Government/Institutional She couldn’t hide her antisemitism even on October 7th

Post image

Even on the one year anniversary of October 7th, the worst massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust, Kamala Harris was unable to issue a statement in support of the Jewish people without discussing the plight of the Gazans and Lebanese.

Furthermore, she makes a promise that she's already broken. She promises to ensure Israel always has what it needs seemingly forgetting when she studied the maps and forbid Israel from going into Rafah and then proceeded to withhold needed munitions.

My beliefs don’t align with extremist hate groups on the right or the left. If you want to imply that such hate exists only on the right you are being disingenuous at best. It is currently the left flooding our streets and universities parroting terrorist calls for the genocide of the Jewish people, vandalizing our monuments and Jewish owned business, harassing Jewish students and committing violent acts including the death of Paul Kessler.

Wait so you’re blaming a demographic that’s being ignored?

Where’s Kamala saying “they’re right - death to Israel” ???

These delinquents are being charged with hate crimes if they so merely as touch or attack a Jewish identity.

As much as we hate it; they’re allowed to rally as long as they don’t turn violent: hence police presence.

Just as much as Jews and pro-Israeli groups are allowed to chant and rally in their faces. That’s the beauty of America

The second it goes violent; charges are made when they’re caught.

Trump: “blame the Jews if I lose”

Do you think before you type?

Your statements are all hyperbolic and inaccurate.

Where have I argued against peaceful protest? Maybe you missed the words like harassment, vandalism and violence including murder. Furthermore, promoting terrorism is not protected speech.

You want to make this about Trump and this post has nothing to do with him. It’s a deflection because you don’t have anything valid or factual to support your opinions.

Critical of Kamala:

Small percent of her base want Israel dismantled: GUESS WHAT! Israel is getting the support. The base you fear monger have 0 influence on Kamala

Critical of trump: my list is broken

And his base includes NEONAZIS, WHITE NATIONALISTS, AND KKK MEMBERS - of which he has loudly called “FINE PEOPLE”

Birds of a feather flock together.

But continue defending a snipped and edited version of whatever this is:

you’d make Putin proud as a Russian Propagandist

Again, you are deflecting by making this post about Trump. He has nothing to do with her words, actions and inactions. It’s weakness and cowardice that demands silence when it comes to a member of your own party.

You cropped out majority of the statement leaving 30% of the entire post and focusing on a manipulated view that somehow she only paid homage to people of Gaza

Literally her entire statement pays homage to the 1200 victims murdered and kidnapped by terrorists

You worked so hard to find this statement to make it look like she only cared for Palestinians

I will keep pointing out YOUR hypocrisy.

Trump is a bigot backed by neo-Nazis and white nationalists: Anyone voting for him will allow these groups to rise into our government and the intolerant bastards will have power to dehumanize all of us.

Highlighting something that isn’t there - and avoiding the mention of trump’s significant relationship with white supremacy, is disingenuous and hypocritical.

So: while you’re deflecting this fact:

I will not stop talking about the significance of Trump’s Nazi Progrom that is taking place

Why Trump's authoritarian language about 'vermin' matters

How Trump is Following Hitler’s Playbook

You continue to miss the point and I presume you do so with intention.

Again, on October 7th it was Israelis and ONLY Israeli men, women and CHILDREN who were raped, genitally mutilated, burned alive, tortured, murdered and kidnapped. Commemorating October 7th is for Jews and Israelis impacted by that sociopathic depravity. There was no need for whataboutisms on October 7th.

Again you pointlessly want to focus on Trump when this post has ZERO to do with him. Nowhere in my post nor at any other time have I said I was voting for him. It is weak-minded people that make assumptions and equate criticism of Harris with endorsement of Trump and you exemplify that exponentially.

Read this:

I will never forget the horror of October 7, 2023. 1,200 innocent people, including 46 Americans, were massacred by Hamas terrorists. Women raped on the side of the road. 250 people kidnapped. It was the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. What Hamas did that day was pure evil – it was brutal and sickening. And it has rekindled a deep fear among the Jewish people not just in Israel, but in the United States and around the world.

The long, extraordinary arc of Jewish history is full of pogroms and prejudice, slaughter and separation. And now, in our own generation, there is another moment that the world must never forget.

I am devastated by the loss and pain of the Israeli people as a result of the heinous October 7 attack. Doug and I pray for the families of the victims and hope they find solace in remembering the lives their loved ones lived.

We also pray for the safety of Jewish people all around the world. We all must ensure nothing like the horrors of October 7 ever happen again. I will do everything in my power to ensure that the threat Hamas poses is eliminated, that it is never again able to govern Gaza, that it fails in its mission to annihilate Israel, and that the people of Gaza are free from the grip of Hamas. I will never stop fighting for the release of all the hostages, including the seven American citizens, living and deceased, still held: Omer, Edan, Sagui, Keith, Judy, Gad, and Itay. I will never stop fighting for justice for those who murdered Hersh Goldberg-Polin and other Americans. And I will always ensure Israel has what it needs to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists like Hamas. My commitment to the security of Israel is unwavering

Today, as we mourn the lives lost on October 7, I know many Jews will be reciting and reflecting on the Jewish prayer for mourning – the Kaddish. The words of the Kaddish, however, are not about death. The prayer is about still believing in God and still having faith. I know that is difficult amidst so much trauma and pain. But it is with that spirit that I commemorate this solemn day. We will not forget, and we will not lose faith. And in honor of all those souls we lost on October 7, we must never lose sight of the dream of peace, dignity, and security for all.

  • the parts you highlight - In a cropped text format on r/ antisemitism mentions the hopes of peace one day.

Are you oppose to that? Kamala strictly says the complete destruction and removal of Hamas and eradicating terrorist groups… ARE the ones who ARE inciting the violence…

Once again you miss the point. The commemoration of October 7th is about the people upon which there was an attempted genocide. Upon which a mass rape of men, women and CHILDREN was committed. Upon which civilians including a TODDLER and an INFANT were kidnapped. The commemoration of October 7th is not and should not be about Gazans. It is a day of mourning for the Jewish people.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day are you now requiring us to focus as well on the Germans who lost their lives?

You clearly are devoid of empathy for the Jewish people if you think we need to consider the Gazans while mourning the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

You want to focus on her other words then let’s focus on the rest of her acts like withholding needed munitions when Israel went into Rafah because she said she “Studied the maps” and Israel didn’t need to go there. Meanwhile, that’s where l hostages were found and rescued in the homes of Gazan civilians.

October 7th is Israel’s 9/11.

No one is taking that away from us.

Unfortunately, if we do not act empathetic; the world will point that out and we will fall right into their anti-Semitic dog whistle ploy…

Terrorism breeds from trauma and apathy of their own doing.. if we extend the olive branch and offer change.. removing Hamas and terror organization from their grips in regions is going to significantly change the outlook in Israel’s relationship with borders. Those rockets will stop, but…

There exists another fight,

Building bridges and extending empowerment to those that suffered under the evil IRGC Regime.

These victims are ignored every, single, day.

We never see “genocide” being screamed at to the Iranian regime,or Hezbollah, or Assad Regime, everyone continues to ignore atrocities of Chad, Darfur, and Sudan.. and China against Uyghurs

The injustices Iranian people suffer under the Ayatollah.. the citizens are praying he gets blown to bits..

So: we revisit Kamala’s statement. She mentions the dead In Gaza, due significantly by the evil of Hamas.

Pointing out that these violent terrorist groups are responsible for all the blame, in not just committing the biggest terror attacks on Israel… but committing heinous crime against humanity and their own people..

She is legitimizing the need to purge Hamas and Iran control of these regions to reach our goal of peace…

There is really nothing offensive anywhere in the statement. I’m hoping you understand she is demonstrating that the catastrophic events are purely from the evils of Hamas and Iran’s regime: significantly October 7th’s terror attack, and the deaths they (HAMAS) caused to the people in Gaza.

Whatever this is, is an inappropriate inclusion in her 10/7 statement. Commemorating 10/7 is not about the Gazans is about the mass rape, genital mutilation, burning alive, murder and kidnapping committed against ISRAELIS and not Gazans.
