Less than an hour after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris reversed course, calling for a ceasefire and criticizing the Jewish state for “the magnitude of human suffering in Gaza” and “the deaths of far too many innocent civilians.”
Saluting Bibi with one hand, he stabs him in the back with the other.
After the meeting, Harris publicly touted her “unwavering” support for Israel’s right to exist – and in the process expressed concern for “more than 2 million people facing high levels of food insecurity and half a million people facing catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity.”
(Notice how the shift to “food insecurity” after the data proved there was East no starvation, like the Gazans do more (They received more food than they needed from humanitarian aid and private groups.)
Reality check: all the suffering, death and hunger is there Hamaswho started this war by breaking a ceasefire with his October 7 atrocities – and who is huddled in the hundreds of miles of tunnels and bunkers he built under Gaza while embezzling billions in international aid.
Israel has made unprecedented efforts to protect civilians, but horrors are inevitable in war, especially when Hamas continues to commit war crimes. every day by hiding among civilians and stealing their food and other relief supplies.
But Harris won’t say any of this because that’s not what the left wants to hear.
She somehow thinks she can convince the vast majority of Americans that she is not a pro-Hamas radical – when soothing pro-Hamas radicals.
The result: our number one ally in the Middle East is further alienated, while the anti-Semitic left remains dissatisfied.
Moreover, Harris’s encouraging comments toward Hamas could hamper Jerusalem’s efforts to negotiate a hostage release and risk further escalation in the region as Iran and its partners seek to take advantage of cracks in U.S.-Israeli relations.
Trying to please both sides is pure cowardice, and further proof that Harris has yet to learn anything about how to run a successful foreign policy.
