We were never gonna get an arms embargo. It would have been nice, but that wasn’t a thing that was realistically gonna happen. She’s still wants a ceasefire. Still thinks the things happening in Gaza are a “humanitarian crisis,” which isn’t saying genocide but is still more than biden really did. The uncommitted movement, even in prior articles on here, said they’re not expecting an arms embargo, just some sign that things will change. Like a ceasefire and some kinda peace deal. This is just her doing what everyone expected, including uncommitted organizers, supporting Israel but still pushing for change. Now, if the uncommitted organizers move the goal posts, that shows their not willing to compromise at all.
Here’s the article I’m basing my comment on. This was from a week and a half ago I think? Maybe roughly 2 weeks.
Quote I’m referencing: “Activists say they don’t expect a full-throated embrace of their platform — for the U.S. to stop selling arms to Israel — but say she must give them some indication that in a Harris presidency, U.S. foreign policy would shift.” They’re talking about how they don’t expect an arms embargo, but want change. This is talking to the leaders of the uncommitted movement.
What you’re saying is a shift from what they said back when the article was written. Which happens but is moving the goal posts. Course the article isn’t that good at them talking about what they actually DO want. Good to know they said that in their meeting with Harris, I’ll remember that for future.
