“The work we (US) have done has resulted in Israeli actions that were very much prompted by and a result of US advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.”
This is completely the opposite of what she is supposed to say, she is saying that Israel is not uncontrollable, but is following US orders.
No way! The nation
- not leveraging their weapons assistance (unlike even Reagan in 1982)
- giving diplomatic cover (not only through vetoes in the Security Council, but through threats against others willing to boycott or sanction)
- undermining talks of a cease-fire (or they’re just the most incapable people ever to hold talks)
- actively bombing those opposing the aggression (e.g. Yemen)
- still peddling the debunked lies of the perpetrators (Biden’s 40 beheaded oven-babies much?)
- never having cared about international law, if it is not to use it against an enemy (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, Cambodia, and so so many more)
is actually content with what is done with said weapons? What a surprise!</s>
Tim Walz during the debate also let the mask slip: “The expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute fundamental necessity for the US to have the steady leadership there (…)”
the way Kamala talks reminds me of the bit from Nathan For You when he does a job interview but he’s getting fed answers from an 8 year old
her way of piling clauses on clauses on clauses when she speaks is like nails on a chalkboard.
It’s a master class in official style
Those comments feel Dredge-Tank worthy.
It speaks to the acting ability of Julia Louis Dreyfus that she could do a perfect Kamala impression a decade before she was VP.
worst run-on I have ever read
By the time she got to the end I forgot what she had said in the beginning. Either the interviewer is very smart or he doesn’t care how she answers.
When I read the quote typed up above it’s clear as day that what she’s saying here is objectionable, but when I listen to her say those words in her voice, I’ve lost track of the plot before she’s done. Given that the OP is correct that Kamala was not supposed to say this, I have to wonder if she lost track near the same point I did.
edit: Rewatching and changed my mind, the point where I get thrown off is when she awkwardly tacks on “or a result of many things including” before finishing the sentence, which is likely just realizing midway through that she wants to tone down crediting the US for what’s happening there. The actual quote is more tempered than what OP has transcribed, she caught where it was going to go right before she finished.
