Today (July 25, 2024) there has been a lot of backlash against Kamala Harris for her statement regarding pro-Palestine protesters at the capital. I want everyone to read her actual statement:

She condemns violence and antisemitism. Nowhere does she defend Israel and Netanyahu's actions.

Harris was the first member of the Biden administration who called for a ceasefire, though she only requested a temporary one, in a March 2024 speech. While she has been harsh on antisemitism and states that Israel has a right to defend itself against Hamas, she has continuously expressed concern for citizens of Gaza and Palestine. She also did not attend Netanyahu's recent speech to Congress, though not as an explicit boycott, but due to previous commitments at the time. [Source]. She met with Netanyahu today (July 25, 2024) and says that she discussed "the importance of addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza," including an urgent ceasefire, with him. [Source].

The truth is that, while Harris is not a perfect advocate for a ceasefire, she does not condemn the violence harming innocent lives in Gaza. She also takes an important stand against antisemitism and a normal stance for an elected official against vandalism and burning the American flag.

However, anti-Harris sentiments are stirring up online for her supposedly pro-Israel views. One widespread alleged quote goes, "Our support for Israel will continue." There is seemingly no record of this remark. A quick Google reveals an MSN article titled: "Fact Check: Kamala Harris Said 'Our Support for Israel Will Continue'?" from their fact checking series. They deemed this quote to be false and unfounded.

So how does a fake quote like this stir up such a response? Where does it come from? There's no way to know for sure where this specific quote came from, but this is a perfect moment to remind liberals, especially those involved in online political spaces, of something called troll farms.

There are places where individuals work paying jobs impersonating average people, spouting political opinions, on both sides of the political spectrum, intending to turn political tides through misinformation and inflammation of issues. A study by MIT found that prior to the 2020 election, 140 million Americans were reached by troll farms on Facebook. Only 25% of those reached had followed these accounts. [Source].

Republicans and their allies want to sow disarray in the Democratic party prior to the 2024 presidential election. They know that many liberals are discontent with Biden's response to Israel's aggression, so they want us not to trust Harris, either. This motivates the twisting of words that has happened to Harris today and this week.

Don't fall for it.

Fact check before you repost. Fact check before you post. Use sources when posting your opinions.

It takes 20 minutes to find and read a nonbiased, reputable source, then cross-reference with another source. It takes maybe 5 more minutes to form your own opinion on a topic.

While it may line up with your political views, it may not be true. By sharing this misinformation today, many have unwittingly assisted Donald Trump in lying his way to reelection, while also working against a possible next president who is working towards a ceasefire in Gaza.

Today's widespread misinformation is incredibly disappointing. Start fact checking your sources or we are going to lose every battle we fight.

I literally cannot stress enough that there was a sewer man

No but seriously the United States desperately needs to have a discussion about segregation against the disabled in our school systems and we can start with how anti-masking and perfect attendance policies have forced medically vulnerable kids to either put themselves at grievous risk or pull out of school all together
