    What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating. The images of dead children and desperate hungry people fleeing for safety, sometimes displaced for the second, third or fourth time. We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering. And I will not be silent. Let’s get the deal done, so we can get a ceasefire to end the war. Let’s bring the hostages home. And let’s provide much needed relief to the Palestinian people.

    This is what Kamala said shortly after a meeting with Netanyahu, which she said brought Israel and Hamas closer to a ceasefire than they’ve been before. This is what she is doing, while she is Biden’s vice president, relies on Biden’s campaign money, and still needs Biden’s political connections and endorsement. What’s she gonna say when she’s president and she doesn’t need to play nice with Biden anymore? I can’t wait to find out.

      Biden has also talked a lot about ending the war. Words arent actions.

        Right, how could I forget. As Vice President, Kamala has direct access to the big red “end the genocide” button.

        Name an action a vice president can take that isn’t just words.
