After the protester was escorted away, Harris addressed the audience and seemed to lend credence to his claim about Israel.

TWO WEEKS OUT, THE STATE OF THE RACE

"Listen, what he’s talking about, it’s real," she said. "That’s not the subject that I came to discuss today, but it’s real, and I respect his voice."

The vice president has never previously accused Israel of genocide during the Israel-Hamas war. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.

Harris has previously appeared to agree with students who accused the Jewish state of genocide.

In 2021, Harris nodded while a student accused Israel of ethnic genocide and then responded by saying the student's "truth should not be suppressed." 

The student, at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, had raised questions about the money the U.S. is providing Israel and Saudi Arabia and accused the Jewish State of genocide.
