It’s not just “Uncommitted” activists who are pressuring Kamala Harris on Gaza policy. Her own delegates are speaking out.

Yes, I recall the speeches Biden has given where he rallies the crowd against the Palestinian scourge!

This is like gesturing at W's lip service in speeches about how the War on Terror wasn't a war on Muslims. Do I need to explain to you how history did not bear out that distinction?

The difference here is that we can see the people Biden is unconditionally supporting in Israel and they most certainly are rallying crowds against the Palestinian scourge.

Biden doing his best to make the slaughter palatable to credulous liberals who want to focus on brunch does not change the reality on the ground. Harris, for the record, is no different except that she isn't senile.
