Before any liberals get upset, Vice President Harris did press Netanyahu for a ceasefire and an end to the war in Gaza. There are two things that are worrisome though: one, Harris did not add that the continuation of the war in Gaza would have repercussions for Israel, two, she reaffirmed that the US would always support Israel’s right to self-defense which is the entire reasoning Israel uses to commit genocide. All Israel has to do is to say that they are acting in self-defense and their actions whatever they might be and however awful and atrocious, will be acceptable. The only thing that is a strong statement, was when Harris demanded an end to the war and for aid to enter Gaza and the famine that Palestinians are being subjected to. What we need to hear from VP Harris is that Israel will no longer receive any arms from the US or military funding until a permanent peace is agreed upon between Israel and Hamas. Harris said that she “will not be silent,” but the question is really, will she take action? Words mean nothing unless followed through with actions that correspond to those words.
So we have this one side of Harris that is hard on Israel, then we have the other side of Harris that goes past hard and straight into fascist territory.
There were two concerns and this is the third concern and it is a major concern. In one instant Harris seems like she might push for an end to the war, and this statement pretty much erases any of those hopes when she attacks peaceful protesters who did nothing antisemitic but her labeling it antisemitic means that she opposes any criticism of Israel over the genocide that they are committing or the human rights of Palestinians.
That’s fascist. Harris, while saying she supports peaceful protesting, straight out says she does not support peaceful protesting. That change up could give a person a whiplash. Unfortunately, it is not both ways. Either you support peaceful protesting, or you do not support peaceful protesting. The only violence that occurs in pro-Palestine protests are from the police or Zionists who attack protesters.
It appears that Harris is following in the party way- make it appear they’re being progressive, and then oppress with a smile. She made no promises regarding ending the war, just that she wanted an end to the war. All Harris has to do is lay blame on Israel needing to defend themselves and the genocide will continue indefinitely and Harris will explain it to the world that way, as if that is some form of justification for ethnic cleansing.
In one day, Harris has proven she can’t be trusted. She is just like Biden. They lay it on thick that they are on the left, but their actions always lay to the right.
Another Democrat that loves to lay it on as thick as can be is Gavin Newsom. Now that the conservative Supreme Court has okayed for the arrests of homeless people and banning sleeping outdoors, Newsom has announced that the state of California is going to destroy every homeless encampment on state land. There are not enough shelters for the homeless to find a safe place to sleep, and Newsom has not offered to increase funds for shelters so that homeless people are not subject to arrest.
It doesn’t get much for fascist than that. This is a Democrat and not a Republican. Newsom is going to arrest homeless people and the state of California will profit off of their labor. If there is no where else for homeless people to go, what else is going to happen to them? They will be arrested. It’s a law stacked against poverty.
Newsom and Harris are both Democrats and each day the Dems prove more and more that they are nothing more than conservatives that seek to oppress.
From the river to the sea, may Palestine be free. May the whole world be free.
