Well, folks, it seems our esteemed Vice President has once again found herself in a verbal pickle. While she’s quick to wax poetic about the plight of Palestinians, her tongue appears tied when it comes to Israeli children. Let’s find out what’s really going on behind the scenes.
The Deadly Contrast
Vice President Kamala Harris has been vocal about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, emphasizing the suffering of Palestinian civilians. However, her apparent silence on the recent Hezbollah strike that killed 12 Israeli children has raised eyebrows and drawn criticism from Republicans.
The attack by Hezbollah was the deadliest since Hamas’s October 7 terror spree, yet Harris has not personally commented on this tragedy. Instead, her response came through a statement by her national security adviser, leaving many questioning her priorities and diplomatic approach.
VP Harris’ pattern of behavior is clear for all to see, and Iran has to love the message she has sent just in the past few days—
☑️ skips PM Netanyahu’s joint address

Diplomatic Tightrope
Harris’s recent meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House highlighted her delicate balancing act. While affirming support for Israel, she simultaneously called for a ceasefire and a diplomatic solution to the conflict.
This statement, while addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, has sparked concern among some Israeli officials. They worry that her remarks could potentially complicate efforts to reach a hostage release deal with Hamas.
Controversy and Criticism
The Vice President’s announcement of resuming aid to Gaza without preconditions has ignited a fierce debate. Critics argue that this move could inadvertently benefit Hamas, while supporters believe it’s necessary to address the dire humanitarian situation.
After meeting with Netanyahu, Kamala Harris remarked, “We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering” of Palestinians, “and I will not be silent.”
Harris’s emphasis on Palestinian suffering, while reiterating Israel’s right to self-defense, has created a complex narrative. This approach has drawn both praise and criticism, reflecting the deeply divided opinions on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
The Bigger Picture
As the Biden administration works to assist U.S. hostages in Gaza, the situation in Northern Israel remains tense. The potential for increased conflict with Hezbollah looms large, adding another layer of complexity to an already volatile situation.
The contrasting reactions to Israeli and Palestinian tragedies highlight the challenges faced by U.S. diplomats in navigating this long-standing conflict. As the world watches, the question remains: Can a balanced approach be achieved, or will selective silence continue to shape the narrative?

Just a few days ago @VP @KamalaHarris said “I will not be silent” about “dead children” — referring to dead Palestinian children. Now Hezbollah has murdered 12 Israeli children, and Kamala Harris is silent.
Remember this.

Where is Kamala?
There are 12 dead Israeli children, we are a day later and SILENCE FROM @KamalaHarris!
Jewish-Americans, are you paying attention?
Is she hanging out with her Hezbollah-affiliated friends? pic.twitter.com/P2eHs82rEr— Ellie Cohanim (@EllieCohanim) July 28, 2024
Why does @KamalaHarris ignore the murder of 12 Druze children in a soccer field in Israel? What kind of politics is it and how come Jews still going to vote for her? https://t.co/dFGQVl2xec
