Yeah, earlier in her campaign, I was optimistic that she was just trying not to undermine Biden's foreign policy, and that she would eventually take an at least slightly more critical position on Israel. So far, though, she's seems entirely committed to Israel's escalating violence, and she won't even make the smallest gesture towards the Palestinian community. I didn't expect her to denounce Israel, but staying lock-step with Biden on this is looking like political suicide.
