There is a timing for everything and Kamala Harris specifically picked this particular location to launch her verbal assault on Israel. The location is the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, often used by Democrats to wrap themselves in the ‘bloody sheet’ and stage attacks on Republicans.
There’s nothing coincidental about it.
Sometimes politicians have to upstage a pre-scheduled event to react to some breaking crisis, but that’s not the case here. There was no urgent story that Kamala was commenting on that required upstaging the Edmund Pettus Bridge commemoration. But much like Hamas supporters have sabotaged every event and made it about them, Kamala decided to take a black civil rights event and make it about Arab Muslim terrorists in Gaza.
In a very calculated opening, Kamala claimed that “before I begin today, I must address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.”
She ranted that “the Israeli government must do more to significantly increase the flow of aid… No excuses. They must open new border crossings. They must not impose any unnecessary restrictions on the delivery of aid.”
The rant was followed by some formal remarks about Israel having a right to defend itself against Hamas, and the threat of Hamas having to be eliminated, which was quickly contradicted by a call for “an immediate ceasefire — for at least the next six weeks”.
Some who have not been paying close attention may be surprised by this, but Kamala has been the highest-ranking opponent of Israel in the administration since Oct 7. She’s undoubtedly been pushing to be able to do this kind of thing for some time. “Let me loose, boss.” And as Biden increased pressure on Israel, he did.
Kamala gets to score some points with the Left. And considering her boss faces the real risk of losing the White House, potentially ending her career, she’s thinking about the future, and maneuvering to break away while blaming his defeat on failing to ‘get right’ with the Left. This will be one of those issues.
A functional president wouldn’t let his Veep pull this nonsense, but Biden isn’t all that functional.
Using Selma as a stage for bashing Israel is despicable, but that is who Kamala is. This was the woman who tried to accuse her future boss of keeping her in chains for opposing busing. Like the scorpion and the frog, Biden and everyone else knew who and what Kamala was before they brought her on board.

Well…with Israel deciding not to send a representative to Cairo for prisoner swap talks after Hamas issued a partial response, it would seem that Israeli leaders weren’t swayed in ANY way by Kamala’s self-indulgent diatribe. An Israeli diplomat stated, “It was decided not to compromise on the insane demands.”
Each time Kamala opens her mouth, I think “Joe’s a bitter old fart with dementia. What’s your excuse for being ignorant?”
And is it any wonder that many African-Americans are turning to Trump? First, illegals became the administration’s top priority. Then, as if to intentionally add insult to injury at the civil right’s capital of Selma, decides to talk about Muslims terrorists and their sympathizers first.

The excuse administration calls for no excuses. I wonder what their excuse is for not calling on hamas to cease-fire and surrender immediately? Nobody in the msm will ask them.
Hamas’ military situation is undeniably hopeless. All they can do is run up the body count, mostly on their side, and prolong the suffering of their human shields. Yet nobody is calling on them to surrender. At this point, all US and UN aid is doing is killing more Gazans.
Yusuf says
Kamela blood libel Harris, demagogue.
Kevin says
Harris is likely trying to put the pressure on Israel to allow Hamas new life so Biden can brag what a peacemaker he is at Thursday’s speech.
These people are that petty.
Noah Andeark says
I expect that her Jewish hubby will be in charge of collecting property from condemned Jews, just like George Soros did during WWII.
To honor Jojo’s mentor FDR, Jojo plans to put Americans into concentration camps and will send some Jews to Germany to be exterminated (they’re gearing up now).
Jojo knows he needs to EARN those muslim votes, and he’s willing to do it by any means necessary.
Alex Bensky says
During WWII the Germans engaged in mostly submarine warfare to block vital supplies going to Britain and knock her out of the war. Adm. Doenitz was convicted of certain war crime for certain policies but no one claimed the strategy was a war crime. It was a war and you try to block supplies to your enemy.
The US employed the same strategy in the Pacific and between submarines and aircraft we had pretty much cut off Japan from needed supplies. This would have knocked the Japanese out of the war if their leadership had been at all rational. Again, I’ve yet to read anything claiming that this was a war crime.
But here, when it comes to dealing with people who attacked in astonishingly savage ways and say they’ll do it again and again, somehow blocking supplies to get them to quit is a war crime and the Israelis must aid and succor those whose stated aim is to kill them.
As is pretty much the case on the left and to some extent on the right, their principles always have the implied proviso, “Except for Jews.”
Daniel Greenfield says
sieges are a basic element of war
Israel began with a siege after Oct 7 and the Biden admin forced it to stop
since then no matter how many aid trucks Israel allows through, it’s never enough
once you let the enemy set the terms for the war, it never ends
Kasandra says
Harris is vile. What is keeping humanitarian aid from getting to “civilians” in Gaza is principally Hamas (which steals aid for itself and sells anything left to Gazans at grossly inflated prices) and, besides that, disruption to orderly distribution of aid by Gazan “civilians” themselves. It is not Israel’s fault. But, of course, instead she blames Israel and follows the Biden Administration policy playbook of making no demands on Hamas.
Daniel Greenfield says
indeed, Islamic terrorists create the famines and then profit, politically and from the sales of supplies
Algorithmic Analyst says
Good point, I read often about sieges, and quite often there is deliberate hoarding of food, which is then sold at exorbitant prices.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, I’ve read about that too. The hoarders were often killed in gruesome fashion. What a crying shame.
Jeff Bargholz says
As if the fat ass Gazans need aid to loll about in bloated bliss.
Rip N Read says
I’m glad Camel-la is soiling herself. This can only help.
Google: “New York Jews now favor Trump over President Joe Biden 53 per cent to 44 per cent.”
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, reportedly a majority of NYC Jews are now Mega MAGA patriots. I guess three years of Bidenshit was enough to get their heads out of their asses.
It didn’t even take me three seconds but I’m not a D-Bag fanatic.
Jeff Bargholz says
As if Heels Up Harris is even remotely black.
