CAIR: Israel is an early, volatile test for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign – Politico

Confronting Netanyahu, they urge, is key to reclaiming the support of Democrats who in battleground states like Michigan voted for “uncommitted” in the primary over President Joe Biden in protest of his Israel policy.

“If she wants to avoid his fate, she has to come up with a different policy, especially when it comes to the issue of Gaza,” said Nihad Awad, director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has blasted the U.S. for supporting Israel’s counterattack against Hamas. “Young people, voters in the swing states who voted against Joe Biden, expect a different policy, not in tone, but in a concrete shift towards a humanitarian approach recognizing the dignity of the Palestinian people.”
