Kamala Harris hinted on Wednesday that she might consider an arms embargo against Israel in a bid to court the so-called “Uncommitted” Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan.
According to The New York Times, Harris met briefly with Abbas Alawieh and Layla Elabed, co-founders of the Uncommitted National Movement, before her rally in Detroit.

This group, which has mobilized voters in Michigan to withhold support from Joe Biden due to his backing of Israel in the Gaza conflict, pressed Harris to support an arms embargo.
They claimed that many in Michigan have lost family members in the violence and want Harris to act to end it.

Harris reportedly listened to their concerns and showed a willingness to consider the embargo request. She introduced Alawieh and Elabed to her staff, signaling a potential shift in her stance.
During her speech later that day, Harris faced heckling from pro-Palestinian protesters who chanted, “Kamala, Kamala, you can’t hide. We won’t vote for genocide.”
Harris first tried to placate the protesters, calling their input a welcome part of “democracy,” but then admonished them, suggesting their actions could aid Trump’s campaign.

Harris's move to win over the anti-Israel faction within her party was also reflected in her choice of running mate.

I’m still waiting on Democrats to demand a weapons and financial embargo on terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and Yemen.
Where are the sanctions, blocking of ports, sanctions on banking, and everything else?
They act like Israel is the one and only cause of chaos in the Middle East. Allow me to remind everyone that it is the Arabs who have tried to wipe Israel off the face of the map ever since 1948.
And it is the UN that is supporting terrorism and that is now declaring Israel of genocide after it has been attacked by Hamas killing over 1,200 innocent Israelis. By percent of population the 1,200 plus Israelis murdered by Hamas is more than those murdered in the 9/11 and Pearl Harbor attacks–both by surprise attacks by our enemies.
SHAME ON BIDEN AND HARRIS , NOT STANDING WITH ISRAEL. ISRAEL IS OUR ALLY, BUT DEMOCRATS ARE SHOWING THE WORLD THEY HAVE NO INTEGRITY OR BACKBONE. THANK GOD WE HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY FROM PEOPLE LIKE BIDEN/HARRIS AND WALZ. JUST THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO AMERICA, OUR CHILDREN, IF DEMOCRATS COULD CHEAT AGAIN. NEVER EVER HARRIS /WALZ TO RUIN OUR COUNTRY. WE ARE NOT FOR COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM. OUR FORE/FATHERS WOULD NEVER FORGIVE US, IF ALL THEIR WORK WAS IN VAIN.TRUMP 2024……………….
The only cuts to Social Security and Medicare Trump favors is to illegal aliens, who aren’t eligible, and will bankrupt the programs for citizens.
Folks, she’s pandering to the Muslim voters. Kamala would never be allowed to implement an arms embargo against Israel. There are too many pro-Israel Congress Critters.
FAFO.
