In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.

    No. She said her policies didn’t differ from biden’s. biden did nothing to pressure netanyahu to stop the genocide.

    Crab, we’ve been over this before, EVERY MONTH from becoming the candidate to the election Harris was advocating for an immediate cease fire, the release of hostages, and a two-state solution. Over, and over again.

    Polar opposite of Trumps “sweep them out and take over.”

    July: https://www.the-independent.com/tv/news/kamala-harris-says-two-state-solution-is-the-only-path-after-meeting-with-netanyahu-b2586161.html

    August: https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/23/politics/gaza-israel-harris-convention-speech/index.html

    September: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-harris-says-two-state-solution-end-of-israel-hamas-war-is-crucial

    October: https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/harris-dodges-direct-question-on-palestinian-deaths-calls-for-2-state-solution-during-cnn-town-hall/3372480

    Could she PERSONALLY negotiate it as VP? No, the VP has no real power unless the Senate is stuck on a 50/50 vote.

    Could she PERSONALLY negotiate it as a candidate for President? No, US civilians are blocked from engaging in diplomatic action.

    So a) not a function of her job, b) not a function of her candidacy.

    ALL she could do was talk about what she would do if elected 1) Immediate cease fire, 2) Hostage release, 3) Two-State solution. July, August, September, October.

    The “BUH BUH GENOCIDE!!!” crowd completely ignored what she was saying because they didn’t want to hear it, they are so crawled up inside their own assholes they can’t hear anything.

      biden falsely claimed to want an immediate ceasefire, hostage release, and a two state solution.

      He also said he wanted to raise the minimum wage, pass all the stuff in BBB, revisit the public option, and reschedule cannabis. All were lies.

      It became clear that his support for a ceasefire and a two state solution were always lies as well.

      harris was one of the people closest to biden. She had to have witnessed his decline and had a responsibility to say something. She lied instead.

      She also said that her policies were no different from biden’s.

      She could have shown some daylight between herself and biden on the issue, but there wasn’t any. She ran as a continuation of biden because she was.

        Harris is not Biden. Again, read her statements, month after month, after month. July, August, September, October.

        She was far more likely to treat Netanyahu as the dishonest broker that he is. Biden was blinded by the history of Israel, Harris did not have that same handicap.

        HER handicap was not being able to publicly diverge from Biden policy, she should have, but couldn’t afford to alienate the Biden machine.

          She was far more likely to treat Netanyahu as the dishonest broker that he is.

          So she publicly stated that Israel should stop, would fight to stop it more than Biden, and was pro-Palestine.

          Right?

          I don’t believe that.

          HER handicap was not being able to publicly diverge from Biden policy, she should have, but couldn’t afford to alienate the Biden machine.

          We would totally do the right thing, but for this stuff going on behind the scenes.

            “No no trust us, I’m against Israel’s genocide, I’m just not gonna use any influence to stop it, I’m not going to make it part of my campaign, I’m going to tell people protesting the genocide to shut up and that I’m speaking. I am clearly anti-genocide, just let me keep with Biden’s pro-genocide polices.”

            Whether you “believe” it or not is irrelevant. It was her position as stated publicly multiple times. That problem is yours, not hers.

            In the end though, the desire to “save” Gaza will result in the extermination of Gaza because you simply wouldn’t listen. Good jorb!
