[Eliot Rosewater]

The devastating situation happening to the Palestinian people, Gaza etc.

Gee, wonder what the fuck all this is😡




Balancing Israel's right to defense and Palestinian suffering: In her August 2024 speech at the Democratic National Convention, Harris stated, "I will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself," citing the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas. However, she also described the situation in Gaza as "devastating" and "heartbreaking," calling for an end to the "suffering of the Palestinian people".
Emphasizing a two-state solution: Throughout the campaign, Harris reiterated her support for a two-state solution, stating that the outcome must ensure Israel's security while also allowing for Palestinian self-determination, dignity, and freedom.
Calling for a ceasefire and hostage deal: Harris consistently called for a ceasefire deal that would secure the release of hostages held by Hamas. This stance aligned with the Biden administration's policy, and she often framed the two-state solution as the ultimate path toward a more durable peace.
Pushing back against Netanyahu: In her memoir, 107 Days, published in September 2025, Harris detailed a tense July 2024 meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She wrote that she forcefully challenged his denial of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and believed he was "running out the clock" in hopes of a Trump victory.
Response to protesters: Harris frequently faced interruptions from pro-Palestinian protesters at her events. In response, she often defended her position, stating she understood their concerns and had privately pushed the Biden administration to speak out more on the humanitarian crisis. At her final rally in Michigan, a state with a significant Arab American population, she promised to "end the war in Gaza".
Context of comments
Harris's campaign comments were made amid intense political pressure from different parts of her party.
Progressives: She faced criticism from progressive Democrats and the "uncommitted" movement, who felt her stance was too close to President Biden's and not forceful enough in demanding an end to the war.
Swing states: Her comments were carefully crafted to appeal to key constituencies in swing states like Michigan, where the war's impact on Arab American voters was a significant factor.
Pro-Israel allies: At the same time, she worked to reassure pro-Israel allies of her continued support.
