Since her speech at the DNC, Kamala Harris’ public comments on Palestine have
tilted further right.
The Democratic Party is sending a clear message to advocates for Palestine —
whether or not you get in line, we don’t need you. It’s a strange position from
the institution when a clear majority of the party faithful endorse at least a
ceasefire in Gaza. But with the elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris as
the top nominee in November, enthusiasm that was lacking under President Joe
Biden has returned. There’s no need to give anything to a section of the base
that wants an end to the war.
Early attempts to confront Harris over her complicity in the Biden
administration’s policy — attempts that carried with them the hope that the
vice president would take the opportunity to break with the president — were
unsuccessful. Instead, Harris’ response, telling two Muslim women at a Michigan
rally, was “If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m
speaking.” The comments were so popular with her followers that they’ve spawned
T-shirts, mugs and memes.
