The split screen out of D.C. was a show of contrasts.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a powerful address to Congress praising the valor of Israel’s soldiers and hostages, calling for a ‘denazification’ of Gaza and full victory.

Vice President Kamala Harris, after skipping his address to go to a sorority event (alongside many Democrats who boycotted the speech), returned and demanded that Israel leave Gaza and make a ‘deal’ with Hamas to trade hostages in exchange for giving victory to the Islamic terrorist group.

And then there were the usual false accusations and Hamas propaganda about ‘hunger’ and civilian casualties.

It’s not hard to see who sounded more presidential.

Kamala’s remarks on Israel were meant to put her on the side of the Left (but was insufficient for a movement that was busy scrawling “Hamas is Coming” graffiti on national monuments, forcing her to condemn the act, but not the movement) while rejecting the idea of Israel winning the war.

It was also a preview of her potential administration by publicly laying out the terms for a ‘hostages for victory’ deal in an attempt to ‘jam’ Israel into accepting the terms put out by Hamas which would include a complete withdrawal in the second stage. None of this would impose much of anything on Hamas.

But, as I wrote in today’s article, ‘Kamala’s Anti-Israel Advisers Helped Bring On Oct 7’, this is who her foreign policy people are.

“The idea that terrorists attack because they hate freedom, however, is misguided,” Philip Gordon wrote in ‘Winning the Right War’. “Even most of the Muslims who support terrorism and trust Osama bin Laden favor elected government” and “personal liberty.”

Gordon, Obama’s future Middle East coordinator, explained in his book that Muslim terrorists weren’t “born evil” or “hate our freedoms”, but rather they feel “shame” over the state of “a once great Islamic civilization” surpassed by other cultures including “the local upstart, Israel.”

Gordon is currently Kamala’s national security advisor and her likely future secretary of state.

The split screen provided Israelis and Americans with a clear choice between Kamala and Netanyahu, between victory for Islamic terrorists and their defeat at the hands of their victims.
