US Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein considering pro-Palestinian VP
US Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is considering choosing a pro-Palestinian running mate in the 2024 US presidential election, according to her campaign.
Stein’s campaign said their team was reviewing three Palestinian rights advocates, including two Arab Americans, to be her running mate in the upcoming election, Aljazeera reported on Saturday.
The three candidates being vetted for the spot are political activists Jacqueline Luqman and Amer Zahr, in addition to Abed Ayoub from the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
They are all vocal pro-Palestinian activists, critical of the Israeli regime and supporting community-level efforts to stop the US government from going all out defending Tel Aviv’s months-long genocidal war on the helpless Palestinian people trapped in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Two-time Green Party presidential candidate Stein is herself a longtime supporter of Palestinian rights actively pursuing a ceasefire in Gaza.
She has called for an investigation into the Israeli “war crimes” in Gaza and denounced US President Joe Biden and other political leaders in Washington for their role in decades-long atrocities against Palestinians.
“President Biden and bipartisan leaders are not only complicit, but they are full partners in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s crimes,” Stein said in a video posted on X.
“We call for an investigation of the Netanyahu regime’s war crimes as well as the role of Biden and US leaders in aiding and abetting them,” she added.
“The war crimes being perpetrated by Netanyahu against Palestinians… are in a league of their own and have reached genocidal proportions with Palestinians denied food, water and electricity while being relentlessly bombed as they are forced to flee from their homes, running for their lives.”
Meta, which owns and controls Instagram and Facebook social media platforms, canceled her accounts in November.
