    I keep hearing people say this but does anyone have a reason why they believe Harris will be tougher on Israel than Biden was? I haven’t seen any sort of indication that she will other than a few words in a speech, despite Biden having been very soft on Israel.

      The sad truth is that there are overriding geopolitical strategic interests behind the US support of Israel. The American executive power recognizes this, so military support is not going to go away as long as those interests are a concern.

      They may pay some lip service to the whole genocide thing, but this is ultimately realpolitik. Human lives do not matter when they are not American.
