    Every candidate but Harris will ensure that Palestinian suffering increases.

    Harris has not said anything concrete about holding Israel back. Or stopping shipments.

      Except she absolutely has.

      She’s called for the investigations needed to legally stop the funding.

      Because there’s a full legal process that needs to happen to overrule Congress on allocated funding.

      Trump was impeached over fucking with funds allocated by Congress to a foreign government.

      A Harris win means a push for a cease fire. Especially if Democrats win the House and Senate.

      A Trump win on the other hand… Well. He’s actually on record as pro-genocide.

        A Harris win means a push for a cease fire.

        Biden has used none of the levers they have available to get Israel to the ceasfire table. When asked, Harris defaults to the Hasbara answer playbook, starting her answer with Israel “defending itself” from the Oct 7 attacks.

        We need the weapons shipments stopped. They are already a clear violation of US law. They are a crime. Harris has been asked point blank if she would stop the shipments and she said no. So you are just parroting empty marketing and lies. Other presidents have gone further than merely stopping weapons shipments and stopped this same exact pattern of violence with a simple phone call. We arent even asking for that phone call.
