Daffy VP Rattled by Pressure from Arab American Leaders During Raucous Michigan Campaign Rally, Takes Most anti-Israel position ever by Presidential Candidate
Vice President and Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris has expressed a willingness to consider an arms embargo on Israel, according to a New York Times report. Ahead of the Detroit rally on Tuesday, Harris met with Abbas Alawieh and Layla Elabed, co-founders of the Uncommitted National Movement, who pressed her on this issue. Harris indicated her openness to the idea and introduced them to her staff.
During the rally, Harris faced vocal opposition from the audience, with chants of “Kamala, Kamala, you can’t hide. We won’t vote for Genocide.” In response, a peeved Harris asserted icily, “I am here because we believe in democracy. Everyone’s voice matters, but I am speaking.” She added, “If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking.”
According to the Times, Alawieh and Elabed had been invited to stand in a photo line welcoming Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Alawieh appreciated the interaction, saying he “felt an openness from [Vice President] Harris, as well as a listening ear from Governor Walz.”
Alawieh stated, “I appreciate her leadership, and I know the uncommitted voters want to support her, uncommitted delegates want to support her, but our voters need to see her turn a new page on Gaza policy.”
Elabed, emotional when meeting Harris, explained, “I told her that I meet with my community members who are losing tens and hundreds of family members every day, and we need something from her that can guarantee that we can save their families’ lives.”
The leaders of the Uncommitted National Movement have requested that a representative of their campaign and a Palestinian pediatrician be given speaking slots at the Democratic Party’s National Convention in Chicago, beginning August 19. The campaign has secured 30 “uncommitted” delegates to the convention.
