Kamala Harris’ harsh criticism of Israel is turning out to have deadly results

 None of this will mean anything to those pro-Hamas sheep in the streets, shouting their inane chants, burning flags, and vandalizing our treasured monuments. TD

Harris told Netanyahu she would not be silent. Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran heard her loud and clear and just told her they will not be silent either.

  "Washington may not fully realize it yet, nor the presidential candidate herself, but Vice President Harris’ honeymoon effectively ended Saturday in the Golan Heights on a bloody soccer field. The Mideast is on the cusp of what might become its bloodiest war since Israel’s founding in 1948.

"Harris’ self-serving decision to pander to Gen Z and progressive votes on Thursday after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office is turning out to have deadly results.

"Harshly criticizing Israel as she did in front of Bibi at the White House might bag November votes – but they are also leading to body bags in Gaza and North Israel.

"Now, Israeli civilians are paying a heavy price for her words.

"In what could be described as a second Oct. 7, Hezbollah launched a rocket attack on a soccer field Saturday afternoon in the Golan Heights, killing 12 people, including children, and injuring 40.

"The attack struck the village of Majdal Shams. Home to a large Druze community – an Arab and Arabic-speaking ethnoreligious group. Many Druze are Israeli citizens and proudly serve in the IDF." . . .

Harris naively might have thought her ploy for votes in Michigan would lead to a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. But that ceasefire is not going to happen now and Harris, despite her team’s denials to the contrary, shoulders much of the burden of blame.

Our military leadership isn't 'woke'?

A word from Commander-In-Chief Harris:
Judicial Watch 
In 2022 we received hundreds of pages of records outlining CRT instruction at West Point that includes material on “whiteness,” a social science class on race, gender, and sexuality that focuses on queer theory, and a graphic titled “MODERN-DAY SLAVERY IN THE USA.”

"The Pentagon dedicates tens of millions of dollars annually to Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs throughout the armed forces and cadets at the nation’s military academies receive extensive training about racism, sexism, unconscious bias, and intersectionality.

"A year-long research project conducted by a special commission at a public university think tank has uncovered the unbelievable details behind a costly Department of Defense (DOD) initiative to root out so-called white privilege white supremacy in the military. The study, conducted by the Center for American Institutions at Arizona State University (ASU), began as a review of civic education in the military and uncovered a fervent woke movement throughout the nation’s armed forces. “Our research team did not expect to find Critical Race Theory so embedded and pervasive,” the center’s director, Donald T. Critchlow, an ASU American political history professor, writes in the introduction of a recently published report. He confirms that there is CRT and DEI training across the military from the Pentagon through the ranks. 

"It is important to note that the sole purpose of the U.S. armed forces is to defend the nation against external enemies, therefore the DOD’s mission is to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure the country’s security. The agency is the government’s largest with 3.4 million service members and civilians—in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard—stationed at 4,800 sites in over 160 countries. Under the Biden administration the DOD budget for DEI training has increased significantly from $68 million in fiscal year 2022 to $86.5 million in fiscal year 2023, the report states. The agency is requesting a whopping $114.7 million for fiscal year 2024, according to DOD figures obtained by ASU researchers. “Training is implemented by a vast DEI bureaucracy that extends from senior leaders at the Pentagon to the lowest ranks,” the report says, adding that the “U.S. military now has a well-developed, taxpayer-funded DEI bureaucracy dedicated to rooting out ‘white privilege’ and white supremacy, and that allows for (and sometimes teaches) the overt criticism of the United States, its founding, its founders, and its founding documents, alleging that they are all rooted in systemic racism.”. . .
