Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Her advisers say the empathy she has expressed for Palestinians as vice president should not be confused with any willingness to break from U.S. foreign policy toward Israel as a presidential candidate.

But one senior U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to detail Ms. Harris’s thinking, said that if she won the election and the war were still going on, her policy was not expected to change.

So she won’t because an anonymous tip says she won’t. No real information as to why that might be. Also, here are a bunch of grossly misleading talking points from the Trump campaign.

Ace reporting there, NYT. Keep fucking that chicken.

Not expected to change was my assessment too.

Halie Soifer, who is now the chief executive of the Jewish Democratic Council of America and served as Ms. Harris’s national security adviser when she was in the Senate, said the vice president had maintained a pragmatic approach to the conflict that is rooted in her longstanding commitment to Israel’s security.

🙄

While according to John Bolton Trump cannot be trusted to protect Israel, as he only acts in self interest, I would only trust John Boltons opinion on what the inside of a prison cell looks like.

This came before https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-825264

To me this is the biggest part,

in large part because the conflict is too volatile to predict how it might be managed days from now, let alone months from now.

Reading between the lines, I'm hopeful that Harris will enact a major change in policy down the line in this area if she's elected - but also be able to claim that while she never broke from Biden or older policy, that the "volatile" conflict went in an un"predict"able direction requiring the move.
