Will Kamala Harris’s remarks about ceasefire turn out to be lip service? Activists share their thoughts and fears.

Khalidi, however, cautions against the idea that Harris can much more easily win against Trump. He contends that, in order to win the election, Harris will have to break with “Biden’s unwavering support for Israel.” Khalidi also emphasized that no matter who is in office, the struggle in solidarity with Palestine will continue, as both parties have a long legacy of unconditional support for Israel.
Members of the National Students for Justice in Palestine steering committee expressed their doubt about Harris’s comments expressing concern for Gaza. “Harris’s ‘refusal to be silent’ is not a step forward,” explained an NSJP activist leader, who is a member of the steering committee that organizes across campus chapters nationally, and which played a key role in the encampment movement.
