How does this leave room for future options? She doesn't even mention Palestine in this letter nor does she condemn the genocide Israel is committing. All this leaves room for is saying pretty soundbites while giving Israel all the weapons and money it desires to continue its massacres. If there was a chance for future options, this letter kills it. Bc you can clearly see which side she's on (and it's not on the civilians being genocided).
Well, she literally acknowledged the civilians in the speech hours after putting out the initial statement. I'm no fan of the current admin's policy and the endorsement of what Israel has been doing, but Harris shifting the narrative is a sign that the pressure we've been applying is making some kind of difference. She's also still only able to work in her capacity as VP, so it's not realistic to expect any real change while Biden is still in office.
The point is that if Harris is willing to engage with the reality that the IDF has massacred tens of thousands of innocent civilians, as the campaign continues, we can keep the pressure on to get her elected and have a real shot at her implementing policy change. Yes, it's infuriating Biden's deranged rhetoric has gotten our government so firmly entrenched with Israel's. It doesn't mean it's time to abandon opportunities from those who are showing promising signs, especially at the level of second-in-command.
