As I have said before Israel was irrelevant to the election as neither candidate was going to act differently. It was only used as a weapon by conservatives to strip votes from Harris.
You mean it was a lay up for Harris she refused to capitalize on because she personally received too much money in bribes.
Or maybe she didn't have a simple black and white opinion on a very nuanced situation and recognized that pulling support for Israel would only lose the UD it's seat at the negotiating table.
Given multiple experts have stated Israel cannot continue it's genocide without us support, this is incorrect. The US holds all of the cards.
