Former Amb. Michael Oren: VP’s Claim is a Very Dangerous Precedent

Former Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren on Sunday, October 20, called on the White House to state unequivocally that Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza after Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to agree with a heckler who accused Israel of genocide.

A pro-Hamas UWM student began yelling out at Harris while she was speaking, accusing her of investing “billions of dollars in genocide.” “I’m speaking right now,” Harris said before adding, “I know what you’re speaking of. I want the ceasefire. I want the war to end. And I respect your right to speak but I am speaking right now.”

“But what about the genocide? What about the genocide though?” yelled the protester, who was wearing a keffiyeh. He was then escorted out of the hall before Harris told the crowd the issue “was real.”

The incident occurred this past Thursday, during a campaign stop at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. During the same event, after Christian students proclaimed, “Jesus is Lord,” Harris said, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally,” and the attendees were escorted out.

Meanwhile, a nonprofit focused on serving Middle Eastern migrants that has received millions in US taxpayer funds plans to host multiple speakers who in the past have spoken positively of terrorist groups or activities at an upcoming “Arab health summit.”

The Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS) has received over $20 million in grant funding. Leaders of the nonprofit have invited two doctors from Europe who have previously praised terrorists, as well as the director of health for the Hamas-linked UNRWA and multiple anti-Israel activists, to speak at the event.
