I have seen no material evidence to this effect.
That's not even an argument against Harris per say. But this insistence in a double-super secret pro-Palestinian insider movement insider her staff is delusional. Harris has been outspoken in her defense of "Israel's right to defend itself" time and time and time again. She's backed every effort to send more weapons of war to Netanyahu. She's defended the UN ambassador's decision to vote against sanctions for Israel or an end to hostilities or a future legitimized Palestinian state. She's directly fundraising from AIPAC. At this point, claiming she's a pro-Palestinian candidate is about as rational as claiming Trump is pro-Ukrainian.
There is a relatively broad national consensus. But we are devoid of a political class reflective of those views. Hell, two of the most outspoken pro-Palestinian advocates in the US House - Jamal Bowman and Cori Bush - got kicked out of their seats in primaries fueled by AIPAC lobbyists. Ilham Omar and Rashida Tlaib nearly lost their jobs in the same manner.
The internal institutions of the Democratic Party are openly in favor of the genocide of Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank, and of the people of Lebanon, and of Iran. If this shit keeps up, we could see the war spread to Jordan and Syria and Iraq as well. Certainly, there's no love lost by Americans for two of those states.
The political consensus is in favor of more killing, an escalation of the scope of the war, and free rein for the Israeli leadership in its mission to subjugate the surrounding territories. With continued US support, its very possible that the Israelis will get exactly what they desire, and we'll be looking at a permanent occupation and continuous holocaust of native peoples on a scale not seen since the genocide of First Nations people in the US.

If you're sitting on the October Surprise please share it. All the evidence we have suggests that Harris wants a ceasefire. While Trump wants a christo-fascist dictatorship and is content to watch Israel complete its genocide. The candidates have distinct positions despite your argument's attempt to conflate the two.
There you go bringing facts and rationality into a bOTh sIDes debate. Bold move.
Hey look more "fact and rationality":

But sure, she's "calling for a ceasefire". Are you really that guillible or just bad faithed?
I wonder what you would see in your search results if you searched for Harris call for ceasefire.
Less than 87 billion words.
Very much so. Most of the links in mine were about Kamala Harris calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Well maybe when she has one ceasefire call per dollar in bombs I will be impressed.
How many calls for ceasefire has Trump, the other person who might become president made? Who is ringing up to encourage Netanyahu to reject Biden's ceasefire plan? Oh yes. Trump. Trump, working for war in the middle east. Trump, who calls himself the best king of Israel. Trump, delighting in the genocide because he has a man crush on dictators and yearns to be one.

I don't think it's OK to put a geriatric genocidal insurrectionist imbecile in the Whitehouse.
I don't think it's okay to put any genocidal people into the whitehouse.
At this point she's decided she doesn't need my vote and she's not getting it. Come to terms with that.
We both know that Trump is the crazy genocidal guy that's ringing Netanyahu up telling him not to have a ceasefire, and Biden and Harris are the sensible ones calling publicly for a ceasefire and trying to convince Netanyahu to go for it. These things are public knowledge and you're in complete denial.
Not sure what you think I am in denial about. I am fully aware they are calling for ceasefire, but I also know they do this while sending more bombs and vetoing any UN action. So really if we are going to cast denial accusations it might start with you thinking Biden and Harris what even a sliver of this to stop.
Ah, yes, Harris and Biden publicly calling for a ceasefire and negotiating one whilst secretly plotting the destruction of Palestine! For the lols? To wind up the republicans? Because Bibi told Biden he was a great president and it went to his head and lost all rational thought? Oh, wait, no, it's Trump that does that
What secret plotting? They are giving them the weapons. If you believe dems when they say we need to stop shooting while they reload Israel's guns you're being played.
And trump would be better in your view?! That's delusional.
No, and I'm not voting for Trump.
