Well that settles it, there is no "genocide" in Gaza. When asked by the Jerusalem Post whether the IDF was conducting a genocide in Gaza, a Harris campaign official responded "That is not the view of the Biden administration or the Vice President."
"The Harris campaign spoke up after an exchange between Harris, the Democratic Presidential contender, and a pro-Palestinian heckler wearing kaffiyeh at a weekend event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, one of the swing states in the 2024 race for the White House.
She had been in the middle of telling students, “I am so invested in y’all in every way, to make sure,” when the heckler interrupted her, stating, “And in genocide, right, billions of dollars in genocide.”
Harris shot back, “You know what? I respect your right to speak. I am speaking right now. I know what you are speaking of. I want the ceasefire, a hostage deal, and the war to end. I respect your right to speak, but I am speaking right now.
“You aren’t speaking about genocide,” the protestor said. “What about the genocide?” He continued to push her on genocide even as a security guard ushered him out of the room.
Harris then told the audience, “What he is talking about, it’s real. That is not the subject I came to discuss today, but it's real. And I respect his voice.”
Her campaign has since rejected claims that her words were intended to indicate agreement with the protestor's statements."
