    Saying it’s a turning point with no clear indication on where it should turn to is not an effective message from a political leader.

      “Everyone must seize this opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza, bring the hostages home, and end the suffering once and for all.”

      The rest of her statement. Which is in the article.

        Yes, but how? This isn’t anything Biden hasn’t been saying for the past year, and we’ve seen nothing but escalation after escalation with absolutely no consequences. There comes a point when these words become meaningless.

        As someone who read the article, she did say it’s a turning point with no clear indication on where it should turn to. I mean she said “we should end the war” but yeah how the fuck do you intend to do that? She says nothing other than “diplomacy”, which is a dog whistle for “allowing Israel to do whatever it wants”. I mean what the fuck is this?

        “I continue to believe diplomacy is the answer to bringing lasting stability across the Israel-Lebanon border and as vice president — and with your help as president — I will do everything in my power to achieve these goals,”

        Edit: On a closer look is it me or is she not mentioning Gaza in that proposed diplomacy of hers? She’s only bringing up the Israeli-Lebanon border. If I’m reading this right, this is very damning and more or less confirms she has no intention of actually doing anything about Gaza.
