Kamala Harris attacked Israel over its conduct of the war with Hamas in Gaza in remarks made Saturday at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, saying, “too many innocent Palestinians have been killed.”
The criticism comes as the Biden administration is facing enormous political pressure by the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party with reports of Arab Muslims and progressives in swing states including Michigan saying they will not vote for Biden-Harris in the 2024 election because of the administration’s support for Israel. Biden went through a struggle session with Arab Muslims at the White House on October 26 in which he criticized himself for doubting the high number of Palestinian casualties in Gaza claimed by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry: “I’m sorry. I’m disappointed in myself,” he told the group, according to two people familiar with the meeting. “I will do better.” (via the Washington Post)
Harris began her remarks with a recitation of the horrors of the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas and support for Israel’s right to defend itself, noting that Americans were killed and are still being held hostage. Harris praised the release of about half the hostages held by Hamas that was facilitated by the now ended ceasefire agreement. Harris went on to differentiate the Palestinians in Gaza from Hamas and then blasted Israel for its conduct of the war.
“Let me be also very clear as I have said before. We cannot conflate Hamas with the Palestinian people. Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization. Hamas has vowed to repeat October 7 until Israel is annihilated. No nation could possible live with such danger, which is why we support Israel’s legitimate military objectives to eliminate the threat of Hamas. President Biden and I have also been clear with the Israeli government in public and in private many times: As Israel defends itself, it matters how. The United States is unequivocal: International humanitarian law must be respected. Too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. Frankly, the scale of civilian suffering and the images and videos coming from Gaza are devastating. I have spoken with members of the Palestinian, Arab and Muslim communities of America, including those who have lost loved ones in Gaza and American citizens who were injured and evacuated from Gaza. It is truly heartbreaking. As Israel pursues its military objectives in Gaza, we believe Israel must do more to protect innocent civilians.”
All the ones killed are > ON THE ENEMY HAMAS / IRAN !!!!!! Blame THEM & No-One Else !!!
I would venture to say “barack hussein obama” got to her.
Throw her Racist Anti-American / Anti-Israel Hamas ass OUT of Govt !!!!! IMPEACH !!!!!!!
In a way, not that complicated. When enough of the Hamas terrorists are dead more peaceful situation can occur. From most accounts Hamas enjoyed active and tacit support from majority of Gaza residents.
actually when britian and france divided up the middle east after ww1 jordan was supposed to be the palestine homeland. Their government reneged, no one want those troublesome arabs. Their are no palestinians only arabs! those people voted for hamas so they are just reaping what they sowed! when these arabs , ie so called palestinians love their children more then they hate the jews then this nonsense will stop. until then full steam ahead!
Kill them all and let God sort them out! which since they don’t believe in Jesus that should be more then enough to seal their fate!
Most of Palestinians are HAMAS !!!!
Most Palestinians are women and children.
