Kamala Harris’ attempt at the DNC to express “equal” sympathy for both sides — the Israelis and the Gazan Arabs — has not satisfied anyone. Political commentator Noah Rothman calls her remarks on Gaza “a lot of nothing.” More on his disappointment can be found here: “On the Gaza War, Kamala Harris Says a Lot of Nothing,” by Noah Rothman, National Review, August 23, 2024:
Why have “innocent lives” been lost in Gaza, and why are its people “desperate” and “hungry”? Because Hamas has abused the people over whom it presides. Their only value to Hamas is as sympathetic corpses. Why are they “fleeing to safety”? Because they are being evacuated via no-fire corridors by the IDF to temporary refugee cordons. Israelis do not oppose Palestinian self-determination….
“Innocent lives” have been lost in Gaza because Hamas deliberately embeds its men, weapons, and rocket launchers among civilians, in their schools, hospitals, mosques, and apartment houses. Hamas has a stake in maximizing civilian casualties; they are the central pillar in the terror group’s propaganda war. Israel, by contrast, tries always and everywhere to minimize civilian casualties, mainly by deploying an elaborate warning system, which by March had already included nine million dropped leaflets, fifteen million text messages, and sixteen million robocalls, all to warn Gazans away from areas, and buildings, about to be targeted. This warning system has allowed Israel to attain a ratio of civilians-to-combatants killed of 1:1, a result that no other army in the history of warfare has come close to achieving. Kamala Harris ought to ponder the significance of that achievement.
Harris could have told her adoring fans at the DNC that “as I speak, Israel has already accepted the deal for a ceasefire and a hostage-for-prisoner swap, but Hamas continues to refuse. In my administration, I will press hard for Hamas’ cooperation in relieving the suffering of people in Gaza.”
Harris did say: “I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists.”
Harris will “defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists”? Well, there is some unfinished business with Hezbollah and its killing of 241 Marines in their barracks in Beirut in 1983. Shouldn’t Harris want to “defend” our interests by showing Hezbollah that America has not forgotten that attack and will now pay back the terror group? And “our interests” certainly include guaranteeing the safety of our most loyal ally, the state of Israel, that now is faced with fighting a seven-front war, with Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, Assad’s army in Syria, the Kata’ib Hezbollah militia in Iraq, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the West Bank, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in Iran. Harris should have said something along the lines of “as Israel now faces a war on many fronts, we will supply our ally with all the weapons it needs not just to defend itself, but to bring the fight to the enemy so that it can end the threats to its existence rather than be forced to continually fend them off. Above all, with Israel’s help we need to ensure that Iran not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, which could set the entire Middle East ablaze.” But Harris did not even mention Iran’s nuclear threat.
If Harris is serious about opposing “Iran and Iran-backed terrorists,” should she become president, she must be prepared to provide Israel with bunker-buster bombs that will allow the IDF to take out the key nuclear facilities that Iran has built underground at Fordow.
Instead of trying to satisfy both sides, as she did in her brief remarks about Israel and Gaza at the DNC in Chicago, Harris ought to clearly choose a side – the right side. For the well-informed, the choice should be easy. The Jewish state is now fighting its fourth war for its survival — the others were in 1948, 1967, and 1973. It is fighting Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and their puppet-master in Iran. Hamas, with 3,000 of its operatives, smashed into Israel on October 7, where they proceeded to rape, torture, mutilate, and murder 1,200 Israelis and kidnap 251 others, who were taken back to Gaza is fighting to destroy the Jewish state. Its 1987 charter calls for that destruction. Hamas spokesmen such as Ghazi Hamad insist that the terror group will repeat the October 7 attacks “again and again and again.” For that is what the chant “From the river to the sea/Palestine will be free” means: Israel must disappear, to be replaced by a twenty-third Arab state. How hard is that for Kamala Harris to understand?

The hyena has not given an interview since she was selected to be president…in the absence of biden, the other pretender. But it is reported that she will be interviewed by dana bash of cnn….however she will have someone holding her hand so her salad can have some dressing. Her chosen hand-holder, walz.
Both of them are between what is known as Truth….hamas started it and Israel is right to finish it…and the lies that the hamas agitators are claiming. One of those is r. tlaib who is unhappy that a ‘palestinian’ didn’t get a speaking gig at the dnc.
No going back on that one. Looks like the hyena and her paw-holder have succeeded in making both sides angry.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
The Harris / Walz interview will also be recorded so that “problematic” issues can be deleted before airing.
Expect a very soft “puff piece” – devoid of substance.
Walter Sieruk says
Kamala Harris, along with her comrades of the Red /Green alliance, are already friendly terms with that murderous jihad entity, Hamas.
Walter Sieruk says
Kamala Harris with her anti-Israel polices doesn’t stop with her wanting an arms embargo against the State of Israel Even before this she supported the horrible idea that that Joe Biden is pushing for ,a so called “two –state solution” which taking everything into account is really no “solution, “ at all.
Even that leftist US President t Franklin D. Roosevelt with all liberal socialist ideology still had more common sense and understanding than Kamas Harris ,with comrades of the Red/Green alliance, for Biden is still striving to obtain that folly of an idea of a “two state solution.” Which in reality is no solution but a recipe for disaster. The reason why this is so is because a “Palestine state” that would be, no doubt, controlled by wicked jihad-minded Muslims with all their Islamic intolerance would only be a set up for a catastrophe in the Middle East.
As President Roosevelt, had so very wisely declared, “No compromise can end that conflict. There never has been—there never can be—successful compromise between good and evil. Only total victory can reward the champions of tolerance, and decency, and freedom, and faith.”
Walter Sieruk says
The editor of the Jerusalem Post is absolutely right when he wrote that if Kamala Harris would become the next US President that “Would be a disaster for Israel and for the Jewish people.”
For example, the supreme Ayatollah of Iran ,Khamenei as well as the other Muslim clerics as the ayatollahs and mullahs along with the Muslim members of the Iranian parliament n do naturally favor having Kamala Harris in the Office of the President of the United States. This is because she would continue the policy of appeasement of Joe Biden of giving those despots of Iran everything they demand.
For Kamala Harris ,along with her many of her comrades of the Red /Green alliance that she would fill her administration with would gladly grant that anti America and anti-Israel Islamic regime all provisions that those tyrants clamor for.
As the Jewish and Israel hating Islamic tyranny would then use the financial support given to it by Kamala Harris and use that money to obtain many deadly weapons to the it’s proxy jihad murder machine entities and Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad so that that those jihad groups would launch in many murderous Islamic terrorist attacks against the peaceful citizens of the State of Israel.
Furthermore , that “mullah regime” of Iran would also use that money to send its jihadist operatives through the porous US /Mexican borders ,created by the Biden/Harris team , to engage in future 9/11 murderous jihad affronts across the US.
So, indeed, those hostile and vicious Islamic dictators of Iran will do everything that they are able to do to ensure the Kamala Harris will be the next President of the United States.
In addition., Kamala Harris, along with her comrades of the Red /Green alliance, are already friendly terms with that murderous jihad entity, Hamas.
Walter Sieruk says
Kamala Harris with her support for what she calls “Palestinian self- determination,” actually means that she supports the idea of what some people call a “two –state solution.” In reality that is no genuine solution, at all.
That terrible folly of Kamala Harris is revealed by his total lack of wisdom about the State of Israel two-state solution.” One the other hand maybe she, with her Red/Green alliance, she’s just evil.
Thus a “two state solution” is out of the question. .This is because a “two state solution” not really a “solution” but an Islamic ploy of deception , a smokescreen and hoax and a fraud.
For example those Hamas rocket attacks in to Israel from Gaza reveals that even the idea of some people of dividing Jerusalem as well as other parts of the State of Israel between the Jewish people of the Muslim/ Arabs is nothing but folly. To engage the madness of such “talks” is a hoax and a farce .This is because in the so called “negotiations” between the heads of the Jewish nation of Israel and the leaders of the “Palestinians” the Muslim /Arabs the “Palestinian” leaders will speak the truth only when in happens to fit their agenda. The rest of the time the will be speaking half-truths and outright lies. For their goal is to obtain all of the land of the State of Israel. Even in it takes much time and it means getting the land piece by piece. Therefore, those “peace talks” are a hoax.
For the “Palestinian” leaders are employing what is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya . Which is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception are good things to do as long as it’s done for the cause of the advancement of Islam. The insidious scheme is part of the stealth jihad .Otherwise known as “Islamic Gradualism.”
This sly and something subtle strategy of disingenuous speech, lying deception of achieving the goal of all the land of Israel a war ploy that will be a disaster if the heads of the State of Israel are foolish enough to agree to divide the land of Israel with Muslim /Arabs ,the “Palestinians.” For if such a “peace dialogue” results in a divided land, the outcome will literally be murder. For “Palestinian” leader will allow the jihadists use that land as a base to launch murderous rocket attacks in to Israel. As for example, Hamas of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Such false hopes for peace which are based on the foundation of lies are nothing new when it comes to Israel. For example, the Bible in Psalm 55:20, 21. Reads “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother the butter but their thoughts are of war.” [N.E.B.]
Walter Sieruk says
That those tyrants in power in Iran want Kamala Harris to become the next US President should be of no surprise to any well informed person. The reason why this is so is because those in power in that Islamic tyranny of Iran will do everything they are able to interfere in the process on the 2024 national election in order to have that Jewish hating pro-Islamic radical far -left, wing Marxist Kamala Harris ,who is part of the Reed/Green alliance, in the White House as President.
For if those Muslim dictators of Iran would have Kamala Harris as the next US President, that would ensure that they would have a friend in the Oval Office of the White House granting them everything that they demand.
Looking all this from the view of those despots of Iran. It’s like in the insidious sense, they would think “Why shouldn’t we meddle in the US general election, again, ? We did before in 2020 and it worked [1] ,we got our useful idiot Joe Biden , in the White House who conceded to all our demand. For our cunning stealth jihad strategy worked for us so then, we should do it again.”
The sly and effective influence by those in power in the hostile America hating Islamic tyrannical regime on the 2024 US Presidential election should not be underestimated.

Will never happen. Her mom was a student at Berkeley. Granted it was in Endocrinology rather than anything political, but how many Berkeley students are there in any discipline who dare stray from the hard anti-Semitic Left? Both Kamala & Maya lived w/ their mom after their parents divorced, so guess who had a more lasting influence on her beliefs

AMISRAEL CHAI !!!!!!

But she’s worried about her money flow from muslims.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Not so much money, as much as votes in Michigan! If she loses it b’cos the Rashida Tlaib/Abdullah Hammoud crowd refuses to turn up for her on election day, it could cost her the election. That’s one reason that she’s trying to be as hostile to Israel as she can. Other reason, of course, is that it’s what she really believes, to the extent that she really believes anything (imo, she’s just a sophisticated airhead)
