Vice President Kamala Harris said Thursday, after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that she supported Israel's right to defend itself, but was concerned about the humanitarian cost in Gaza.
Then she added: "The war in Gaza is not a binary issue."
That is a fundamental dividing line -- not just between the two parties and the two candidates; not just on the issue of Israel; but between the two major forces in our society, between Judeo-Christian ethics on one hand and moral relativism on the other.
Perhaps the overall conflict can be described as complex, a clash of "right versus right." That is not a bad way to approach it if you are trying to make peace. But the war in Gaza? A war launched by murderous terrorists and the Iranian regime?
I heard Kamala Harris speak just hours after revisiting the sites of the October 7 terror attack, where unspeakable evil was unleashed by Palestinian terrorists.
She refuses to distinguish between the side that targets civilians and the side that tries to save them; between the side that revels in cruelty and the side that embraces humanity; between the side starts a war and the side that fights to end it.
There is something more important here than an obvious attempt to pander to Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan, or to split the difference between the anti-Israel mobs and their antisemitic slogans and anti-American behavior.
What we see here is a would-be leader without a moral core. Kamala Harris would be a disaster for Israel and the U.S. This really is the most important election of our lifetimes.

This week's portion is the last of the month of Av -- also known as Menachem (Comforter) Av -- which begins in mourning and ends in celebration and anticipation of the New Year and the process of repentance and renewal.
In a similar vein, the portion features Moses offering the Israelites a choice between a blessing and a curse. They are masters of their own fates: if they obey God's commandments, they receive the blessings -- and vice versa.
The key commandment is to reject idol worship. There is said to be something magnetic about the practice of worshiping idols in the new land, such that it would be constant moral battle, both individually and collectively, in the land.
Nowadays, according to Jewish tradition, humanity has lost the urge for idol worship (and the antidote, which is divine prophecy) -- but there are several near substitutes, such as lust or excessive appetites for worldly pleasures.
We are wired for compulsive behaviors, bad habits, and even addictions. These ...
