”
“Adopting an arms embargo against Israel’s assault on Gaza is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic move to defeat Trump and MAGA extremism. It is difficult for the Democratic candidate to champion democracy while arming Netanyahu’s authoritarian regime” reads a recent letter to Harris from the coalition Not Another Bomb.
Recent polling has repeatedly demonstrated that Democratic voters overwhelmingly support the conditioning of U.S. military aid. A Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) survey from March found that 52% of Americans want the U.S. to halt weapons shipments to Israel in order to force a ceasefire. 62% of Biden voters said “The US should stop weapons shipments to Israel until Israel discontinues its attacks on the people of Gaza,” while only 14% disagreed with the statement.
The numbers from a June CBS News poll were even higher, with more than 60% of all voters and almost 80% of Democrats saying the U.S. shouldn’t send Israel weapons.
“The real question should have been, ‘When are you going to start enforcing U.S. law as it relates to arms shipments’ because what we are doing right now, with this United States policy, is in violation of not just international law, but also of American law, “said the Arab Center’s Yousef Munayyer in an interview with Democracy Now in response to the CNN segment. “Vice-President Harris made it clear in other parts of her interview that she wants to be a prosecutor. She wants to enforce the law, but Israel is clearly getting an exception from the Harris campaign.”
It is possible you already have them blocked.
Do you see the comment about Harris being a worse candidate than Hillary? No sane adult would say such a thing except as deliberate anti-democratic propaganda.
i mean yeah i did but i don’t see how that relates to harris being more pro-genocide than trump
Because the intent of the sentiment is to get people to not vote for her, which would increase the likelihood of a Trump presidency, which would ultimately result in more genocide.
You’re drawing some pretty premature conclusions from incomplete information.
Then what is their intent? Tell me. Or block me if you’ve got nothing.
if i had to guess, to convey the idea that “i do not like it when presidential candidates support the funding of genocide”
but then again asking me to divine the will of a poster i’ve never met or spoken to is quite a strange thing to do
A person in a contract has to fulfill the terms of that contract, though.
why are you talking about contracts? how are contracts relevant to people in this thread being pro-fascism?
Harris’s hands are tied due to a contract. The people who bemoan the genocide are encouraging fascism by ignoring the contract.
Why don’t you respond directly to the comment that you have a problem with so that there isn’t any confusion?
Why would I engage with a known troll rather than blocking them?
Everyone’s a troll. Its Trollworld baby
My wife calls herself a troll, but is referring to the dolls with crazy hair. That kind is ok.
