In Detroit, Harris Confronts Divisions Roiling Democrats Over Gaza War – DNyuz/NY TImes
With Harris and Walz in, some Democrats still weigh skipping the polls – msn/WaPost
“Over at Temple University, Vice President Kamala Harris had just introduced her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D)…Walz thanked Harris for ‘bringing back the joy.’
“Shepperd, 49, could feel none of that joy. Not when the United Nations had accused Israel of a ‘crime against humanity,’ and when, in her view, the White House — Harris included — wasn’t doing enough to help the people of Gaza. ‘I do want to vote,’ she said. ‘But ethically, I’m stuck.'”
Joy? There’s no joy in Gaza. As a former prosecutor, VP Harris should know reckless homicide when she sees it. She appears less willing to be led along by the nose by PM Netanyahu than President Biden has been on arming Israel unconditionally. However, given the political damage the Zionist lobby can inflict on Democrats, how far is she willing to go to stop the slaughter of civilians in Gaza?
