Kamala Harris’ intentional lack of clarity on Israel raises major red flags

What does Kamala Harris believe?

Amid her many flip-flops an🍎d reversals, nowhere are the vice president’s opinions more con꧟voluted and confusing than on Israel. 

Harris insists Israel has a right to self-defense — but conꦅtinually complains that the Jewish state is doing it wrong. 

In July, she said she had pushed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a ce﷽ase-fire deal.

But in her limited August interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Harris said she’s “unequiv🐽ocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself.” 

“How it does so matters,” she added.

A new anti-Harris super PAC recently began running ads in Michigan, seeking to present Harris’ pro-Israel comments to a largely anti-Israel Arab-Americ💎an 🗹population. 

The Future Coalition PAC’s cheeky ads portray ✱Harris as exactly what she’s said she is: a supporter of Israel who stands up for its right to defend itself.

They also feature her husband Doug Emhof♚f, noting the historic importaꦗnce of the first Jewish presidential spouse. 

Critics exploded in indignation.

CNN the ads “antisemitic,” alleging they play “into antisemitic tropes that American Jews have dual loyalties to the US and Israel.”

But the spots do nothing of the sort.

They simply highlight Harris’ attempts to hav💛e it both ways on Israel’s war against Hamas, and her use of her husband’s identity to appeal to Jewish groups♏. 

As for tropes, Harris’ head of Arab-American outreach has previously accused “Zionists” of “controlling a lot” of American poli🦩tics.

So her campaig🥂n shoul൩d know a trope when they see one.

The Harris team immediately put up its own ads, microtargeting the very same Mi🅰chigan Zip codes as Future Coalition PAC, to on the suffering in Gaza. 

“What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is dev𒈔astating,” a somber Harris says i𓆏n one of the spots.

“We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering, and I 🐎will no🍰t be silent.”

Microtargeting of this kind — especial𝓡ly when trying to deliver vastly different messages to different groups — 🃏might have worked in the pre-Internet world. 

But now any mic🙈ro message can be easily shared across social media so an🔯yone can see it. 

It’s not that a presidential candidate can’t support Israel while also feeling sorry for the Gazans (at least those who aren’t Hamas oper𒁏atℱives). 

Bꦍut war is hell, and when a friendly democracy is battling for its very survival after a brutal terror attack, the correct response is to stand with our ally. 

Harris claims to do t🍃hat — while sending a very different message to voters in hea♔vily Arab Zip codes.

Worওse, she’s blaming Israel for the deaths of ♏innocents as it fights an enemy that strategically hides behind its own civilians. 

The high casualty rate is the point for Hamas, to get tender-hearted Westerners to pre🎀ssure Israel to back off. 

The str♛ategy appears to have succeeded with the Democratic presidential nominee. 

The Harris campaign’s disingenuousness 𝔍p🌊roves she’s no friend to Israel.

As with most of Harris’ posi♉tions, we can’t quite know where she really stands.

She opposed the border wall, she ♔supports the 💮border wall.

She opposed fracking, she supports fracking.

She wa☂nted to defund the police, now she doesn’t.

And so on. 

On top of that, in her🔯🐼 rare interviews, she never bothers to explain her ever-shifting beliefs; we find out second- or third-hand. 

For instance, ” in July that Harris no longer supports eliminating private health insurance, or a mandatory🍷 gun-buyback program. 

It would haཧve been nice to hear about these fundamental policy changes from the candidate herself.

For Is༒rael, these drifts between positions can mean life or death — and the unknow🐻ns presented by a President Harris could be catastrophic. 

This month, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) pushed the notion of placing new conditions on US aid to Israel, adding that the Harris “team has expressed openness to a𓄧 new direction.” 

The next day, as The Post reported, the hints grew stronger, as unnamed sources revealed that “in a break from [President] Biden, Harris and her top foreign policy adviser, Philip Gordon, are apparently now both open to imposing conditions💧 on military aid to Israel.”

The trouble with using a whisper network to communicateꦚ a presidential candidate’s critical stances ๊is that we don’t know what’s true.

Sources might be right.

Or they might be wrong. 

And the ambiguity is deliberate.

Ka🧜mala Harris’ political ambition has her talking out of both sides of her mouth.

Voters deser♒ve to know what she really believes — on Israel, and on everything else, too.
