If you think Kamala Harris is going to take action to end the ongoing genocide in Gaza, please tell me specifically why you believe that.

I am starting a splinter group because I found the rules of "Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion" to be somewhat restrictive.

In your estimation, is Harris neutral compared to Biden, a little better, or what, for the people in Gaza? I'm asking out of curiosity. I appreciate skepticism, and I did not like how things were handled at the DNC - the denial of pro-Palestinian speakers (censorship of much more than we know I'm sure) and Harris' comments. But it feels like there's so little politically to feel hopeful about these days that I want to believe she'll be an improvement over Biden vis-a-vis the ongoing genocide in Gaza
I think it is imperative that she win the election. It's not hyperbole when I say that a second Trump term could result in the end of organized human survival. Having said that I don't believe she will be any better than Biden. When I post things critical of Kamala Harris it's because I recognize how much work is needed in order to force her administration to be better than her predecessor.
She will, but not until November at the very earliest (but more likely February) because taking too bold a position now will lose votes and money from AIPAC and MIC supporting voting blocs.
