@NoFlexZone @mondoweiss @palestine @israel This was a "very evil" vs. "a much lesser evil" regarding Gaza. Even though Harris was parroting Biden's statements about "Israel having the right to defend itself", she mentioned the deaths and suffering of innocent civilians, which I don't recall Biden saying.
I haven't read it or heard it anywhere, but my gut tells me that she would have been much more forceful in demanding a ceasefire and the administration change would have been the perfect excuse. Even to the point of enabling an arms embargo to force the negotiations.
Netanyahu has disrespected Biden at every turn and something tells me that wouldn't work with Harris.
Maybe it's just wishful thinking. But maybe as a woman and a mother she would have seen the children and fellow women as human beings.
Was she behaving that way to secure her access to the White House? Would it have been political suicide to declare support for the Palestinians and a ceasefire from the get go and that's why she didn't say it explicitly? I don't know, but it's plausible.
