During the question-and-answer period, Harris supported a student who accused Israel of committing \u201cethnic genocide,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/american-politics\/vp-harris-to-student-who-accused-israel-of-genocide-your-truth-must-be-heard-680603\">The Jerusalem Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou brought up how the power of the people and demonstrations and organizing is very valuable in America,\u201d the student began. \u201cBut I see that over the summer there have been protests and demonstrations in astronomical numbers standing with Palestine. But then just a few days ago, there were funds allocated to continue backing Israel, which hurts my heart because it\u2019s ethnic genocide and displacement of people, the same that happened in America, and I\u2019m sure you\u2019re aware of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The student, who identified herself as part-Yemeni, part-Iranian, suggested that the U.S. should expand publicly-funded healthcare and the welfare state rather than funding Israel\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans are struggling because of lack of public health care, affordable housing, and all this money goes to funding Israel and backing Saudi Arabia and whatnot and I think that the people have spoken very often in what they do need, and I feel like there is a lack of listening,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd I just feel like I need to bring this up with you because it affects my life and people I really care about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris responded to the girl saying she was \u201cglad\u201d the student spoke up. \u201cThis is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth cannot be suppressed, and it must be heard,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA democracy is its strongest when everyone participates. It is its weakest when anyone is left out,\u201d Harris continued. \u201cThat\u2019s not only about being physically present but that your voice is present.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal should be unity, but not uniformity,\u201d the vice president said. \u201cUnity should never be at the expense of telling any one person, \u2018For the sake of unity, oh you be quiet about that thing. You suppress that thing. Let\u2019s not deal with that thing.\u2019 That\u2019s not unity. True unity is everyone in that room has a voice. And then we see where that ends up in terms of a healthy debate on the issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the United States\u2019 foreign policy in the Middle East, Harris told the student, \u201cwe still have healthy debates in our country about what is the right path, and nobody\u2019s voice should be suppressed on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tensions between the U.S. and Israel under the Biden administration have grown more strained as President Joe Biden has sought to reestablish an Obama-era nuclear agreement with Iran. Israeli leaders have broadly criticized the move, asserting that the deal would not stop Iran from building a nuclear bomb.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/israeli-pm-naftali-bennett-warns-world-that-imminent-action-coming-against-iranian-nuclear-program\">suggested<\/a> that Israel was readying to take action against Iran on Monday over Tehran\u2019s nuclear ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIran\u2019s nuclear weapon program is at a critical point. All red lines have been crossed. Inspections \u2014 ignored. All wishful thinking \u2014 proven false,\u201d he said. \u201cIran is currently violating the IAEA\u2019s safeguard agreements \u2014 and it\u2019s getting away with it. They harass inspectors and sabotage their investigations \u2014 and they\u2019re getting away with it. They enrich Uranium to the level of 60 percent, which is only one step short of weapons-grade material \u2014 and they\u2019re getting away with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvidence which clearly proves Iran\u2019s intentions for nuclear weapons in secret sites in Turquzabad, Teheran &amp; Marivan \u2014 is ignored,\u201d he continued. \u201cIran\u2019s nuclear program has hit a watershed moment. And so has our tolerance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
