“To those people who are saying, ‘Well, I can’t support Harris because she disagrees [with] Trump on that issue’ … he will be closer to Netanyahu,” Sanders said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Sanders said he thinks Vice President Harris can be moved “on that issue” of the Israel-Hamas war.

Harris has called for a cease-fire deal and pushed for the war in Gaza to end, but she faces scrutiny from both sides — from people who want to see Hamas defeated and those who call for the end of the war in Gaza.

“So, if we are able to elect Harris, I think we’re going to have an opportunity to move her on that issue, to make it clear, we cannot allow children in Gaza to starve to death,” Sanders said. “She will be open to that. I doubt that Trump will.”

He is right. Trump will do whatever the evangelical hard right want, which in the case of the Middle East is to pump as much support, weapons, and money into Israel, purely so they can trigger Armageddon and try to fulfill their wet dreams of Supply-Side Jesus coming down off his cloud. Also doesn't help that trump is a flagrant racist who would be happy to see more 'brown-skinned' people die.

Good on Sanders. It feels like he always has to be dragged kicking and screaming to support the party (and likely would be even more influential if he just played the game) but he is a voice that people might listen to.

That said: It is important to remember that the majority of the "No, I want support genocide LA LA LA LA LA LA LA" crowd either listen to or are tankies that are, at best, useful idiots for putin et al. They don't care about Palestine and they sure as hell don't care about anyone else that trump et al will genocide if elected.

Trump is not going to support peace. He will go all in on full genocide or apartheid.

That's the thing, tankies don't care about Palestine, in fact I'd bet a good chunk of their numbers are IDF counterintel psyops.

It's clear after a year of listening to tankies that they want gazans wiped off the face of the earth 🤷

Tankies are the libest libs of them all lmao
