We turn to Kamala Harris’s position on Israel’s war on Gaza, which many are calling a genocide. After she was asked about calls to condition U.S. arms shipments to Israel by CNN reporter Dana Bash, Harris refused to consider halting the flow of weapons and instead affirmed her support of Israel. This position violates both federal and international law, argues Palestinian American political analyst Yousef Munayyer, and, coupled with her campaign’s denial of a requested Palestinian American speaking spot from “uncommitted” voters at the DNC, he warns that “Harris could be worse than Biden” when it comes to U.S. support for Israel.
I don’t think pro Isreal group are rallying to kill Palestinians, my guess is they see it like how we got with Al Queda after 9/11. It’s a stupid approach to terrorism, though people never learn from (recent) history.
Also the Chicago one does break it down by party, and yeah, 40% and 30% as you say. Looks like the sample is mentioned a little, about 2k. Probably phone screened. Honestly that’s probably closer to a statistical tie with those saying it’s a good balance + those saying we need more (lol). I like they also asked “is this getting brought up too much”— I’ll admit I’m probably with the ones saying it’s too much, but then again it’s not my biggest issue compared to climate change, education, and so on. Having an unhabitable world is gonna kill a lot more people than this conflict and we’re way more complicit in that. But I digress.
All I’m saying is if those numbers can be higher, it becomes too toxic to support, you’d see a bigger push on Isreal. You see that with other issues over the last few decades, with LGBTQ, abortion, etc, getting big policy platform shifts when public opinion changes. It’s just remarkable how resistant Isreal opinion is, given this isn’t even their first time fucking with Palestinians.
