College paper on the Palestinians could put a fork in Kamala Harris, hopefully

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris desperately needs to win Pennsylvania, but doing so with Gov. Josh Shapiro as her veep seems increasingly problematic.

Shapiro could deliver the Keystone State's valuable electoral votes, but it could come at a high cost in Michigan, where the potential candidacy has one big and insurmountable problem: He's Jewish.

The governor's Jew was already not sitting well with the rabidly anti-Semitic elements of the Democratic base, but a newly discovered college essay may be the deal-killer that could stick a fork in his candidacy.

“Palestinians will not live together peacefully,” because they “don't have the ability to establish their own land and succeed even with the help of Israel and the United States,” he wrote in his decades-old column for the University of Rochester. student paper the Campus Times that was unearthed by the Philadelphia Inquirer.

So, apparently, when Josh Shapiro wasn't writing racist anti-Palestinian guidebooks in his college days, he was volunteering for the IDF.

“They have too much of a battle mentality to be able to establish a homeland of their own in peace,” said Shapiro, who also identified himself as a “former Israeli army volunteer” and called the Arab world “belligerent.”

The college-age Shapiro's old comments ignited a firestorm among Hamas sympathizers who have already dubbed him “Genocide Josh” in a smear over his support for Israel.

“Since writing this piece as a 20-year-old student, Governor Shapiro has built close, meaningful and informative relationships with many Muslim, Arab American, Palestinian Christian and Jewish community leaders across Pennsylvania,” Shapiro said. Manuel Bonder said in a statement to Fox News Digital defending his boss.

“The governor greatly values ​​his perspectives and the experiences he's learned from over the years, and as a result, as with many issues, his views on the Middle East have evolved into the position he holds today.” Bonder added.

Harris has been pressured by progressives to reject Shapiro, with 50 prog leaders writing a letter saying that despite being the popular governor of a battleground state, he has “deficiencies as a national candidate,” with the tacit part that it doesn't t meet with the approval of the Jew-haters who now call the Democratic Party home.

House Democrat Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) shared an article about the letter and told it like it is.

These progressives don't want a Jew. Let's say it out loud. Imagine if moderate Democrats said they didn't want a certain minority. The convictions would be deafening. Now, however, we hear a lot of silence. https://t.co/rjQ0Yv5tej

“It is in the best interest of Harris and Democrats … to ensure that both his new VP pick and his platform support the majority of Democrats and Americans who want social and economic justice for workers and an immediate ceasefire in Palestine,” says the website of a left-wing group that garnered support for its “No Genocide Josh” campaign.

Now that Joe Biden's pathetic candidacy has been written off by Barack Obama and the party elite, the election is now on the line according to the media, but Harris will have to win in the handful of Dem-held states that the Electoral The university will go down to.

It's your choice, Pennsylvania or Michigan.
