@Jfrites @MiriShuli @janisf @spinbackwards @BobLefridge @alpinefolk what Oct 7 did was to harden Israeli opinion - it evoked the Holocaust, it became an existential crisis for Jewry and the surge in global antisemitism has further contributed to "fortress Israel". It will take an Israeli leader with great courage and vision to open up Israeli society again to a durable agreement for Palestine.

@Thumper1964 @katrinakatrinka @tawtovo @PamelaBarroway @Stybba3019 agreed...Netanyahu has to go. A more moderate Israeli leader is essential. Also key Arab nations - Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia esp need to have a major role in the protection and restoration of Gaza.

#kamalaharris has established a lead (beyond margin of error) in the 3 Rust Belt battlegrounds (PA, WI, MI) in multiple polls.
And in the Sun Belt/South West AZ/GA/NV are now toss-ups.

In 3 weeks the Vice President has upended this race - with the Dem Convention in just 9 days.

What's clear, #harriswalz is more than a campaign - its a movement for a more positive future. Its no surprise Gov Walz's daughter name is Hope. #uspol #us @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews

Absurdly, Trump wants to fire ABC journalist, Rachel Scott, for having the audacity to confront him with his racism at NABJ convention last week.
He only wants obsequious sycophants to question/interview him - the slightest challenge to his ego/vanity offends him. That's why debating #kamalaharris on more neutral ground with non-fawning moderators is terrifying for him. @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews #uspol #us

Got to say... #kamalaharris social media and mainstream media over past 5 days has been superb. Her stump speech is tight and she's assured. This is a totally different candidate from 2020.

Already two very strong themes: future/we're not going back + freedom.

The Dem base is 🔥 and she's energising younger voters. And black women are her praetorian guard. #uspol #usa

According to Ted Cruz Republicans don't take Kamala Harris seriously and that they think she's not very smart.

Let them think that.

But it's hideously misogynistic. Trump is barely literate - and it's so absurdly in denial about what's been achieved by Harris & the Democrats in the last 36 hours.

Trump will outwardly assert Harris is an "easy-beat" - but internally the profoundly insecure narcissist will be obsessed and unhinged by the prospect of losing to a Woman. Of. Colour. #us #uspol #kamala #kamalaharris

The global monied rightwing project to wind back progress, maintain inequality & stay in thrall to hyper-capitalism has destroyed the UK, created huge economic & social chasms in the US, and generated massive debt and inequities in Australia that will take a generation + to redress.

Now it’s NZ’s turn.

We wait out the inevitability of this project’s harm and failure

The lesson for any future progressive Gvt: timidity only facilitates and emboldens exactly the kind of gvt we have now. #nzpol
