Kamala Harris fired back at protesters of Israel's war in Gaza as they interrupted her speech during a Wednesday night campaign rally in Detroit.

I’m glad she’s finally saying it out loud.

    I’m not sure I like this response. Protests are important and this is a massive injustice being carried out. She can acknowledge them and speak with respect without cowtowing if she’s worried about appearing weak.

      This is not the dunk you think it is. You sound like a petty little tyrant drunk on what is not even any kind of real power. I’m sure you’ll ban me for saying this because clearly you’re that kind of personality, but wow. Someone needs to take you down a peg dude.

      Protesting is one thing but don’t constantly interrupt your only chance for a cease fire while they’re trying to convince uncommitted voters that they’re a better choice than Trump. Michigan is an overly important state with an embarrassing amount of the population on the fence and she needs to campaign on the things that matter to different people - not just one issue. Not to mention she’s still vice president and can’t exactly start shitting on Biden’s decisions

      I am a pro-palestine anti-zionist and as much as I’d like a candidate that agrees and is outspoken, there’s way too much at stake here to demand she constantly addresses it. A cease fire in 6 months is better than a completed genocide

        Israel killed the lead negotiator for the other side and the usa had done f all. There is no chance of a ceasefire because america and israel are not serious about it.

          There are plenty of people oblivious to the fence’s existence, just like any other topic in the news. They are already on their side of the fence and assume everyone else is too.

      That’s not the dunk you think it is, and that’s why I love Lemmy. We can get our news from a plethora of other communities and instances. And what a way to follow your own rule: “Be respectful”.

      Considering how AIPAC just destroyed two members of the squad it’s fair to acknowledge the reality of that statement.

      I hope she does address the situation seriously. I desperately want the Gazan people to receive humanitarian aid and for the genocide to stop. But I’m also a geopolitical realist. There are limits to what can be done without making this or other situations worse.

      So I expect whatever position Harris ultimately takes to both be decried as woefully inadequate and also an unconscionable betrayal of our commitments to our allies. Nothing short of a full-throated commitment to one side or the other will land outside that middle ground.

      Not that protesting isn’t vital. I’m glad they got the chance to shout and get their moment of press over it, and I’m glad it didn’t derail her intended speech. Public awareness it’s important.

      I agree with what you say before editing, what you say after qualifies you as an asshole
