"Uncomitted" demanding an arms embargo on Israel [View all]

"We welcome President Harris to Michigan and we hope that she hears Michigan's very clear request that we stop sending bombs to kill people we love," Alawieh said. "And I also want to be very clear that ... what the uncommitted national movement is saying is that if Vice President Harris embraces an arms embargo, we will drop everything we're doing and endorse Vice President Harris, and make sure that we proactively encourage the voters who have believed in this movement to vote for Vice President Harris, even through our pain."

While I would like to see an arms embargo for every country, I don't see this as likely to happen, especially with Israel. Thoughts?
