Palestinian-American activist, legal scholar, and human rights attorney Noura Erakat joins Bad Faith in a must-listen episode on the strategic benefits limits of the law in stopping a genocide, how to leverage electoral power to end U.S. aid to Israel, and why she isn't voting for Kamala Harris. Noura also weighs in for the first time on why she declined to join the Green Party ticket as V.P. and makes the case for solidarity across the left -- even in the face of strategic disagreement.

0:00.0 | And I find it really offensive that the folks who are rallying hard for Harris are using that, |
0:09.1 | like they're belittling me. |
0:10.4 | This is not good for you either. You know, what their meaning is that and when I ask very clear like how does it get worse than watching humans burn alive attached to an IV more than once. How does it get worse than watching |
0:27.3 | parents weigh flesh in rice bags in order to have something equivalent to their child to bury. |
0:34.8 | How does it get worse than listening to a child stuck underground for 15 hours, |

1:03.2 | What I want to tell these audiences is number one, nothing that Donald Trump did that they find |
1:10.0 | horribly offensive that the Democrats not do. They didn't move the embassy back from Jerusalem. |
1:15.6 | That's exactly right. And the DNC platform, actually, it wasn't just Biden as a president or |

1:28.8 | My understanding is that Biden supported an embassy move for decades before. I mean,'s been as he was self-discrized |

1:38.9 | very clear that the US has always always talked out of both sides of its mouth. |
