      The anti-Israel crowd

      “Harris is the better choice in this fucking awful dilemma the US electoral system gives us” is not pro-Israel. It was a pragmatic option to reduce the damage a little, to lead the US down a better road domestically, and to leave the door open to later activism to stop the genocide where there was no viable third voting option.

      Please don’t conflate a Harris vote with a pro-Israel stance.
