American media: Lawmakers against the Gaza war avoid pressuring Harris
Some Democratic legislators, including Bernie Sanders, once again emphasized their position that the United States should cut off funding and arms to Tel Aviv, but refrained from pressuring Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s candidate in the 2024 presideial election, because His statemes regarding the coinuation of “support for Israel” were avoided.
According to Isna, one of the promine issues that has divided the Democratic Party is the releless crimes of the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip, which has been going on for more than 10 mohs. A war in which more than 40,000 Palestinians have been martyred and civilians throughout this strip are forced to move and change their place of residence in the ruins of the city every day.
The “Huffington Post” News site wrote in a report: “The administration of US Preside Joe Biden coinues to support and unconditionally send funds and weapons to the Israeli army, and the requests of the Muslim, Arab, American-Palestinian communities, as well as some Democrats, including Bernie It ignores Sanders (independe senator from Vermo) and Elizabeth Warren (senator from Massachusetts).
Although some of these people voted “non-committal” or “none of the candidates” in the primary elections of the Democratic Party as a sign of protest, they hope that Kamala Harris, the candidate of the Democratic Party in the 2024 presideial election, will stop the actions. Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the Zionist regime, will be easily convinced.
“I think my view on this is very differe from Preside Biden’s,” Bernie Sanders said on ABC’s “Disweek.” I think we should no longer give even a single ce to Netanyahu’s right-wing and extreme cabinet. “They have the right to defend themselves against Hamas attacks, but they do not have the right to coinue the war against all Palestinians.”
He added: “What is happening can lead to the starvation of thousands of children. US taxpayer dollars should not cause famine and hunger for children in Gaza. This is my opinion and others may disagree with me.
After Joe Biden, the curre preside of the United States, showed a weak performance in the first debate of the 2024 election in fro of the candidate of the Republican Party, Donald Trump, he withdrew from the election competition at the request of his party mates and sponsors and from his deputy, Kamala Harris. supported Ms. Harris officially received the party’s nomination at the Democratic National Conveion held in Chicago last week and is set to compete with her rival Trump in the November election.
Kamala Harris, who is from the Democratic Party and is expected to show a differe approach to the Gaza war and the crimes of the Zionist regime, but in a speech last week, she said: “I will always support Israel’s right to defend itself and always “I assure you that Israel has the ability to defend itself because the people of Israel should not experience the terrible experience of October 7th again.”

Senator Sanders then avoided a direct answer to a question about Harris’s commes, saying, “I hope Harris will conclude that the United States should cut off military aid to Israel unless there is a fundameal change in their policies toward the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank should be created.”
“With all due respect, I agree with the vice preside that we wa the strongest defense in the world, but I think that’s enough,” Sanders stressed. “You see the profits of military coractors going up, and I think we can have the strongest defense in the world without spending a trillion dollars a year.”
Referring to Harris’s speech, “Huffington Post” wrote in this report: “Although Kamala Harris meioned the suffering of the people of Gaza and coinued to hold Hamas responsible, she refused to attribute the curre plight of the Palestinians to Israel and only anonymously He gave a speech about this.”

Summer Lee, a Democratic represeative of the House of Represeatives from Pennsylvania, said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” program: “While we all know that an immediate and lasting ceasefire should be established, the Palestinians, like the Israelis, have the right to self-determination. We must do more than what we believe. “We need to actually take steps to show that we’re willing to listen to people who have been left out of the political conversation for a long time.”
“Look, I wa to be clear,” Elizabeth Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” American law says that we only give military aid to those who are in line with iernational law, but what Benjamin Netanyahu has done in creating a humanitarian disaster in Gaza raises questions about iernational law. “The United States needs to review its values every day.”
Both Sanders and Warren have focused their criticisms on the coinuation of US financial aid to the Israeli army, given that Netanyahu and his cabinet have been warned by human rights groups, the United Nations, the Iernational Court of Justice and the Iernational Criminal Court regarding the Gaza war. have received, Washington’s aid to Tel Aviv is “both excessive and illegal”.
