Zvika Klein is a well-respected Israeli journalist of long-standing; he’s now the editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Post. Klein been looking into the Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, and is deeply troubled by what he’s discovered. He believes that if she were to become President, it would be a “disaster for Israel and the Jewish people.” More on his qualms about the energetic glad-hander from San Francisco can be found here: “Editor’s Notes: Harris as president could be a disaster for Israel and the Jewish people,” by Zvika Klein, Jerusalem Post, August 8, 2024:
The story begins on a tense summer afternoon on Wednesday in Detroit, where Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, was making a campaign stop. The atmosphere was charged as she arrived at an airport hangar, where she was met not only by her supporters but also by the founders of the Uncommitted National Movement, Abbas Alawieh and Layla Elabed.
This extreme group had been mobilizing Arab American voters in Michigan to withhold their support for President Joe Biden due to his stance on Israel and Gaza. During this brief encounter, a tearful Elabed pleaded with Harris to consider an arms embargo on Israel, citing the devastating impact of Israeli military actions on her community in Gaza. Harris, attempting to show empathy and maintain political balance, assured the group that her campaign would continue to engage with their concerns. This ambiguous response left room for interpretation, leading to a media frenzy and heated debates about her proper stance on the issue.
Harris’s willingness to entertain an arms embargo, as suggested during her Detroit meeting, is not an isolated incident. Over the years, her actions and statements have consistently raised alarms about her commitment to Israel. In February 2019, when Rep. Ilhan Omar used antisemitic tropes by suggesting that American support for Israel was “all about the Benjamins” and accusing American Jews of having “allegiance to a foreign country,” Harris’s response was disturbingly tepid. Instead of unequivocally condemning Omar’s statements, Harris expressed concern that the criticism might endanger Omar, thus failing to denounce the antisemitic rhetoric within her party firmly.
Harris’s support for the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) is another contentious point. In 2015, she supported the agreement, which many critics argue empowers Iran, a significant threat to Israel. Rejoining the JCPOA aligns Harris with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, which has increasingly taken a hostile stance toward Israel. This alignment is deeply troubling for those who believe that the deal does not sufficiently prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
“In stark contrast, while Donald Trump is unpredictable and controversial, his track record regarding Israel was consistently strong: he facilitated the Abraham Accords, acknowledged the Golan Heights as part of Israel, and moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. His actions have strengthened Israel’s position and security in the region.
Harris, by contrast, could be a disaster for Israel and the Jewish people. This is a pivotal moment in history, and the choice made at the ballot box will resonate far beyond American borders….
Harris’ not refusing outright the idea of an arms embargo on Israel, her support for the Iran deal that has provided Tehran with billions to spend on its nuclear program, her close ties to the anti-Israel “progressives” in the Democratic Party — that is, the Squad — whose members are adamantly anti-Israel, her call for a Palestinian state, her unwillingness to come to Israel’s defense when the Jewish state was described at one of her political gatherings as committing “ethnic genocide,” are all cause for alarm. Her choice of Tim Walz as her running mate, when he has befriended such malevolent people as imam Asad Zaman, who refuses to condemn the October 7 attack, and has praised a movie favorable to Hitler, is worrisome, Walz even provided $100,000 in taxpayer money to the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, which is run by Asad Zaman. None of this disturbing stuff apparently fazed Kamala Harris, who happily chose Walz as her running mate.
If anyone thinks that Kamala Harris will be “good for the Jews” and not bad for Israel because “her husband is Jewish,” Zvika Klein’s piece ought to make that person think again.

The hyena is a *disaster* for everyone…Israel and America.. And she’s no help to others.
Wellington says
Agreed, somehistory. Harris is an empty vessel full of terrible ideas. Arguably even more than Biden, that dismal man, she would be the ultimate example so far in history of a monumental nothing with enormous power. And why I consider anyone who will actually vote for her to be themselves severely compromised as a human being—no exceptions.
If Trump does not prevail then not only America and not only what is left of the West are in big trouble, all the world is. But the detritus of mankind, which includes Russia under Putin, China under Xi, the Islamic world of course, et al. will be delighted. A given.
somehistory says
Thank you, Wellington. I would hate to be her, or even a little like her. Evil and stupid seem to go together.

Wellington says,
“…she would be the ultimate example so far in history of a monumental nothing with enormous power.”
Yes.
And even more dangerous than Sleepy Joe.
John Smith says
I like the name Hyena Somehistory, it certainly is the most fitting for her. And as you say, she won’t just be a disaster for Israel and the Jewish people, she will be a disaster for the entire world.
somehistory says
Thank you much, John. I see drivers going way too fast, cutting in front of others on the road, changing lanes; and I think they are an accident going somewhere to happen.
This disaster is happening all over, and so many seem happy to have it that way.
Tony Rice says
Quite right.

She, and her alleged boss, are already a disaster for everyone you mentioned
Walter Sieruk says
No informed person should have no doubt at all , not even a little bit that if Kamala Harris would become the next US President , “Would be a disaster for Israel and the Jewish people.”
All anyone has to do to understand this is to look who she has as her political associates that make up the Red/Green alliance They are the people who are the terribly violent and brutal Marxists members of Antifa and BLM . Both of those dangerous organizations that are closely linked to that vicious and murderous jihad entity, Hamas.
Walter Sieruk says
That godless Communist Kamala Harris with her “Red/Green alliance” is all for and very supportive of having arms embargo against the State of Israel , which would lessen the capacity of military of Israel to protect the lives and safety the people who are her citizens from those malicious and murderous jihad terror entity as Hamas from Gaza and Hezbollah from Lebanon.
It should be remembered that VP Harris didn’t have any objections ,all all , when Joe Biden strived as hard as he could to have sanctions lifted from that hostile Islamic regime of Iran , so that it could obtain much money , which it ,no doubt, used to funds to support Hamas and Hezbollah and supply those jihad organizations death infecting weapons .
If , “by hook or by crook” Kamala Harris does become the next United States President, it would the US , Israel and all the civilized nations of the world.
Walter Sieruk says
Kamala Harris with her anti-Israel policies doesn’t stop with her wanting an arms embargo against the State of Israel Even before this she supported the horrible idea that that Joe Biden is pushing for ,a so called “two –state solution,” which taking everything into account is really no “solution, “ at all.
Even that leftist US President t Franklin D. Roosevelt with all liberal socialist ideology still had more common sense and understanding than Kamas Harris ,with comrades of the Red/Green alliance, for Biden is still striving to obtain that folly of an idea of a “two state solution.” Which in reality is no solution but a recipe for disaster. The reason why this is so is because a “Palestine state” that would be, no doubt, controlled by wicked jihad-minded Muslims with all their Islamic intolerance would only be a set up for a catastrophe in the Middle East.
As President Roosevelt, had so very wisely declared, “No compromise can end that conflict. There never has been—there never can be—successful compromise between good and evil. Only total victory can reward the champions of tolerance, and decency, and freedom, and faith.”
Walter Sieruk says
Those in power in that Islamic tyranny of Iran will do everything they are able to interfere in the process on the 2224 national election in order to have that Jewish hating pro-Islamic radical far -left, wing Marxist Kamala Harris ,who is part of the Reed/Green alliance, in the White House as President.
For if those Muslim dictators of Iran would have Kamala Harris as the next US President, that would ensure that they would have a friend in the Oval Office of the White House granting them everything that they demand.
Looking all this from the view of those despots of Iran. It’s like in the insidious sense, they would think “Why shouldn’t we meddle in the US general election, again, ? We did before in 2020 and it worked [1] ,we got our useful idiot Joe Biden , in the White House who conceded to all our demand. For our cunning stealth jihad strategy worked for us so then , we should do it again.”
The sly and effective influence by those in power in the hostile America hating Islamic tyrannical regime on the 2024 US Presidential election should not be underestimated.

A disaster for Israel: no shit Sherlock and no self respecting Jew should vote for her. It’s called self preservation,duh.

I’d like to see how much of the Jewish – and Hindu – vote Kamala loses this November
John Pepple says
And yet I know Jews who would never support Trump. One of them, a retired professor of French, admitted that it’s dangerous for Jews in France these days, without seeming to understand why. Sigh.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Even if they don’t wanna support Trump, I’d be fine if they either sit out the election, or vote for RFK or one of the other candidates – Libertarian, Constitutional Party or anyone else

If you’re Jewish I don’t see how you can vote for Kamala.
If you love America you can’t vote for Kamala.
Tony Rice says
Harris is too much ” in bed ” with Obama, and that ain’t good news, except for Iran. If she wins, expect Obama to come to the fore.
