You stop Cornel West by voting for Harris. Period. Yes, the Israelis are completely out of control and the Netanyahu does not care about what Biden thinks. The admin is not cutting off all aid for two reasons: One -- They consider Israel a geopolitical ally and a check on Iran. BUT as to the election, I stand by what I wrote. I don't like it but it is a reality that support for Israel in the US is broad and deep and is not based on specific policies but on a general sympathy. that dates back to the Holocaust. Stopping aid to Israel would please about 30% of democrats and outrage the other 70%. Those number are a guess but an educated one. Not all problems have immediate solutions. This one has been a long haul and will continue to be. Harris will not cold turkey stop all aid to Israel. BTW there is also that thing called the congress that allocates funding. If Harris makes a move on Israel it will lkely be some strong diplomatic push and not an arms embargo. Do I like that? No. Is that the best of actually existing alternatives? Yes. It's us to stop the war. Id rather trying to do so under a Harris admin rather than get confronted by troops under Trump.
I understand why Biden doesn't stop all military aid to Israel. He wants to win the election. Harris might lose MI, though, with it's large Arab population. If she wins, she has to end all military aid to Israel. It's the only way to end this Israeli terrorism. When I read that Israel was stopping humanitarian aid to Gaza and children were dying of malnutrition I wanted to throw up. I don't know what it is like to live in Israel, a nation under constant threat, but what Israel has become under Netanyahu is totally unacceptable in a world community. I disagree with you that Israel no longer provides safety to all Jews; where else in the world can a jewish person go if there is another Holocaust? There is no other place. As an aside, how do we stop Cornel West from running for Prez? Will he be a spoiler like Nader was?
