Kamala Harris Should Not Have Snubbed Bibi | The Free Press

In normal times, Harris s snub of Bibi would be expected. Democrats still sting from Netanyahu s campaign in 2015 against former president Barack Obama s nuclear deal. When Netanyahu spoke before a joint session that year to make his case, many Democrats boycotted. Things have only gone downhill since then: Bibi s relationship with President Joe Biden has been strained in recent months; Senator Chuck Schumer blasted Bibi from the House floor in March; the Squad, along with lots of left-wing activists and many Arab American groups, have decried Israel s war in Gaza as a genocide.  

But Harris effectively won her party s nomination within 24 hours of Biden s announcement Sunday that he would not seek reelection. In other words: she does not need to please the anti-Israel base of her party in order to win a primary.

Instead, what Harris needs to do is spend the precious 100 days before the election defining herself before the nation. Simply sitting behind the rostrum as the leader of the Jewish state delivered a stirring address about how his country s enemies were also America s would have neutralized the Trump campaign s efforts to paint the vice president as a San Francisco socialist who is out of touch with everyday people.

Here I think the simplest explanation is best. Harris really doesn’t like Bibi or Israel. She’s more comfortable with the crazies burning flags, defacing monuments and cheering Hamas outside the Capitol.
