US Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris didn't answer directly when asked if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a friend or ally of the United States. This raised some questions about how strongly she supports Israel.
During an interview with the long-running news program "60 Minutes," Kamala Harris was questioned about the Biden administration's difficulties in negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas, which has governed Gaza since 2007. Journalist Bill Whitaker asked her if the United States has influence over Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and whether the Biden administration considers him a trusted partner.
“Do we have a real, close ally in Prime Minister Netanyahu?” Whitaker asked.
“I think, with all due respect, the better question is do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people? And the answer to that question is yes,” Harris responded, correcting the veteran newsman with a question she's better suited for answering to confuse the listener.
During the entire interview, Whitaker appeared upset that Netanyahu didn't take the Biden-Harris administration's advise to ease off winning so much and tone it down. Harris agreed by not disagreeing.
“We supply Israel with billions of dollars in military aid. And yet, Prime Minister Netanyahu seems to be charting his own course. The Biden-Harris administration has pressed him to agree to a ceasefire. He’s resisted. You urged him to not go into Lebanon. He went in anyway. He has promised to make Iran pay for a missile attack, and that has the potential of expanding the war. Does the US have no sway under Prime Minister Netanyahu?” Whitaker asked.

Screw Whitaker and screw Harris. When will the United States tell Hamas and Hezbollah to surrender? Why should the burden always be on Israel? The truth is, when Israel was the victim of the October 7 massacre, the US had sympathy. When Israel began winning the war against the terrorists, they were the "victimizers" and Hamassholes and Hezballess were the victims.
Let's face it; there are a lot of racist scumcrumpets out there.
At the same time, Israel has ramped up its military operations against Iran-backed Hezbollah. For the past year, Hezbollah has been launching rockets, missiles, and drones at northern Israeli communities nearly every day.
Iran supports and sponsors both Hamas and Hezbollah and has recently launched over 180 ballistic missiles at Israel directly. The Jewish state has vowed to respond to the attack as the history of FAFO has proven it can and will.
Harris responded to Whitaker, arguing that American military aid has allowed Israel to “defend itself against 200 ballistic missiles” aimed at killing the Jewish state’s civilians. “It is without any question,” she said in her annoying nasal voice, that the federal government has an “imperative” to help Israel mitigate threats from belligerent entities such as Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah. She added that Israel has an obligation to allow “humanitarian aid” to enter the Gaza Strip and cooperate with ceasefire negotiations, unlike Hamas who simply uses Gazans as human shields.

[Fun Fact: Kamala Harris is reportedly having covert meetings with Michigan Muslims Thursday to discuss providing aid to Lebanon and Gaza in the hope of buying votes.]
Harris added that American pressure against Israel has “resulted in a number of movements in that region” that have helped improve living standards for Palestinians in Gaza, but when pressed, Harris was unable to define where Palestine is located as it is a figment of our collective imaginations.
Since ascending to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket in July, without receiving even one vote from the public, Harris has sought to shore up support among the Jewish community as well as the Arab and Muslim communities in the US by basically telling them what they want to hear, but her record as VP speaks for itself and it speaks Karl Marx.

Harris has also been accused of maintaining perfunctory support for Israel based on her level of support for Israel and the threat of removing that support unless Israel bows down to her.
