Goebbles wasn't the one who decided to invade France so his hands are clean, huh?

Despite your condescention, I do fully understand that the VP's formal powers don't involve setting foreign policy. I have never claimed this so it's purely a strawman. What I have said is that it's possible to predict, with reasonable confidence, what Harris is going to do, based on the actions of the administration she's a part of and based on her public statements. You think that all of her statements on the issue are lies, and that she's in stark disagreement with Biden on the issue but can't do anything about it because her role is extremely limited, which you're saying she also lies about, and all of it's based on nothing. Well, actually, it's quite clear what it's based on, it's based on what you want to be true, regardless of evidence or reason.

If you're desperate enough to play that card, to disavow Biden and claim that Kamala's role is extremely limited to only her formal duties, then I have to assume you're running out of room to retreat to. You're already playing the "not an American" card as well, which is always a sign that you can't respond to what I'm saying so you have nothing left but to undermine my credibility.

The "hands are tied" excuse is so thin at this point that I don't know how anyone can take is seriously, other than pure cope.

The only "card" I have played is that we can't know whether or not her Israel policy will differ from Biden's just because she isn't going against him right now.

You're the one here who seems to have some sort of crystal ball so you can know what is going to happen with certainty, not me.
