Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the press following a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in the White House complex.

Harris began by sharing a personal anecdote from her childhood, recalling how she planted trees to support Israel’s “right to defend itself.” She emphasized the complexity of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, urging Americans to understand that it is not a binary issue. “Let us all condemn terrorism and violence,” she stated. “And let us condemn antisemitism, Islamophobia and hate of any kind.”

Reflecting on her recent discussions with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Harris said, “I just had a frank and constructive meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I told him that I will always ensure that Israel is able to defend itself, including from Iran and Iran-backed militias such as Hamas and Hezbollah.”

“I’ve had an unwavering commitment to the existence of the State of Israel, to its security, and to the people of Israel,” she said.

      Nobody said anything about calculators, you don’t seem to understand the question. The comments about using commas in numbers in the U.S. are 100% correct.

      You have a keen interest in posting all day about politics in a country you arent from. Can never answer a question about your own background.

      Incessantly talk shit about Israeli policy from an anti Democratic perspective without a whif of criticism of the Republicans, who would be far worse in their full throated approval of Israeli warcrimes. What is your native language? Are you able to vote in the USA?

        Interesting statement that proves you have not done any research. I’ll not bother with your other baseless allegations either.

      The dot key on your calculator is a decimal point, not a thousands separator.

      Americans use the dot as a decimal point, and the comma as a thousands separator. This is the reverse of what most European countries do.

      An American would write $5,000,000.00

      A Frenchman (or a Russian) would write 5.000.000,00$

        They have Euros in France and the monetary sign comes before the number too.

        I’m quite amused by the amount of reaching here though. You guys might accuse me of being the Boston Bomber if you keep this level of detective work going.

          I mean, your username is Dutch. It doesn’t take Columbo to figure out you’re probably not American.

              I mean, I don’t care where you’re from.

              I’m more bothered by the fact that you don’t know how to use a calculator.
