Kamala Harris Encourages Student Who Accuses Israel
of ‘Ethnic Genocide’: Speak ‘Your Truth’

Vice President Kamala Harris ignited a controversy this week when she responded to a student’s anti-Israel comment by saying, “Your truth cannot be suppressed.”
The vice president’s comments came during a question-and-answer session with students at George Mason University. One of the students raised the issue of American funding for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, which has been credited with saving countless Israeli lives.
“A few days ago, there were funds allocated to continue backing Israel, which hurts my heart because it's ethnic genocide and displacement of people,” the student said, asserting that the money would be better spent on health care and affordable housing in the U.S.
“All this money ends up going to and funding Israel,” the student said.
Actually, it all comes back to America's Military Industrial Complex, which is why the USA has not abandoned Israel yet.
Harris then responded.
“This is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth cannot be suppressed. And it must be heard,” Harris said. “... A democracy is strongest when everyone participates. It is its weakest when anyone is left out. And that's not only about being physically present, but that your voice is present.”
David Friedman, who served as U.S. ambassador to Israel from 2017 through this year, criticized Harris.
“Shameful,” Friedman wrote. “... No one is entitled to their personal truth. This attack on Israel is simply a lie and VPOTUS should have called that out.”
Harris’ remarks led to her office conducting damage control, Politico reported, with staff contacting Democratic Majority for Israel. “We were pleased Vice President Harris’s senior staff reached out to us today to confirm what we already knew: Her ‘commitment to Israel’s security is unwavering,’” said Mark Mellman, the president of the organization.
In March, Harris tweeted that she and President Biden are “unwavering in our commitment to Israel’s security.”
She doesn't sound particularly unwavering but sounds like she agrees with the naive student. She could have easily corrected them with regard to genocide - a ridiculous notion!
It has long been my opinion that Armageddon cannot occur until the USA abandons Israel. I am quite convinced that this will happen in this decade and probably in the next 5 years. If Biden is removed from office for mental infirmity, the hapless Harris will become President then she will reveal her real colours, and the end will be near.
“Iran Supreme Leader’s rep. calls for destruction of Israel,”
by Benjamin Weinthal,
Jerusalem Post,
October 2, 2021:
The Islamic clerical firebrand declared, “The global arrogance led by America with complicity of Israel seeks to delay the realization of an important issue, which is the destruction of the Zionist regime.” Kian Meli, a news outlet opposed to the Islamic Republic of Iran, quoted his remarks. Three regime-controlled news organizations – Islamic Republic News Agency, Fars News and Tasnim – reported on his speech….
The Middle East Media Research Institute reported last year that Ayatollah Dezhkam said in a June sermon that aired on Fars TV, “America cannot be the main decision-maker when it comes to strategic matters in the world…. The sound of America being shattered and of its collapse is being heard all over the world. The shout of the Iranian nation [is] being heard from the mouths of the Americans themselves: ‘Death to America!’”
The audience responded by chanting “Death to America!”
