Kamala: builds gas chamber "please don’t use this for genocide!
Hitler: uses it for genocide.
Kamala: builds another “I’m serious, please don’t use it for genocide, I will keep building them no matter what but please stop”
Hitler: uses it for genocide
Kamala: builds another “this genocide is getting old, look at all those other countries opposing you for it! Please stop, if not I’ll have to fight those other countries for you!”
Hitler: continues genocide
You: wow look how anti-genocide Kamala is! She keeps asking Hitler to stop doing genocide! While directly helping him do genocide and even vowing to defend him from others who would stop him! It’s the fact she asks him to stop that matters not the enabling!
That is not what Harris is doing.
It’s not?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Okay. So, I just had a frank and constructive meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I told him that I will always ensure that Israel is able to defend itself, including from Iran and Iran-backed militias, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
From when I was a young girl collecting funds to plant trees for Israel to my time in the United States Senate and now at the White House, I’ve had an unwavering commitment to the existence of the state of Israel, to its security, and to the people of Israel.
Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization. On October 7, Hamas triggered this war when it massacred 1,200 innocent people, including 44 Americans.
It is important for the American people to remember the war in Gaza is not a binary issue. However, too often the conversation is binary, when the reality is anything but.
So, I ask my fellow Americans to help encourage efforts to acknowledge the complexity, the nuance, and the history of the region.
July 25, after a meeting with Netanyahu…

And let me be clear. And let me be clear. I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself, because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on Oct. 7,…
And know this: I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists.

Harris also did not expose any daylight between herself and Biden on the Middle East when asked directly if she would be doing anything differently, including limiting arm sales to Israel.
“We have to get a deal done. This war must end, and we must get a deal that is about getting the hostages out,” she said.

Saying Israel should be able to defend itself is not the same as allowing Israel to offensively commit genocide. Two different things.
Harris supports the former, not the latter. Bibi wants the latter, not the former.
…
So…
She’s doing exactly what I said above…
Giving/promising to give him weapons and support to use for “not genocide” while he continues to do the genocide using those weapons and support…
Edit: if you’ll care to notice…she doesn’t call it a genocide. She calls it a war. A war which she blames Hamas for starting…therefore she tries to paint the genocide as falling under a “war of defense” just like Netanyahu and Israel do and exactly what she is promising to allow/help Israel with…
