Kamala Harris, the vice president and the prospect for the democratic presidential nomination, drew attention on Thursday after speaking with an anti-Israel rebel at a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee event with closed-door candidates. The activist, who accused Israel of murder, interrupted Harris’s speak to a group of individuals. The trade was captured on video and initially reported by Fox News while the function was closed to reporters.
Only The News information on the exchange during which the rebel, wearing a keffiyeh, challenged Harris on Israel’s activities in the ongoing issue. While the original opinion was not captured on the picture, Harris’s response was.
” I know what you’re speaking of. I want a cease-fire. I want the hostage-taking agreement to be completed. I want the war to end”, Harris responded.
” But what about the murder? What about the murder though”? the activist made an appearance.
Harris maintained calm, replying,” I value your right to speak, but I’m speaking best now”, as much of the crowd cheered. Before the rebel was removed, he continued, shouting,” How about the billions of dollars to Israel? What about the 19, 000 children dead, and you wo n’t call it a genocide”?
After the protester’s treatment, Harris addressed the place, apparently acknowledging his problems. ” Talk, what he’s talking about, it’s true. That’s not the issue that I came to explore today, but it’s true, and I esteem his tone”.
The change quickly garnered reaction, especially from David Friedman, past U. S. adviser to Israel during the Trump presidency. Friedman criticized Harris when she spoke to the New York Post, saying that” Kamala Harris only publicly supported the fabricated and cruel claim that Israel is engaging in genocide.”
Friedman went on to say,” Several, including myself, often suspected that she held this twisted, racist view of Israel’s self-defense against Hamas savagery. However, the kitten has then left the bag.
He added that her comments prevented her from running for office because she said,” Her opinion is as ignorant as it is malevolent,” adding: … Harris is disqualified from holding any public business, let alone the presidency, by giving cred cred formally to this vile body libel.
In response to the discussion, a spokeswoman for Harris’s plan merely responded that” That is not the perspective of the Biden-Harris Administration or the Vice President”.
