CHICAGO — A Kamala Harris administration will not cut or condition US security assistance to Israel, her former aide says during a panel on the sidelines of the Democratic National Convention.
Jewish Democratic Council of America CEO Halie Soifer, who previously served as Harris’s national security adviser in the Senate, notes that the Biden-Harris administration has approved more aid to Israel in the past six months — $15 billion — than any other administration ever.
Won't cut it because every politician needs those fat, fat AIPAC dollars, and won't condition it because they'd laugh in our face, do it anyway, and then we'd have to do something and we still want those fat, fat AIPAC dollars.
They literally couldn't do it without our assistance. They'd run out of bombs.
No, they wouldn't. They have their own resources and $310 billion dollars worth of our support over the years.
Plus, what they're doing now? That's bullets not bombs and bullets are cheap.
