Harris, despite being part of the Biden administration, was seen by some as being more sympathetic to the pro-Palestinian cause and made a forceful case for a cease-fire deal after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netantyahu.
“We all came to a consensus that it’s not going to make a difference, that [Harris] represents this administration,” said Hatem Abudayyeh, chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. “We’re going to stay full steam ahead.”
Harris may also face sporadic protests inside the arena where she will make her televised acceptance speech on Thursday. About 30 delegates who represent the “uncommitted” vote in the primary which activists used as a means of protesting Biden’s policies on Israel will attend.
It’ll depend on a lot of factors that we can’t possibly predict, like, will Iraq allow Iran to cross their territory for troop deployment? Maybe. Will Syria become a launching ground for attacks? Maybe. Will Turkey or Egypt become embroiled in the conflict? Maybe. How much will Russia involve itself, and how long will it take for them to become involved? What’s going to happen to oil prices in the meantime, and how is that going to impact the global economy? Who knows!
It’s all very unpredictable and volatile, Israel needs to be stopped before things start to escalate beyond anyone’s control.
I agree that Israel needs to be stopped, but most of those are a pretty comfortable no. People need something to be in it for them. Wars are hugely expensive, not something you just jump casually into.
Syria being a base for attacks is a probably, though. imo anyway, I’m not in the Pentagon or anything. Oil prices and inflation would probably go up too.
