Listen, I'm just looking for a reason to hold on to hope right now. Americans are brainwashed about foreign policy in such a thorough way that I can't see a scenario where we have a strong response against Israel's genocidal actions for quite some time. It's sickening, so when I see someone who is critical of Biden in his own administration, I appreciate it.
I appreciate where you're coming from -- it would be a huge emotional relief to us all to see the killing in Gaza and the West Bank stop.
I just think there is a need to be realistic about the possibility of a meaningful shift when it comes to Palestine under a Harris presidency.
At this point, it's fingers crossed that bibi will piss her off enough that she actually stops sending arms
in the best case scenario the ceasefire will come well before she takes office in January
