Pro-Israel Kamala Harris pledges not to condition US aid to Israel on human rights
MEMO | August 27, 2020
Senator Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for vice president, has eased the concerns of pro-Israel Jewish donors to her party, by pledging not to condition aid to Israel on its human rights record if Joe Biden is elected President.
“Joe has made it clear he will not tie security assistance to any political decisions that Israel makes, and I couldn’t agree more,” Harris is reported saying in a virtual event held with Jewish donors by the Jerusalem Post.
“As vice president, Joe Biden helped ensure unwavering support for Israel’s security,” she continued. “During the Obama-Biden administration, he was a key advocate in securing support for life-saving technologies, which I have seen.”
Vowing to put Israel first, Harris added: “I pledge to you the Biden-Harris administration will sustain our unbreakable commitment to Israel’s security, including the unprecedented military and intelligence cooperation pioneered during the Obama-Biden administration and the guarantee that Israel will always maintain its qualitative military edge.”
The threat of conditioning aid to Israel was suggested by a number of Democrat lawmakers. In July the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders signed a letter calling for the $3.8 billion annual aid given to Israel to be made conditional on the Zionist state ending its violation of Palestinian human rights.

NATO rejects Russia’s ‘red line’
RT | January 26, 2022
NATO has said it “will not compromise” on potential expansion into Ukraine, Georgia, and other former Soviet republics, as this clashes with the “core principles” of the alliance, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters on Wednesday.
The alliance’s response, which Stoltenberg said all 30 members agreed upon, was delivered to Moscow earlier in the day by the US ambassador, alongside Washington’s separate written note.
The US has asked Russia to keep the contents of its response private. … continue

ANYONE who wants to be the President of the USA, MUST pledge absolute support for Israel, because the Israel Lobby holds ALL the power in USA Politics.
Anyone who refuses to support Israel 100% is ‘eliminated’, like Cynthia McKinney, who wouldn’t sign a Pledge of total support for Israel.
And, no one questions it, such is the Israel Lobby’s power in the USA…
Watching people like Biden, groveling at the feet of the Israel Lobby is nauseating….

Harris married a Jew in a traditional Jew ceremony which means she had to have converted. Harris is a Jew.

Noted. I learned earlier today that the Harris bi*ch’s husband is…drumroll…Jewish. I’d bet a retired paycheck that he is an active Zionist agent or at minimum a sayanim. Ahhhh, America: you’re toast, or a bagel. Ahhhh, America: Your Declaration of Independence has been rendered null and void “against our better judgment” (h/o to Alison Weir, reporter/journalist, author, driving force of IfAmericansKnew.org).
(Thanks for the above confirmation, Robert Browning…I read your comment after I wrote my text.)

Well that clinches the election for the Dems. If you were Sheldon Adelson and you were deciding who to hire as president, who would you rather get your blowjobs from, Donald Trump or Willie Brown’s girlfriend?
