Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

I think Harris would be best served by staying as far away from this issue as possible, otherwise she will be sucked into a conflict that certainly will not be resolved before, and likely not after, the election.
The US should probably stop sending weapons and foreign aid to Israel. They have a strong developed economy and it's time to cut them off, regardless of this conflict.
IMHO, she’s already pretty clearly signaled that she thinks Bibi is a POS that has killed a lot of innocent civilians.
But she knows the GOP wants to run on false claims that the democrats want to support Hamas’ desire to wipe Israel off the map. She wanted to kneecap that argument with a statement about supporting defense.
Her position is that she wants a two state solution, condemns the brutal offense that is killing civilians, but supports defense.
Did you not read her statement yesterday regarding protests in Union Station? She is 100% committed to continuing Bidens approach to Gaza and Zionists.
Here is her press briefing from yesterday. She very clearly said that she supports Israel’s ability to defend itself, but HOW it defends itself matters. Then she proceeded to stay that Bibi was killing and starving civilians.

Killing and starving them with our money and our weapons. But then crying about the humanity behind it all. Sorry I don't believe it.
Has she even said that her administration would fund Bibi’s campaign in Gaza? From what I can tell, she hasn’t. And so far she’s running to the left of Biden’s policy and has been much more outspoken about civilian deaths.
She’s part of Biden’s administration, but that doesn’t mean her administration will be Biden’s administration.
The language in her statement yesterday suggests she may be worse. Condemning flag burning, which is protected speech. Condemning protest, which is protected speech. Equating opposition to Zionism as antisemitism, which is bold face lie and gaslighting. Made the claim that supporters of Palestinian rights were protecting Hamas, also a bold faced lie and gaslighting. Netanyahu told our government to jump and everyone of them asked how high.
Then finished it off with 'hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation.' Which is rich coming from a country that knows nothing BUT hate and violence.
