‘It is time for this war to end,’ Harris tells Netanyahu; ‘I will not be silent’ on Palestinian suffering
Lol mixed messaging. You literally just condemned people protesting him coming to the US
Do you think we’re this stupid?
Protests themselves often tend to be less popular than the causes they promote. Politically it can make sense to distance from a protest, but still align with a cause itself that is more popular
It’s strange, but ultimately the cause itself is what matters here
Do you agree with her condemnation of hamas, and support for netanyahu?
This is the equivalent of condemning the police officer who killed George Floyd, but also condemning the George Floyd protests.
I’m committed to posting this MLK quote as often as it is relevant:
First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”
Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
I’m at the point that I find this quote whenever I need it by opening my profile and sorting by controversial.
She’s lying to both parties. This is hypocrisy, and its discrediting.
Unless you only hear the lie intended for you. Trump is a master at this sort of thing. Maybe Harris is a better politician than we think.

to all the people saying talk is cheap, calm down champs. she is not the president yet, she is still a part of the Biden administration and anything she does likely needs to be vetted by them. by saying such she accepts losing the support of certain lobbies which will give her more independence and leeway during her presidency I think. words matter more than you think, especially at the brink of an election, when pretty powerful organizations expect you to say things in a certain way.
No, fuck that. Words have been wind for four fucking years on this matter and she’s inheriting the seat that the LAST genocider-in-chief had. If you curry favor from genocidal lobbies, you’re a collaborator too, fuck off.
