All she has to do is tell Benny to fuck off and not give him weapons. Thats it. Nobody is asking for a miracle, everyone is demanding to stop enabling and abetting.
They are required by law passed in 2008 to ensure Israel has a “Qualitative Military Advantage” over the area. They can’t just stop giving weapons completely as it is literally illegal.
They would have to show that Israel has more than enough to defend themselves from all likely attackers before they could prevent it, and if they do guess what: they don’t need weapons to keep on keepin on.
They can’t just stop giving weapons completely as it is literally illegal.
What about the Leahy laws? Isn’t it illegal to continue?
No, those laws don’t count because those in power are either scared to stop or don’t want to because they support the genocide.
Functionally, there is no difference between cowardice and enthusiastic complicity. And the enablers of genocide should not get the benefit of the doubt.
Could one argue that since Israel pretty clearly possesses nuclear weapons even if they wont directly admit to it, that they should be able to deter attacks that actually stand a chance at threatening the existence of the country due to the threat of those weapons, and therefore already have the required advantage without additional US assistance?
You’re right. No more weapons to Israel. Guess they’ll just have to use their nukes then.
I really wish people would take a moment and really consider what they are suggesting first.
They are also required by the Leahy law to cut off all military aid to any human rights abusers. The State Department confirmed there were war crimes that took place (a number posted as videos by soldiers), but the Secretary of State overrode his own department to illegally give the aid anyway.
All Harris has to do is say she will obey the laws no matter what her feelings may be on the topic. She’s a prosecutor and knows this.
She cannot do that unfortunately. She’s vice president in a government that explicitly doesn’t do that, and she can’t openly deviate while running.
From a foreign policy perspective it’s extremely undesirable to have the President and VP provide different messages. Who should (foreign) diplomats listen to? Who should be send to peace negotiations if different members of the cabinet have different positions? I don’t think something like that has ever happened.
Yes, she can, or already has won them back. “Uncommitted” was primarily about sending a message, and it was effective at doing that. I would be surprised if the majority of them planned on not voting for Biden, and now Harris, in the general.

Nobody can, so nobody should care.
Biden≠Harris, never has been.
If they want to project guilt onto people without considering the equal yet opposite outcome their opinions are moot.
Not being able to accept that two things can be wrong at once and disregarding the potential possibilities seem to be VERY popular this election year LOL.
You get she’s still the Vice President of the Biden Administration right?
The Uncommitted Movement, anti-genocide protestors, want a change in the Administration from the unconditional military support supplying a genocide, to a conditional support that forces Israel to abide by International Laws and not commit genocide.
Harris has the opportunity to pivot on Gaza and make it a partisan issue. That’s a major way to win some critical swing states. It’s good policy and good politics.
Given the fact that I saw “Sry don’t give a fuck about Gaza while our own democracy is at risk. Fighting progress for perfection is how you end up dead.” was a highly upvoted comment on a Gaza post, it’s safe to assume that the 90% “current thing” leftists have do not care anymore
You seem to confuse Liberals with Leftists. Said Liberals were already planning to vote for Biden despite the Genocide.
Oh. You’re one of the people urging an admin switch to “Israel should finish the job” Donald. “Surely we will see an immediate ceasefire enforced on Israel by the party telling us to deport protesters to Gaza and nuke the area.”
