  • In front of an excitable crowd chanting “USA, USA, USA”, Harris deployed familiar language: “I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself. Because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organisation called Hamas caused on October 7, including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival.”

    The references to sexual violence and the festival massacre have long been deployed as a way to legitimise Israel’s war on the whole of Gaza, which has continued for nearly a year now.

    Meanwhile, Palestinians are raped in Israeli prisons, and Israeli politicians openly say this is justified. Harris, like most US leaders, had nothing to say about it.







  • Last week, the Israeli army unleashed a combat dog on Muhammed Bhar, a Palestinian man with Down’s Syndrome. Muhammed called out “habibi,” or “my dear,” as the dog bit into his arm and chest. Muhammed’s mother pleaded with the army that he was disabled and posed no threat, but to no avail. His family was then forced to stand by as he bled to death in the next room over. How could the Israeli military target a man so obviously innocent and defenseless he could barely utter a word in response?
