Harris tells Palestinian organizers she is open to discuss arms embargo on Israel - NYT
The Jerusalem Post ^ | August 8, 2024 | By JERUSALEM POST STAFF

US Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris met with two Arab Americans leading the Uncommitted National Movement, who asked her to consider an arms embargo on Israel, at a campaign stop in Michigan, the New York Times reported.

Just before her rally, Harris met with Abbas Alawieh and Layla Elabed, who, according to the report, "wanted to support her but... wanted her to consider an arms embargo." In response, Harris indicated she was "open to it" and introduced the two community leaders to her staff.

In addition to the arms embargo, the uncommitted organizers also asked for a convention speaking role for an organization representative.

At the rally later, many people in the audience heckled Harris, chanting, "Kamala, Kamala, you can't hide. We won't vote for Genocide."

It’s a disgrace we have to go overseas for reporting.

I wonder if this is enough to persuade my granddaughter’s other Jewish grandmother to not vote democrat.

Naaaah. Who am I kidding.

Israel will need find a way to get along without the USA in any case, because the USA is going away.

I’m confused. How and by what authority does she plan to do that as EX-VP?

I still think there is a chance that Joe resigns and Kamalabama becomes the incumbent when all this bullharky “high energy” fails to give them the numbers for the election. So maybe she’s talking about during that very short period. She can do a lot of damage, but DT will erase it on day one.
