A Concerning Immorality
In a recent interview, the Democrats presumptive nominee, VP Kamala Harris, said she was “hearing stories.” Speaking of food shortages across the coastal strip, including “catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity” affecting half a million people, which is roughly a quarter of Gaza’s population, Harris said she heard of people in Gaza “eating animal feel, grass.” Is Ms. Harris not aware, wonders the WSJ, that food prices in Gaza are significantly lower than in Israel?
In any other war in the past century, has one side regularly supplied food and goods to the enemy’s civilians—and still been attacked by the White House?
Why No Hostage Deal
By adopting the anti-Israel narrative, Ms. Harris is giving Hamas’s leader, Yahya Sinwar, every reason in the world to refuse a hostage deal.
Why give Israel the hostages without ending the war if there is a possibility the 47th president will force Israel to end it anyway?
“Let’s get the deal done so we can get a cease-fire to end the war,” Ms. Harris said Thursday, distancing the deal with her words.
More Than Political Incompetence
The de facto nominee’s worldview is troubling in its immorality, suggests the WSJ. Campus protesters “are showing exactly what the human emotion should be as a response to Gaza,” Harris lauded recently.
“There are things some of the protesters are saying that I absolutely reject, so I don’t mean to wholesale endorse their points. But we have to navigate it.”
” The state of the Democratic Party” is such that its presumptive presidential nominee claims that a war between a pro-Iranian murder organization and a democratic state “is not a binary issue.”
If Kamala Harris had taken the trouble to listen to Netanyahu’s address to a joint session of Congress, she might have understood that Israel has facilitated a surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza, which prevented a famine that the world’s leading experts on food security declared to be “imminent,” writes NRO.
On a website the Israeli government unveiled earlier this month, anyone with an internet connection can see the entries for 42,181 truckloads of food, medicine, and other goods that have passed through checkpoints at the Gaza border. The website lists the date of each shipment, its source, and its weight in tons.
A Better Ally Would Have Told the Whole Truth
Gaza residents, would still be facing “catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity.” It’s no accident that Vice President Harris used those exact words to describe the situation in Gaza, NRO reminds readers.
Technically speaking, what she said was 100 percent factual. Yet her selective presentation of the facts left an impression of Israeli responsibility for food shortages in Gaza, when the real story is the exact opposite: Israel facilitated a surge of aid sufficient to prevent a famine. A better ally would have told the whole truth.
The Iranian proxy Hezbollah has been firing at Israel for months, destroying villages and hitting playing fields equipped with children playing soccer. There is no “siege” and no “occupation,” yet the Biden administration is mediating between Hezbollah and Israel like a real-estate broker, warns the WSJ.
Instead of sending Iran an unequivocal, threatening message, it is sending adviser Amos Hochstein to plead with Hezbollah to halt the rocket fire and offer Israeli territorial concessions.
