Posting here because this is more about her than him.
I will come back to your 3rd line later.
In fact I think what she supported is morally far worse than what Trump has so far done, and equal to what he promises to do. Let's not forget that the Biden admin floated this exact plan - displacement to Egypt and other neigbours - and we got similar denials from those neighbours at that time too. Will Trump be more presuasive? Possibly. As I said, I believe in Trump's ability to do worse crimes to the Palestinian people than the Biden/Harris administration did.
Now, about the Biden -> Harris switch:
I believe in judging people by what they say and do, not by what I cannot know (their internal thoughts). She said she supported every thing the Biden admin did. She was specifically asked about Gaza multiple times, and explicitly opposed any of the steps (like a weapons freeze) that would signal a change in policy. In fact she explicitly supported a continuation of weapons supplied. We know what the Biden "tireless negotiations" with no leverage brought - nothing. We know from reporting within Israel that it is Trump's new envoy who strong-armed Bibi into this deal.
Now, you have said that she was constrained by her position as sitting VP. I personally feel that politeness and workplace awkwardness is not a good excuse for backing a genocide, but leaving that aside...
She lost in the first week of November. It is now the first week of February. She has had ample time, to reflect candidly on her time as a VP and a defeated candidate. She has even seen polling showing that 2020 Biden voters who didn't vote for her, were most turned-off by the admin's Palestine policy. Through all this time, and all this data, she has not indicated a single iota of difference - not something she should have urged as VP, and not something she would have done as president.
As I said, I believe in what people say and do. With her words, her actions, and her choice of surrogates and aides, I think it is clear what she would have done as president.
You're making way too much of her line on The View.
She was put on the spot and in campaign politics, it is normally the death nail to throw your boss under the bus. Maybe she should have created separation (and not just on Gaza, but on other Biden mistakes over his term) but she was never going to do that. After all, he backed her.
Regardless of what her thoughts are / were, there was no way she was ever going to do that. Im sure she would have had 30 advisers telling her exactly what to say and what not to say - maybe one of her issues.
And to suggest that just because she didn't throw him under the bus, it must mean her presidency would be exactly like Bidens is also quite daft.
Plus, during the time of the campaign, the Biden administration were trying to broker a ceasefire. She would be dumb to say or do anything that could have jeopardized that.
She echoed her thoughts on the conflict at every opportunity...

So, if as you say, you believe in what people say", why would you not believe Harris when she said she wanted the "
Palestinian people to realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination"
As per her DNC speech..

Or working towards a Two state solution?

Fact is, Harris didn't get the job. Trump did and he wants the US to "own Gaza". He wants US troops to move Palestinians out of their home, bulldoze it, build luxury homes (which i'm sure he will benefit financially from) and likely hand it to Israel.
Harris, as she said, and according to you, you like to "
believe in what people say" said she wanted a two state solution and self-determination for the Palestinians.
You keep rolling with Trump mate.
