Caroline Glick on the debate
Glick was incensed by Harris’ remarks on Israel during the debate:
ADDENDUM: Melanie Phillips writes about the media’s role in amplifying anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment:
The impression given by the British media for the past 11 months of this war has been that Israel is willfully killing huge numbers of Gaza’s women and children, recklessly bombing hospitals and schools full of displaced people, and preventing humanitarian aid from getting to civilians.
Those claims are the reverse of the truth. Yet a very senior military figure seems to have believed them because this media narrative is omnipresent. Even in newspapers whose editorial line is broadly sympathetic to Israel, the reporting is massively distorted by the promulgation of Hamas propaganda as news reports.
Kamala Harris’ remarks on Israel during the debate were in line with that sort of thing.
I think it started WELL before he seems to think it did, but this is a VERY interesting read:

Harris seemed to accept the Hamas propaganda about Israeli tactics and Gaza civilian deaths, and talked about a two-state solution. The events of the past year show how idiotic that idea is.
A Republican PAC is running ads showing Biden and Harris making statements in support of Israel. The ads are running in Dearborn, Michigan. Hah.

its not merely words, its the ethos of the policy people around here, see that greenfield link I put up a few days ago, if Al Queda had a candidate, well she would be in their corner, as it is with Hamas, they have extreme sympathies,
I was reading an old novel by the late Gordon Thomas, who i’ve referred to his work about the Middle East, Deadly poison was written just one year after the Gulf War, a few years before we heard the name Osama bin Laden, set a few years in the future the big bad is Khalid Raza, mentioned in the same breath as Abu Nidal and Carlos,
It took me a couple minutes Kate to understand what you were getting at. Then I did. That is funny.
Khalid Raza wants to use ‘deadly perfume’ a form of Anthrax to wage a war on Israel and the West, his m.o, is much like Hamas, complete with Koranic verses
in his program, in this world where terrorism has been waged on the US, ala what would happen just one year later, Israel has to tread carefully, with skeptical allies
like the US and UK, but never as venomous as Blinken or Lammy for instance
A bit off topic, but something Caroline Glick would certainly appreciate.

That the BBC is anti-Israel is hardly news.
Around 1980 I was in Netanya, Israel listening to the BBC. One of their anchors was indignant over have his company being recently condemned as anti-Israel in the Knesset. He went to list three Jewish sounding names who he said worked as reporters and could hardly be expected to be anti-Israel, whereas three reporters with non-Jewish sounding names were more objective. His co-anchor, who apparently recognized that he just proved the Knesset member right, become so flustered she could not utter a straight sentence for a few minutes.
I laughed my head off.
Better yet a British newspaper once headlined:
“Israel breaks truce after being shelled”
