    Kamala Harris issued a Whitehouse statement condemning Hamas after the body of an American hostage was found last week:

    Hamas is an evil terrorist organization. With these murders, Hamas has even more American blood on its hands. I strongly condemn Hamas’ continued brutality, and so must the entire world.

    As Vice President, I have no higher priority than the safety of American citizens, wherever they are in the world.

    Will this be the trigger for her to use equally strong language to condemn Israel, who has killed 30 times more people in the ongoing genocide than Hamas? Or will she just reiterate as she did in her recent CNN interview that:

    I’m unequivocal and — and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself.

    CNN Reporter: But no change in policy in terms of arms and — and so forth?

    No.

    Does she care about all Americans, or only those whose deaths justify continuing this genocide?

      Shame “genocide Kamala” doesn’t have the same ring, maybe “colonizer Kamala”?

      Either way I’m disappointed, I had some hope and refrained from commenting about her for a while, but it’s clear she has zero intention of differing her stance from Biden.

        Killer Kamala?

        Same. I wanted to believe so badly. I would honestly accept the smallest hint that she was going to be different. Something to tell myself as I pull the lever. But if anything, she is toeing the line even more carefully than she did before.

      She says what she is told to say

      Maybe, just maybe, she wants to get the facts before nuking Israel.

        There’s a BIG spectrum between unequivocal support of Israel and nuking it. Right now she’s on one end of the spectrum. No one is asking her to swing to the other.

          Let’s be honest we don’t really get the facts. It’s propaganda from both sides.

          What we do know is Israel’s response has been pure bloodlust and not reasonable in the slightest.
