During an appearance at Michigan Democratic Party event yesterday, 2024 Democratic nominee Kamala Harris claimed that Israeli Prime Minister "pulled" President Trump into war with Iran.
When Harris says that Bibi pulled Trump into war does she mean by puppet strings?
If she does, then Harris is promoting an anti-Semitic trope.
Let's keep in mind that it was Harris' campaign who in vetting Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate questioned his loyalty to this country on account of his Jewish faith.
Of course, Harris remarks concerning Iran were utterly incoherent. While accusing Netanyahu of pulling Trump into military actions, Harris also claimed Trump was using the war to distract the country from the Epstein files.
So, which is it? Are we at war with Iran because Trump is doing Bibi's bidding or because Trump is trying to distract us from the Epstein files?
Trump's actions in Iran certainly warrant criticism and I have given my share of it. But if Harris and Democrats insist on responding to Trump's demagoguery with demagoguery of their own, they will not inspire my confidence.
It is also difficult to take Harris' claims about Bibi seriously when we consider Trump's public admonition on Friday that Israel refrains from any military action against Lebanon even if fired upon by Hezbollah.
Yet it would appear that Harris is serious about another White House bid. If this is the case, Harris (and probably every other Democratic Party hopeful) is going to make Israel public enemy number one and, by extension, make it clear that America's Jewish community is not welcome in the Democratic fold unless they renounce Israel.
Unlike 2024, Kamala Harris will not have my vote however revolting Trump, Vance & company are. At this point, I do not trust anyone, Democrat or Republican. Those who do not have my trust are not entitled to my vote.
