Harris, despite being part of the Biden administration, was seen by some as being more sympathetic to the pro-Palestinian cause and made a forceful case for a cease-fire deal after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netantyahu.

“We all came to a consensus that it’s not going to make a difference, that [Harris] represents this administration,” said Hatem Abudayyeh, chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. “We’re going to stay full steam ahead.”

Harris may also face sporadic protests inside the arena where she will make her televised acceptance speech on Thursday. About 30 delegates who represent the “uncommitted” vote in the primary which activists used as a means of protesting Biden’s policies on Israel will attend.

    Biden is the only reason israel is still able to commit Genocode. They would have ran out of weapons and defenses against Hezbollah and Iran long ago without the Biden admin.

      No, 76 years worth of US support totalling $310 billion dollars is why Israel is able to commit Genocide and other atrocities.

      Biden’s donation to the cause is just the most recent and miniscule.

        ‘i was just following orders’ didn’t fly 75 years ago and it’s not going to fly for the president of the USA.

        Biden is the one approving the bombs being shipped. Biden gets the blame.

        I don’t care if he got paid $1000 billion to sell his soul. Are people absolved of their crimes if they get paid to commit them?

          It’s not orders. Israel has had $300 billion dollars worth of aid and weapons over the last 75 years. They don’t need Biden.
