“What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating. The images of dead children and desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety, sometimes displaced for the second, third or fourth time,” Harris said. “We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering. And I will not be silent.”

As much as this is as of yet simple lip service, I hope this indicates an intent to deviate from Biden's deep-throated support of Netanyahu and (now ICJ-validated) Apartheid Israel.

It's a major rhetorical shift for sure and Biden would certainly never have done this. I want to see a lot more progress so hopefully they get the attention they need from this feeler to take some next steps.

This is my hope as well. As a mostly independent voter, she's gonna have to do more to convince the Greens, PSLs, and Liberals that she won't renege on things she's signaled have her support and what will be challenged.
