“I’m unequivocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself, and that’s not gonna change,” said Harris, recounting the horrors of the Hamas-led October 7 attack. “Israel had a right, has a right to defend itself.”

    How is it easy?

    Be ethically correct and abandon Israel. Take a highly unadvised risk and lose the election. Uber douche dives headlong into atrocities.

    But at least she could sleep at night.

        I don’t care if we stop supporting Israel. I’m not saying people should shut up about Palestinians being slaughtered. I’m only saying someone running for president has to accept that there are more variables than you or I have.

        The view that there is a genocide that the US is an accomplice to may be shared by a majority of US citizens but I wouldn’t bet the presidency on that it’s the majority of the voters.
