What an anti-semite, she literally came in front of the bullet and then died to make israel look bad.
The Israeli soldiers seem to be murderers and killers who shoot wildly at the slightest provocation. They probably deliberately escalated this protest too.
Israel is a fascist regime that should face harsh sanctions.
The IDF is just ABAC on steroids.
If you’re referring to ACAB, many police departments are trained by Israel.
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?
Shame “genocide Kamala” doesn’t have the same ring, maybe “colonizer Kamala”?
Either way I’m disappointed, I had some hope and refrained from commenting about her for a while, but it’s clear she has zero intention of differing her stance from Biden.
Killer Kamala?
Same. I wanted to believe so badly. I would honestly accept the smallest hint that she was going to be different. Something to tell myself as I pull the lever. But if anything, she is toeing the line even more carefully than she did before.
Why is the US so soft on Israel killing US citizens, but so harsh on… anyone else that does it?
I mean, the Saudis did it a few years ago and we really didn’t raise much of a stink.
Great point. Can’t risk our oil interests!
There is also the Abraham Accords. Saudi Arabia was on the way to recognize Israel until October 7 happened.
Normally you’d say she was killed by the IDF, or Israel shot and killed an American.
Instead the media makes strong use of passive voice:
Witnesses say Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, was fired at by Israel Defense Forces soldiers positioned in a nearby field
I mean. “she was killed by the IDF” is passive voice, no? I think IDF is out of control as much as the next person but passive voice can be communicative and clear as much as active voice. And clearly it’s easy to reach for if you gave it as a counter example accidentally.
The problem is not that they use the passive voice, it’s that they use the passive voice systematically for one side and the active for the other. It’s always “Hamas kills” versus “shot dead by the IDF”, and usually the “by the IDF” part is buried in the article instead of the headline.
I’ve seen reports that just say someone “dies” instead of that the IDF killed them.
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
Eh, that’s not totally true. There’s no formal contract, a politician can absolutely take the money but not give them anything. That’s how they keep it from being bribery. But also, when you’re talking about the really influential groups, it’s seen as better to just take their money and keep quiet until you have to publicly do something.
So there is absolutely a chance. It’s not a guarantee, but it’s not nothing either.
