Harris vows at Michigan rally to ‘do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza’

All the one-issue voters: uhh... what now?

I've already voted for her, but I don't believe her.

This is a vague plea for peace without any indication of what things she believes (and more importantly, publicly acknowledges) would be "in her power". Is the limit of her power sternly worded letters, arms embargoes, or intervention? Because I'm pretty sue she's not opening the door for US peacekeeping troops in Gaza, though that would be in her power (at least for a short term).

But like, with Harris we get to see if she's willing to do anything meaningful, and maybe as public sentiment continues to turn against Israel she'll be embarrassed enough to do something. It's not a hopeful position to shoot for, but it is technically better than the alternative, and there other issues at play where the difference is not so limited.

Bibi hates her, so that’s a good start.

Kind of a day late dollar short scenario

I mean I already voted for Harris because I don't wanna die in a Trump Brand Concentration Camp, but, she really couldn't have said this any fucking sooner?

The genocide in Gaza.

Step 1: FOLLOW US LAW AND STOP GIVING THEM WEAPONS

Let's see if she ever gets this far. I am not holding my breath

3rd party voters: "I'm not voting for Harris until she condemns the Gaza war!"

Harris: *says she condemns the Gaza war*

3rd party voters: *desperate scrambling sounds to find something else to be a single issue contrarian*

I'm really hoping I'm wrong about that, but I'm seeing it on this thread.

Apparently no one in the comments has been paying attention. She's been saying these same lines about Gaza since the convention speech.

Seems a little too little too late for it to move the needle much, especially given how much early voting has happened. Harris’s position on Israel has been so bizarre, pretty sure Israel has even been actively working against Democrats this whole time anyways.

It's completely in her power to stop whitewashing a genocide and creating false equivalences by calling it a "war".

You idiots disagree with Harris, fairly, but think your non-vote is going to help your cause. What do you think Trump is going to do for Gaza dipshits? Go vote and litigate later.

Good that needs to happen.

Trump would do the same thing but in his case it means letting Bibi level Gaza and then buying some land to build a tacky resort on it.

Bruhhhhhhh why the fuck couldnt you say that like 1 or 2 months ago? Why last minute?

You're still not saying the magic words harris. Repeat after me: 'i will enforce american laws regarding war crimes until israel obeys international laws regarding war crimes and genocide'. You've waited too long and i doubt you'll do it before you need to tomorrow.

Its easy to see how she's more focused on the israel hostages than Palestinian population, a group who as our own diplomatic core has informed the admin shes a part of, will be returned in a ceasefire agreement. Hamas already agreed to return them, at least before israel starting offing those leaders first. Only israel is the issue.

We're not in a vacuum. Two things can be true. She can honestly be pro Israel but also hope the turds that are the Likud Party lose power, work to end the genocide, and find a two-state solution - that is, if Hamas and Bibi will allow it, which they won't.

This binary all-or-nothing, zero sum bs is just toxic and ignorant.

Like her ads I'm sure she has a more pro Israel slant in other cities.

Yeah im sure you'll condemn netanyahu as a dictator with an illegitimate claim to power. Im SURE you'll stop selling billions of dollars in weaponry to them. Seriously though, vote Harris

"Sorry, best I can do are harsh words of condemnation."

"Harris slams proponents of war in Gaza"

Still better than Trump by a huge margin.

Literal last minute shilling bruh

If she had said this once like even 2 weeks ago, people might have actually listened

And I am a prince from Nigeria who will give you money if you send me your information

Finally some positive words now for acting on it, if she gets a chance.

In a presidential democracy she has all the power if she wants it.

Which isn't much, congress controls the money and military aid given. Outside of joining the war and placing our military where IDF is and seeing if that will end war crimes, there's not a lot on the table and Bibi isn't going to take a single threat seriously, he knows the US is chained to Isreal with millions and millions of dollars in lobbying.

I'm glad all of the users I've tagged in the past month decided to congregate in this thread to show everyone how full of shit they've been this entire time.

Well done.

Biden sure said a lot of things, but how much did he actually do?

If you just had said that two months ago, it would have saved me so mando idiotic conversations...

I'm sure Netanyahu also wants it to end right after he gets his sadistic goals.

As of mid 2024 the lowest estimate I found was >7000 Palestinian children dead, as compared to a highest estimate of <100 Israeli children dead. Any child dead is too many but it shows that this is not a war, it's a slaughter.

I voted for Harris because any alternative is asinine, but we should expect that the arms shipments to Israel will continue unless we pressure our politicians.

Oh thank fuck

She will do that by giving Israel more money. Soon Palestinians will be all genocided. Then the war will stop; because there will be no one else to fight against.

I think it's fair to say we all want the death and suffering to end. I'm curious, however, about the overarching goals of those advocating for Stein and such. Some people have suggested that Russia and China stand to benefit the most from America cutting off support to Israel. Russia has certainly vied for influence in the region and generally picks up whatever America leaves behind for pennies on the Ruble.

To summarize my question: if the US cut off support to Israel with the intent of ending genocide, wouldn't Israel simply partner with Russia or China instead?

I don't see how this helps Gaza, but it seems like to make the situation worse.

Look who comes crawling back after banishing Palestinians at the DNC.

This is the power of not voting for these politicians. They will only listen when they have to earn your vote.

And she only starts pandering after Trump lets Arabs on stage. Funny how that works.

In any case she is VP right now. Trump can lie about anything he wants. He is not in power. Kamala can not.

Speaking directly to people with child brains

The replies I'm getting are filled with the broken english and rote talking points of Russian shills

Save your hollow words. I already voted for Jill Stein.
