Letter: Manufactured

Published 12:15 am Thursday, October 31, 2024

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is the anti-genocide, anti-war, pro-worker candidate in the 2024 election. A vote for either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump is vote for Israel’s horrific genocide of Palestinians in Gaza to continue.

Harris stated that Israel has a right to defend itself, and she will provide all the weapons it needs. Israel is not defending itself when it bombs hospitals, schools and homes, starves civilians by blocking humanitarian aid trucks and kills journalists, doctors and children. Israel’s genocide is manufactured in America, therefore the Biden administration and the U.S. Congress are guilty of genocide.

Harris is repeating the lie that the conflict began on Oct. 7, 2023, when Israel’s occupation began in 1948. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has a close relationship with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is attempting to drag the U.S. into a war with Iran. This could easily turn into World War III, when Russia and China join forces with Iran.

If you want nuclear war, then continue to vote Democrat or Republican. The two major parties represent Wall Street and the war machine, not the American people. Stein will halt weapons shipments to Israel, cut the bloated military budget in half, call for peace negotiations to end the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, promote a $25 an hour minimum wage and declare a climate emergency to implement a Green New Deal, creating millions of new jobs.

Fight for peace and justice, not the lesser of two evils.
