Kamala sides with Palestine

Kamala Harris’ record on Israel to the left of President Biden

The vice president has largely echoed the president’s view on Israel, but sounded a more sympathetic note to the plight of Palestinians in Gaza

While Vice President Kamala Harris has not yet earned the backing of Democratic leaders in Congress, she now looks like the presidential candidate to beat ahead of the party’s convention next month — bringing renewed attention to her record on issues of concern to the Jewish community, including her views on Israel and her record on speaking out against antisemitism.

In recent months, Harris has been a tougher critic of Israel than President Joe Biden, who frequently describes himself as a Zionist, and as a voice more sympathetic to the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.

“She’ll certainly be making it clear, as we’ve said many times before, that we believe that Palestinian people need a vote and a voice in their future, and that they need governance in Gaza that will look after their aspirations and their needs,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said in December, describing the role an increasingly more visible Harris would play pertaining to the war in Gaza.

What she and John Kirby want to forget is that the Palestinians voted in Hamas to lead them. Hamas has governed the Gaza Strip in Palestine since its takeover of the region from rival party Fatah in June 2007.
