She says she wants a ceasefire but none of her actions have indicated as such in interviews or the DNC. You can’t just ask for one from Netanyahu, you have to use leverage. If she refuses to do so before negotiations even start, then it doesn’t matter what she says, she won’t get that ceasefire. Biden also has said he wants one, for example. Don’t be Charlie Brown with the football.
However, I will have to admit I didn’t know Blinken isn’t staying on, which does make me breathe a sigh of relief. I’m also glad for Walz, or was in the beginning, but he hasn’t been much better lately. Historically, he’s been better than Shapiro, who volunteered to run Hasbara for the IDF, but lately his rhetoric has been the same. Hopefully she impresses, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
And the US has smacked Israel down before. It’s weird that Biden is to the right of Kissinger and Reagan on Israel.
They only replaced Biden because they were afraid of losing the election. The election is where all the leverage is. After that, there’s nothing, no power that can be exercised that those in charge care about (except for money, but the ones with that are right leaning and Zionists).
Thanks for the article on Blinken, though. That’s some much needed good news in these sad times. It’d be better if he was tried at the Hague but at least he won’t in power still if she wins.
An election is an exercise in basic civic duty that should be a mechanical choice. It is not leverage. Leverage is building grassroots movements between elections. If we lose our democracy there will be no Democratic Party to leverage against. Republicans want a christo-fascist dictatorship and want to jail their political opponents.
If we keep our democracy it will be possible to vote for candidates to the left of Kamala. Without it we will have fascists running the country who will not give up power freely.
