It wasn’t useful for Harris to call it a genocide, because it would have hurt her chances of getting elected. Even Bernie refers to it as a war, probably so he doesn’t get censored by the Senate.
Harris called for a ceasefire multiple times. Here’s a comment that said it best.
Despite your argument’s attempt to conflate the two, it was evident from examining the evidence that Harris wanted a ceasefire and would be better than Trump on this issue. To end the genocide we need a president who wants it to end before all the Palestinians are dead.
Saying you want a ceasefire while you keep arming and funding the side causing the violence is not better, it’s the same thing but with a layer of PR on top that gullible fools believe.
To end the genocide, you need a president that doesn’t support Israel.
When Joe Biden met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet during his visit to Israel, the U.S. president assured them: “I don’t believe you have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I am a Zionist.”

Biden wasn’t running for president. Harris was and as VP she doesn’t have the power to change the US’ relationship with anyone.
Harris was running on doing exactly the same as Biden on Palestine.
Unlike Biden, Harris was not a life long Zionist.
