Kamala And Walz Lack A Moral Compass?
According to former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, the current Democratic leadership is failing to address the complex realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Speaking on Newsmax, Friedman criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, suggesting they are ill-equipped to handle the delicate balance necessary for peace in the region.
Friedman, who served under President Donald Trump, expressed concern that the current administration’s approach to Israel is deeply flawed. He argued that both Harris and Walz lack an understanding of the strategic importance of Israel and are dangerously out of their depth. “It could be even worse,” Friedman said, emphasizing that the lack of nuanced comprehension from these Democratic figures could further deteriorate the already strained U.S.-Israel relationship. This issue traces back to the Obama era and has continued under President Biden’s administration, Friedman warned, with potential for even greater discord if Harris and Walz come into power.
Friedman accused Harris and Walz of placing undue trust in Gaza’s terrorist leadership while failing to support Israel’s right to exist as a peace-loving nation. He contended that in the Middle East, actions speak louder than words, and a clear moral stance is crucial. According to Friedman, if these leaders cannot unequivocally support Israel and condemn Hamas, they are lacking in moral clarity.
In his new book, “One Jewish State: The Last, Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict,” Friedman underscores the failures of the Palestinian state, which has led to persistent violence and instability. He points out that despite the significant aid from various sources, including the United States, Gaza has used funds to construct terror tunnels and weaponry rather than building a peaceful society.
Friedman argues that a two-state solution is no longer viable and proposes that Israel should assume responsibility for fostering peace and stability in Gaza. His views reflect a call for a reassessment of U.S. policy and a firmer stance in support of Israel’s role in the region.
