    Kamala Harris issued a Whitehouse statement condemning Hamas after the body of an American hostage was found last week:

    Hamas is an evil terrorist organization. With these murders, Hamas has even more American blood on its hands. I strongly condemn Hamas’ continued brutality, and so must the entire world.

    As Vice President, I have no higher priority than the safety of American citizens, wherever they are in the world.

    Will this be the trigger for her to use equally strong language to condemn Israel, who has killed 30 times more people in the ongoing genocide than Hamas? Or will she just reiterate as she did in her recent CNN interview that:

    I’m unequivocal and — and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself.

    CNN Reporter: But no change in policy in terms of arms and — and so forth?

    No.

    Does she care about all Americans, or only those whose deaths justify continuing this genocide?

        There’s a BIG spectrum between unequivocal support of Israel and nuking it. Right now she’s on one end of the spectrum. No one is asking her to swing to the other.

      She says what she is told to say

    I wonder if Kamala or anyone in the white house will talk about this? They won’t because they’re owned by CUFI/AIPAC

      I’m not sure she’s owned by them. But pissing them off in an incredibly close election is not wise. Unfortunately their money dump on tight progressive primaries had exactly the effect they wanted. “Talk about Israel during the campaign and we dump tens of millions in strategic states and demographics.”

      So we’re not likely to see her true position on that until November 5th.

        When a group gives millions to a campaign that’s a quid pro quo, the candidate will do what they want when elected. There’s no chance Kamala will change her stance on Nov 5th because the cash will still be flowing
