    Harris would not have done anything different, not that trump has done anything.

    Fact of the matter is the USA under Biden and Harris let Israel do whatever it wants, and rewarded them. Really what would Harris have done differently?

      Harris would have made some performative statement opposing IDF overreach while sending them more military aide

        Yes, but presumably with more back channel pressure on Netanyahu to tone it down and avoid expanding hostilities. Small consolation perhaps, but objectively better for Palestinian advocates.
