She had an opportunity for a Sister Souljah moment that would have shown that she does not listen to the radicals by picking Shapiro as her running mate. She did not take it.

She is also affiliated with an administration that has not just said things out of step with Israel, but has done out of step with Israel. The Biden Administration has withheld arms in certain circumstances and leaked Israeli military plans after demanding that Israel share such plans. When Israel responds to such leaking by acting without sharing such information in advance, Biden berates Israel for not being a team player.

I think it all pales in comparison to ending the American Republic as we know it. That is not justification for not being candid about what can be expected from Harris on Israel based on what he have seen from the administration she served in.

Update: Bernie Sanders is telling his followers that he will prevail over the Harris Administration to take a harder line towards Israel. It's not Harris or anyone in her campaign saying it, but she's not denying it either.

I'll say something further. If the JAG Corps were ti reach a consensus that Israel is taking insufficient measures to protect innocent bystanders from It's efforts against Hamas, I would support measures to rein in Israel in response. That is because unlike the left-wing activists, the JAG Corps weighs the consequences on both sides of the ledger.
