What Should Kamala Harris, the Law School Graduate, Know about the Law?

No state is above the law

“Free Palestine” is chasing Kamala Harris everywhere she goes. Palestine has become a symbol of pride and resistance not only to Palestinians but also to all free people around the world.

The US Vice President is being roasted on social media after she was seen clapping along to a protest song — before awkwardly realizing that they were protesting against her.

The Independent reports:

The Vice President visited Puerto Rico on Friday to highlight the Biden administration’s actions in supporting the island nation’s recovery and renewal efforts.

During the visit, she stopped by the Goyoco community center in the Santurce neighborhood of San Juan.

In video footage from her visit to the community centre, Ms Harris is seen gleefully clapping and smiling as Puerto Rican protesters banged on drums and sang in Spanish.

However, Ms Harris’ cheerful mood came to an abrupt end when her aide appeared to inform her what they were singing about.

“We want to know, Kamala, what did you come here for? We want to know what you think of the colony,” the protestors sang, adding: “Long live Free Palestine and Haiti, too.”

Ms Harris swiftly stopped clapping, lowered her hands and assumed a more serious facial expression as the song continued.

The vice president was roasted for her blunder on social media, with one X user calling her a “clown”.

“Harris may be the dumbest VP in the history of our country,” they added.

“She’s her own parody,” another person wrote.

“This is a new low, even for her. This is also quite an embarrassment and reflects poorly on America,” a third person wrote.

During her visit to San Juan, which was marred by protests, Ms Harris spoke to community leaders and center staff, according to Fox News.

Born in Oakland, California, Harris graduated from Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. She began her career in the office of the district attorney (DA) of Alameda County, before being recruited to the San Francisco DA’s Office and later the City Attorney of San Francisco’s office.

My message to Harris is that no country is above the law. The United States should not apply the law on one country and make another country above the law.

The Ukrainian territories taken by Russia, and Palestinian territories taken by Israel, are considered illegally occupied under the international law.

Therefore both Ukrainians and Palestinians have the right to use all means, including violence and military operations, to liberate their land.

Furthermore, 70% of the people of Gaza are refugees from the city of Ashkelon. In 1948, Israel drove them out of Ashkelon and replace them with Jewish settlers from Europe. The international law grants Gazans the right to fight back to return to their occupied land.
