Harris defends security aid to Israel alongside pressure for ceasefire
The poor thing finds herself between the Devil and the deep blue sea. Is she clever enough to thread between her Jew-hating, Progressive impulses and those of her voters who still love Israel?
[IsraelTimes] US Vice President Kamala Harris
It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day
defends US security assistance to Israel, but also says the Biden administration will not halt its pressure on Jerusalem for an end to the fighting.

"The aid that we have given Israel allowed Israel to defend itself against 200 ballistic missiles that were just meant to attack the people of Israel," Harris tells CBS’s "60 Minutes" in a preview clip of a rare interview, slated to air in full tonight.

The administration has faced questions over its continued aid to Israel given accusations that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is bucking Washington’s interests and objectives in the region.

"When we think about the threat that Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
, Hezbollah... Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
present, I think that it is without any question, our imperative to do what we can to allow Israel to defend itself against those kinds of attacks," says Harris, who is running to succeed US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity....
in the White House.

The Democrat insists that the security aid is provided in parallel to diplomatic engagements with Israel’s leaders aimed at swaying their actions.

"The work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles, which include the need for humanitarian aid, the need for this war to end, the need for a deal to be done which would release the hostages and create a ceasefire, and we’re not going to stop in terms of putting that pressure on Israel and in the region, including Arab leaders," she says.

Pressed on what that pressure has accomplished, given how the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
has dragged on and the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has expanded dramatically in recent weeks, Harris rejects the premise but does not give concrete examples to back her point.

"The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region," she says.

Asked whether the US has a close ally in Netanyahu, Harris dodges once again. "I think, with all due respect, the better question is, do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people? And the answer to that question is yes."

Harris has made this argument once before, cautioning against the conflation of Israel’s government with its people amid the Biden administration’s growing rift with Netanyahu over his handling of the war in Gaza.

#1 Somebody defined US Government (which has nothing to do with US elected officials) policy toward Israel as: They don't want Israel to lose, but they don't want Israel to win, either.

Enough of them have been recruited by the Deep State to effectively annul any meaningful representation to the voter. Their loyalty lies elsewhere.

Hence the popular term "do nothing congress."

#6 Report: Biden Offering Israel ‘Compensation’ to Not Hit Iranian Targets

“'The package would include a total guarantee of comprehensive diplomatic protection as well as a weapons package and was offered directly in return for holding off [emphasis added] on striking certain targets in Iran,' said a report from Israel’s Kan11 news cited by the Jerusalem Post."

So, when will it be "OK" for them to muss up some Mullah hair? Maybe sometime after 20 January 2025?
