In June 2016, Jill Stein called on the United States to end its support for Israel and Saudi Arabia, accusing the countries of war crimes and human rights abuses:
- "With regard to Israel, the United States has encouraged the worst tendencies of the Israeli government as it pursues policies of occupation, apartheid, assassination, illegal settlements, demolitions, blockades, building of nuclear bombs, indefinite detention, collective punishment, and defiance of international law.
- "Instead of allying with the courageous proponents of peace and human rights within Palestine and Israel, our government has rewarded consistent abusers of human rights.
- "In addition, the Stein campaign supports actions of nonviolent resistance to the policies of the occupation and of the Israeli apartheid regime, including those of the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, which was endorsed by the Green Party of the United States in 2005 and is supported by thousands of civil society peace activists and organisations.[2]

It's in Our Hands!
"We are being battered by unemployment, inequality, poverty, injustice, endless war, impending climate catastrophe, and a broken, corrupt political system.
"There are solutions for all these problems, but they're being blocked by political parties that serve the corporate elite, not the people.
"We need a new way forward that puts people, planet and peace over profit.
"My campaign is dedicated to empowering the American people to make real the promise of democracy, and set our own course toward a brighter future.
"If not now, when? For our families, our communities, and our Earth, let's come together to create the better America we know is possible. It’s in Our Hands!"
The political system really sucks right now
Hillary Clinton isn't the only woman running for President — meet Jill Stein of the Green Party.[3]

Finkelstein is clear: "It’s time to put a stop to this periodic charade, because it ends up besmirching the victims of the Nazi holocaust, diverting from the real suffering of the Palestinian people, and poisoning relations between the Jewish and Muslim communities. You just had an antisemitism hysteria last year, and it was a farce. And now again? Another inquiry? Another investigation? No." |
