Any hope that Kamala Harris would condition or suspend arms and funding of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza was killed by her speech to the Democratic National Convention on Thursday.

Because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that the terrorist organisation Hamas caused on October 7. Including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival.”
