Kamala has been pretty consistent on saying that what’s happening in Gaza is absolutely unacceptable and she cannot turn a blind eye to it. It’s the most harsh rhetoric we’ve seen from people in high leadership positions.
The problem is that she then pairs those statements with the exact same rhetoric that Netanyahu and Biden use obfuscate the genocide campaign (“will always defend Israel’s right to defend, yadda yadda yadda”). I appreciate that some of her language is a tiny bit better than Biden, but that just not enough. She has to show some of this ‘leadership’ quality that the DNC keeps bragging about. There must be some policy shift proposed. Otherwise her language is about as meaningless as trump’s empty claims that he’ll end the war in Ukraine as president elect.
It’s a tricky line to balance. The entire Democrat base doesn’t want to say fuck Israel, we’re pulling out (even if I’d like for us to). So far she seems to be balancing quite well however.
There really isn’t anything wrong with Israel going after Hamas. They have that right. The problem is that they’re just bombing blindly and going “did we get them?”, and it creates a situation where those they hurt now have the right to seek revenge against the Israeli government.
