One young woman from Iran, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: “It won’t be a clinic, it will be a prison. We are struggling to make ends meet and have power outages, but a piece of cloth is what this state is worried about. If there was a time for all of us to come back to the streets, it’s now or they’ll lock us all up.”

Same struggle world wide, we suffer while they oppress. Power to her.

Harris was running on doing exactly the same as Biden on Palestine.

Saying you want a ceasefire while you keep arming and funding the side causing the violence is not better, it's the same thing but with a layer of PR on top that gullible fools believe.

To end the genocide, you need a president that doesn't support Israel.

Harris also promised to do nothing differently than Biden.

she would not alter the Biden administration's policies on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Gaza war, stressing the need to secure a cease-fire/hostage release deal.

Harris is so hopeless on the Gaza situation that she won’t even call it a genocide, but she will stress Israel’s security and rights to “defend itself”.

You’re only kidding yourself if you think she would have meaningfully been different to the people in Gaza from Trump, both are carte blanche levels of support of Israel.

Kamala “I Won't Change Biden's Israel Policy” Harris pledged to do everything in her power did she?

Is that the same power Biden has, such as overriding congress to ship weapons to Israel? Or maybe it was rejecting Palestine voices at the DNC events?

Harris and the Dems were never going to reverse course on Palestine. They’d already taken their millions in J Street and AIPAC bribes, and their action and lack of advocacy has been clear since day 1.
