The protesters criticized Harris for her support of Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza, accusing her of complicity in what they called a genocide. Harris responded with composure, expressing heartbreak over the situation and urging the audience to keep calm. She acknowledged her limited power as she is not president and emphasized that she had made her position clear within the administration.In her book, Harris expressed frustration with some pro-Palestinian activists who threatened to withhold their votes due to the administration&#8217;s handling of the Gaza conflict. She also distanced herself from president Joe Biden&#8217;s response, describing it as inadequate and forced, and revealed that she urged Biden to show empathy toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/idf-claims-hamas-has-operations-base-under-shifa-hospital-in-gaza-city\/\" title=\"IDF alleges Hamas operates from ...

Additionally, Harris criticized former President Donald Trump&#8217;s approach, accusing him of giving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unrestricted support. The event highlighted Harris&#8217;s attempt to address the war in gaza amid public outcry and political tensions. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Gaza protesters interrupt first stop of Harris&rsquo;s book tour<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2238271\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted former Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kamala Harris&rsquo;s<\/a> book event on Wednesday night, forcing her to confront the war in Gaza at the first stop of her book tour.<\/p>\n<p>Harris&rsquo;s memoir, <em>107 Days<\/em>, was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/politics\/3818381\/kamala-harris-releases-memoir-explaining-107-day-presidential-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">released on Wednesday<\/a> and details her sprint to the White House after former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joe Biden<\/a> dropped out of the 2024 race.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3824471\/new-jersey-gubernatorial-race-new-poll-mikie-sherrill-jack-ciattarelli-tied\/\">New Jersey gubernatorial race down to wire as new poll shows Sherrill and Ciattarelli tied<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\/3824342\/starbucks-shutter-stores-1-billion-dollar-restructuring-plan\/\">Starbucks to shutter stores in $1 billion restructuring plan<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3824435\/trump-set-to-achieve-operational-control-of-border-in-2026\/\">Trump set to achieve &lsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >operational control&#038;rsquo<\/a>; of border in 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;What&rsquo;s happening to the Palestinian people is outrageous, and it breaks my heart,&rdquo; she said at the New York City <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3777286\/kamala-harris-book-tour-upcoming-memoir-107-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">book tour<\/a> event after protesters yelled from the audience. &ldquo;I get it.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@the_concert_tie_guy\/video\/7553802191992048951\" data-video-id=\"7553802191992048951\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@the_concert_tie_guy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@the_concert_tie_guy?refer=embed\">@the_concert_tie_guy<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Kamala Harris handled the protestors and herself with such decorum and respect.
