Jewish leaders demand Harris issue strong denial to ‘libel’ Israel committing genocide in Gaza

The demands came as Harris responded  “what he’s talking about, it’s real” to a heckler who accused Israel of genociding Palestinians in Gaza.

Jewish leaders demanded in comments on social media and to the media that Vice President Kamala Harris issue a strong rejection of claims that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. 

The demands came as Harris responded  “what he’s talking about, it’s real” to a heckler, who interrupted her speech at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, to accuse Israel of genociding Palestinians in Gaza.

Ted Deutch, the CEO of the American Jewish Committee and a former Democratic congressman, in a post on X/Twitter called the genocide allegation “an outrageous and dangerous lie.”
