Thank you, Qasim, for taking the necessary, humanitarian stance.
The responsibility which Pres Biden has is clear. What VP Harris might accomplish would be to take an ethical position within the context of the UN and international norms on human rights and on conduct of war. That public position would, most likely, not affect near term events. The Palestinians would continue to be the target of horrific violence by the Israeli government.
So, this terrible situation that the Palestinians are in must still be ended. As I mentioned elsewhere, many of us have been attempting to present solutions as least as far ago as 1967 when, as we can read in MERIP archival articles, "the 1967 Arab-Israeli war ... culminated in the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights, among other transformations of regional politics...."
Taking an ethical opinion is an imperative. Imperative to Palestinians and people everywhere is determining a path to durable peace, to Palestinian self-determination, to a reconstituting of regional relationships that support cooperation. A cease-fire, an immediate unhindered international aid effort, and an immediate international team to conduct a safe gathering of and return of hostages
are the least that the US should partnering with other nations to achieve.
An obstacle for decades has been a willingness on the part of most Americans to not hold accountable politicians who made a partisan issue for political gain out of the conflict and the human rights abuses and human suffering. Much of the American media joined the politicians, while lives among many peoples (Palestinians, Israelis, Lebanese,....) were being lost or ruined. It is these latter peoples throughout the region who most Americans failed to respect and failed to work to protect and support.
Thank you for your work in human rights and for your advocating ending this horror in Gaza.
