CHICAGO — A Kamala Harris administration will not cut or condition US security assistance to Israel, her former aide says during a panel on the sidelines of the Democratic National Convention.

Jewish Democratic Council of America CEO Halie Soifer, who previously served as Harris’s national security adviser in the Senate, notes that the Biden-Harris administration has approved more aid to Israel in the past six months — $15 billion — than any other administration ever.

Alright, fair enough, point taken. You pretty much hit the nail on the head here:

I'm sorry, I understand that you are trying to explain why people don't like this criticism and that you agree with me broadly. It also seems you don't think it's bad to talk about this. But then I don't really see what your point is?

My point is, when I see people bring up this rhetoric, it's more often than not brought up by discarding all context and simply using it as a cudgel to build up Trump by bashing his competitor. I take issue with this for reasons that are hopefully obvious. Since it's become clear that you are able to read and parse information that is presented to you, you're not really the target audience for my retort.

But I absolutely will not stand for the crowd that's out bellowing about "Kamala bad! Kamala bad because Israel! Both sides bad! Don't vote! Both sides bad!" because they are rabble-rousing fools and represent a clear and present danger to the American people.
