Rep. Bush: No Change in U.S. Policy on Israel Under Harris Administration
Rep. Cori Bush reflects on her resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, expressing disappointment in the lack of change under a potential Kamala Harris presidency. Despite tough language from President Biden towards Israel, the U.S. continues to send weapons and military aid to the region, perpetuating violence. Calls for a ceasefire have evolved into demands for an arms embargo as the conflict intensifies.
Shift in Rhetoric But No Action
A shift in rhetoric advocating for a ceasefire has occurred within the Biden administration, yet without tangible actions such as an arms embargo, the calls feel hollow. Activist groups are rallying around Senator Bernie Sanders’ resolution to block a substantial arms sale to Israel, criticizing U.S. military aid as fueling the ongoing violence.
Urgency for Change
Amid escalating conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon, Rep. Bush emphasizes the necessity for immediate action to end the violence. The growing movement pushing for an arms embargo signifies a generational shift in U.S. politics regarding Israel. Despite setbacks and opposition from groups like AIPAC, activists remain steadfast in their demand for change and accountability from the Biden administration.
