It’s not just “Uncommitted” activists who are pressuring Kamala Harris on Gaza policy. Her own delegates are speaking out.

    Yes, I recall the speeches Biden has given where he rallies the crowd against the Palestinian scourge!

    Biden - of course, he is senile, so he is just a stand-in for the current Dem leadership - provides unconditional military, diplomatic, and financial support to Israel in their campaign to destroy Gaza. For example, the JDAMs used so extensively to destroy schools, hospitals, mosques, churches, bakeries, refugee camps, etc, are exclusively manufactured by Boeing and Israel "buys" them via US "aid", which, in reality, is just the US government buying the weapons and giving them to Israel to commit genocide with. The US lashes out at every attempt to reign in Israel via diplomacy, gladly carries water for obvious lies intended to justify the genocide, and props up the Israeli economy through direct investment and trade relationships.

    But sure, as I already mentioned, liberals try to whitewash and deflect from the genocide they know they are supporting. They use euphemisms and start acting erratically when you remind them of what they are celebrating. But everyone knows what unconditional material support for Israel's genocide means. You know what it means.

    Look, I'm not arguing that the Israelis are doing anything positive

    They are ethnically cleansing Gaza as part of a settler colonial apartheid project that depends on US support.

    I'm merely suggesting that the venn diagram of people who are thankful that Biden dropped out and people who support genocide is not a circle.

    I've already described the function of this. Feel free to directly address it rather than hem and haw.
