Some more history on her support for Israel:

Supports Israel’s right-wing government and cozies up to AIPAC
Co-sponsored resolution against Obama in support of illegal settlements, does not support Palestinian rights
Calls BDS “anti-semitic”.
Another Anti-Palestine rant at AIPAC, 2.

Here's a couple quick discussions about Harris's current position on Gaza: https://time.com/7001874/kamala-harris-donald-trump-biden-gaza/ https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/harris-may-willing-criticize-netanyahu-biden-rcna162954

And yep, a little more checking about refusing to meet with Netanyahu does actually come back to what happened this week. I thought I had seen something about a actual refusal earlier this Spring but I can't find it again so that was probably a mis-read on my part.

The NBC one cites a random person from a think-tank, not her own words or actions. The article is forced to concede:

After Israel came under attack by a wave of Iranian drones and missiles in April, for example, Harris spoke of America’s “ironclad” support of Israel’s security. She said in a social media post that “we stand with the people of Israel in defense against these attacks.”
