But Biden is letting Netanyahu do what he wants, Harris said she wouldn´t have done anything differently and made it perfectly clear where she stands on Palestine.
And it is already turning into a regional war under BIden. His advisors told Netanyahu he should invade Lebanon and there are not many admins that were more hawkish on China than this one! And this administration DID deport Palestinians and other activists and DID jail dissidents. Your mistake is that you think all of this is somehow happening without Biden and his admins approval. Blinken literally told aid workers that they will not try to stop the occupation forces from bombing aid trucks/workers and Biden advisors told Netanyahu that if he invades Lebanon he could "reshape the middle east for decades to come"
At one point people need to realize, this is Trump, but without the noise!
Don’t disagree with your description of Biden administration, including Harris. But, terrible as it is, it could get worse faster, very fast, with Trump. This has to be a tactical call. Strategically, we have to defeat the pro-Israel colonialist agenda. Both parties support it, but tactically I think it would be a mistake to let Trump win. Corey Bush was interviewed on Al Jazeera and she expressed it well. She said there’s a difference between what we feel emotionally and what we have to consider tactically. Been reading You Have Not Yet Been Defeated by Alaa Abd El-Fattah. He was an Egyptian dissident during the Arab Spring. He’s now (last I heard) in solitary confinement in prison. Amazing book. It gave me a sobering sense of what it means to have a full-on right-wing government. Yes, we have it bad with the Biden-Harris administration, but the only alternative at this moment in our struggle is much, much worse and could potentially destroy our movement at this early stage of development. We’ve made so much progress! 70 percent of Democrats want a ceasefire. This administration is ignoring this huge change and Americans are becoming more aware of the true nature of the Israeli project and American complicity. Let’s not squander all that progress. If Harris is elected, she will most likely continue the Biden policies, but this will give us more opportunities to expose the duplicity between what they say and the bombs they provide. Emotionally I agree with you, but this is war, and we need to fight with objective analysis of our strengths and weaknesses at this moment in time. “Know the enemy and know thyself, and win a thousand battles.” This is not the time to invite Trump to the table. No time is the right time. Next election there will be no Trump. We don’t know what will be the circumstances. We can’t gain anything with another Trump presidency. We need more time to organize. Fascists use speed to conquer. That is what Trump is most likely to do with the support of Christian Zionists and the Republican Party. Blitzkrieg. “…it is clear that terror is not simply an emotional and psychological phenomenon but a physical one as well in the sense of physics and kinetics, a phenomenon related to what I call the ‘acceleration of reality.’” From Paul Virilio, The Administration of Fear, as he relates his experience of the German blitzkrieg to Hannah Arendt’s observations of totalitarian governments. “Terror cuts to the quick: it is connected to life and quickness through technology.” The so-called “law of speed.”
Couldn’t agree more. I voted today. I didn’t vote for any candidate for president. I voted basically for our senator who has some integrity. I’m in a safe blue state so I felt I had the luxury to vote my conscience and to support Palestinians. I would like it to be close in our blue state to send a message of discontent. If I lived in a swing state, I think I probably would have voted for Harris/Walz, as a vote against Trump. Horrifying as the choices are! I know the decision is hard for Palestinians. My heart goes out to them—regardless of how they vote.
CD James, thank you for stating this so clearly. This moment in our history is horrific and devastating but division is what benefits fascists most, we must remain faithful and committed to progress toward a more peaceful loving just world for all. After what I pray will be a Trump blowout defeat, I want all Americans to protest this genocide in numbers too great for Biden/Harris to ignore, and not let up until immediate change can occur. I believe change is possible, don't let Trump's lies distract. We are stronger united. Trump also loves Jill Stein, she helps him gain power. Protest is not possible under a fascist dictatoship. I intend to read You Have Not Yet Been Defeated.
Punishing Harris does do something important: it breaks the invincibility of AIPAC lobby. Her defeat will be directly linked to her failure of stopping the Palestinian genocide and, therefore, will place AIPAC's electoral success rate in the limelight. Trump and the next election campaigners will think twice before believing AIPAC support is a guaranteed win, thus the beginning of the unravelling of AIPAC's hold over congress.
Punishing Harris might also break the two party system: if Jill Stein - who I frankly believe is accountable for her support of Russia and Syrian genocide denialism - wins 5% of the vote, it opens up federal and state funding and allows a third party to grow.

Yeah, I guess it boils down to whom one wants to organize against. I get all that but it just sucks...
