In reply to the discussion: Where are the Genocide Joe protest voters? [View all]FascismIsDeath
(135 posts)138. Actually she didn't storm out, but she did tell him off, to his face.
She wrote about it in her book "107 Days" and then we have her on camera after the meeting.

Harriss memoir, 107 Days, was released Tuesday in the United States. In it, she writes that Netanyahu brushed aside Bidens "loyalty to Israel, and preferred a president willing to agree to "very extreme proposals" he had for Gazas future. "He wanted Trump in the seat opposite him, she said.
Harris recounts a tense July 2024 meeting with Netanyahu, in which she confronted him over his denial of Gazas humanitarian crisis. His hooded gaze and disengaged demeanour made it clear to me that he was running out the clock, she writes, describing Israels military campaign as unproductive.

And then the part we actually witnessed right after:

Vice President Kamala Harris, in remarks Thursday after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said that while she held an unwavering commitment to Israel, she will not be silent about the humanitarian toll in Gaza.
I've said it many times, but it bears repeating: Israel has a right to defend itself and how it does so matters, Harris said. But, she said, she discussed with Netanyahu her serious concern about the scale of human suffering in Gaza, including the death of far too many innocent civilians.
In her remarks, Harris reiterated the deal proposed by Biden that would ultimately lead to a permanent end to the fighting, the release of all Israeli hostages by Hamas, and a complete Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. Earlier Thursday, John Kirby, the NSC spokesman, said gaps remain in the negotiations but we believe that they are of a nature that they can be closed.

There are other articles talking about how the whole thing pissed Netanyahu off. Regardless, despite misremembering the detail about the storming off, I believe I made my point.

That Democrats are corrupt, rig primaries, bribed and controlled by AIPAC is a constant conspiracy theory.

There are no "Genocide Joe protest voters" here. So no one will be "taking a bow". Glad to clear that up.

The obvious solution would have been to listen to the base - opposed to the Gaza policy by 80%

Plenty of excuse-making, though. The lack of outrage is directly proportional the the casualties.
