Brown university estimates that the US provided at least $17.9 billion in aid to Israel between October 7th, 2023 and October 2024 [1]. This was done under the Biden administration and his Congress, under “emergency aid” provisions after October 7th that were endorsed by both Republicans and Democrats. Biden, for his entire career, was a fanatical Zionist who endorsed Israel killing all of it’s enemies and likely would have preferred even more bombs going to Israel. Kamala Harris showed no deviation from the Biden policy of unconditional Israel support, despite being given several opportunities to do so on the campaign trail. People who prioritized Palestine were entirely justified in withholding their vote, or even rolling the dice on Trump, who was pretending to be the “peace President”. Even though Trump has betrayed all these promises, it was still a rational decision. There is no indication that Kamala Harris would be opposed to the starvation siege policy, bombing Yemen, or going to war with Iran any more than Trump.
