JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Vice President Kamala Harris spoke out sharply against Hamas in the wake of the brutal murder of US citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin just a short time before IDF soldiers reached him and five other hostages.

Describing Hamas as a “vicious terrorist organization,” Harris condemned its actions, highlighting the group’s responsibility for the massacre of 1,200 people, acts of sexual violence, the taking of hostages, and the recent murders of hostages. She called on the global community to join in denouncing Hamas’s “horrifying depravity.”
Yet while Harris can be lauded for placing the blame squarely on Hamas, (as opposed to the families of hostages and Israeli left who ludicrously blame Netanyahu for not making a horrendous deal with the terrorist organization), she cannot assuage the guilt of the Biden administration in the murder of Hersh and the other hostages.
Kamala demanded that Israel 🇮🇱 doesn’t enter Rafah, delaying the operation by many months 👇
Yesterday the body of the American 🇺🇲 hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin was found there, together with bodies of five additional hostages.

It was Kamala herself just five months ago who insisted that Israel should not be allowed to enter Rafah and falsely claimed that there was “nowhere to go” for the 1.2 million refugees trapped in the city. The upshot was that the Israeli military operation was delayed by over four months, allowing Hamas to regroup and preventing a swift operation which could have led to the hostages in the region much faster.
As for the civilians in Rafah, an incredibly small percentage – less than 50 – were killed in the fierce fighting in the area between four Hamas battalions and the IDF.
Miraculously, a place has been found for the civilians, despite Kamala claiming that there was ‘no place on the map” for them. After a three-month operation, the IDF has conquered Rafah – at a significant cost – and is now scouring the tunnels for terrorists and hostages- far later than anticipated. For many of the hostages, it may be too late, as Hamas,which clearly has no intention of making a deal, has ordered that if the IDF gets close to them, the captors should murder them and flee.
Kamamamalala didn’t know what she was talking then and don’t know what exactly she’s talking now, she only tries to repeat what her mentors tel her . She probably giggled when she was outraged about hostages…
The Philadelphi Corridor is essential for the continued vigilance Israel has to have in Gaza. Regarding the absence of a deal, even after Israel agreed to release hundreds of murderers who are potential Sinwars, the savages of Hamas found some other excuse not to go forward. When will it finally penetrate that Hamas doesn’t want a deal and is just manipulating Israel and laughing at the Americans for being suckers?
Add to her list of flip flops
She and Biden have the blood of the hostages on their hands, the Biden/Harris admin waived sanction giving Iran access to billions of dollars to fund hamas and others, Biden/Hartis admin sent the palis millions of dollars to fund pay to salt which pays the families of those who took part in Oct 7 and were later eliminated by Israel, Biden/Harris essentially funds both ends.
Sorry Jared. Explain to me how a deal would’ve helped reduce deaths. 6 hostages died, which is horrible and heartbreaking. A ceasefire deal which would release 20 live(?) hostages, and leave the other estimated 30 to die.
Should we abandon 30 to save 6?
In addition, the concessions that Israel would give for a deal would, by most estimates, endanger many more lives.
There are obviously some hard ethical questions here, which we need to turn to the Torah to guide us through.
I cannot understand how any self respecting Jew can support her, she has proven time and time again she does not like Israel or Jews!! This is almost akin to Jews in the 30’s support the third reich !
the bottom line is that bibi decided not to enter rafa he must take responsibility
Kamala Harris, together with most of the Biden administration, has been very consistent: Israel has the right to defend itself and will be supported to do so -as long as they do no damage and no one is hurt. I say “most of the Biden administration” because the rest feel that the expressed policy is too liberal towards Israel.
