Cackles Harris Open To An Arms Embargo On Israel

Of course, her staff denies this, much in the same way that Biden’s people had to constantly walk back what he said

Harris campaign denies support for Israeli arms embargo

In an effort at damage control, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign reaffirmed her support for Israel Thursday after initial reports of her meeting with pro-Palestinian leaders before a rally in Detroit suggested that she expressed an openness to an arms embargo for Israel.

A campaign source told The Jerusalem Post that Harris “did not express openness to an arms embargo.”

In a post on X, Harris’s National Security Adviser Phil Gordon said Harris has been clear and will always ensure Israel can defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups.

Yeah, but

According to a statement from a campaign spokesperson, Harris has “prioritized engaging with Arab, Muslim, and Palestinian community members and others regarding the war in Gaza” since October 7.

The spokesperson said in Wednesday night’s meeting with Uncommitted National Movement’s leaders Laya Elabed and Abbas Alawieh, Harris “reaffirmed that her campaign will continue to engage with those communities.”

“The vice president is focused on securing the ceasefire and hostage deal currently on the table,” according to the campaign spokesperson. “As she has said, it is time for this war to end in a way where: Israel is secure, hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinian civilians ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, freedom, and self-determination.”

The Uncommitted National Movement had said late on Wednesday that Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate, “shared her sympathies and expressed an openness to a meeting with Uncommitted leaders to discuss an arms embargo” during the interaction while campaigning in Detroit, according to a campaign aid.

Alawieh said on Thursday that both he and Elabed specifically asked for a meeting to discuss the demand for an arms embargo on Israel, “and in both cases, Vice President Harris expressed an openness to following up.”

Remember, the Uncommitted are primarily made up of the Islamists who said they would not vote for Biden because of his support of Israel. People who seem to have more allegiance to their home Islamist nations than the US. People who hate Jews and have shown their support of Hamas and other terrorist organizations. That’s who the Kamala campaign was playing with. That’s who she wants to get the votes of.

Will anyone in the media ask Kamala directly about her support for those who support Islamic terrorist groups, and if she supports Israel, and force her to answer?

(Wall Street Journal) The U.S. has warned Iran that its newly elected government and economy could suffer a devastating blow if it were to mount a major attack against Israel, a U.S. official said. (snip)

“The United States has sent clear messaging to Iran that the risk of a major escalation if they do a significant retaliatory attack against Israel is extremely high,” said the official. (snip)

Those messages have also put Tehran on notice “that there is a serious risk of consequences for Iran’s economy and the stability of its newly elected government if it goes down that path,” the official added.

Well, it’s not a threat of a military response by the U.S., but, at least it’s a threat. Of course, this leaves room for a smaller attack on Israel by Iran and their proxies.
