Hasan asked Tlaib how she herself was thinking about November—and the Democratic nominee for president.
“This question comes up a lot, but it's like, why is it on us and not on the party?” she responded. “I mean, look, this is real: a majority of Americans want us to end the support of the genocide,” prompting applause from the room.

I would really like an answer to that.

I would really like an answer to that.

The answer is, if Kamala Harris says anything less than wholeheartedly supportive of Israel’s ongoing war crimes, she’ll be slammed all across the media for anti-Semitism. That’s rancid but it’s a fact, so she’s probably politically smart to shut up about it until after the election.

I strongly suspect that if she wins, Ms Harris still won’t say much about the genocide. But… she’s better than Trump, on this and every issue.
