Jill Stein in an interview with CNN about her politics if she's to be a president of the US |
Apparently not so many know about the real character of Jill Stein and what's going on inside her head or what kind of policy would she adopt if she becomes a president of the US toward other countries in the middle east and most importantly toward Israel and since she announced many times that she's pro (BDS) a lot of people had the impression that she doesn't side with Israel's policies of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, land theft, houses demolishing, children targeting and killing. But after her interview on CNN, it would be very hard to understand how Palestinian supporters can still enthusiastically endorse Jill Stein. But of course they do so with the same nonchalance they did Bernie Sanders & by accepting the same discounts on Palestinian self-determination.
In the interview, Stein admitted she is a left Zionist who as a Jew feels "a special connection to Israel" & her entire discussion of Israel argues for its legitimacy as a nation-state rather than a colonizing power. How can someone who understands the political character of Israel feel a special connection to it?
More importantly, she said her campaign has been "very careful to avoid the pit fall of targeting Israel." Targeting Israel for what? Avoiding discussion of what? Israeli colonialism? Apartheid? Ethnic cleansing?
There are political principles involved in supporting Palestinians. Those who endorse a candidate willing to equivocate & put Israel on par with Palestine have lost their political bearings in deference to expedience. The pity is they do so for a candidate who has no chance of winning.

Jill's statement directly contradicts the inflammatory headline.
ReplyDeleteJill's statement is for human rights. Take it down, it "is" inflammatory and incorrect if you watch the video. #JillnotHill
ReplyDeleteYou do need to rectify concerning Stein's comments as they are exactly opposite of what you claim. You will understand if you watch the video. Admitting an error, and rectifying shows strength, not weakness. Be strong for the Palestinian struggle we embrace. We're fighting for principle, not personality.
