Harris’s Terrible Answer on Gaza

by Daniel Larison

“Harris had a perfect opportunity in this interview to put some distance between herself and the administration’s indefensible policy. Unfortunately, she squandered it with the same rote declaration of support for Israel’s defense and her rejection of using any pressure to bring the war to an end. Like Biden, the vice president says that the war ‘must’ end, but she won’t support doing the one thing that the U.S. has at its disposal to end it. It makes no sense to say ‘get the ceasefire done’ when the administration to which you belong continues funneling weapons to one of the belligerents and runs interference for the government that keeps sabotaging the negotiations.” (08/30/24)
