US candidate Jill Stein considering vocal Palestine advocates for VP spot
Shortlist of running mates for Green Party candidate includes two Arab Americans from the swing state of Michigan.
United States Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is considering three Palestinian rights advocates, including two Arab Americans, to be her running mate in the elections, her campaign has confirmed.
The vice president announcement will be made during a livestream rally on Thursday, the Stein campaign told Al Jazeera.
The candidates are Abed Ayoub, executive director at the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC); Amer Zahr, a Palestinian American activist; and Jacqueline Luqman, a journalist and activist.
All three have been vocal critics of Israel and the US’s unflinching support for the war on Gaza. Stein, a physician and activist, herself is a longtime supporter of Palestinian rights.
Having one of the three on the ballot could boost Stein’s chances of tapping into the mass of disaffected voters who have grown angry with the mainstream Democratic Party’s stance on Israel.
No, the US is run by Israel not Palestine.
Can this Russian asset go die in a ditch please.
Jill Stein needs to go the fuck away.
Real inconvenient to Democrats when there's a non Genocide alternative.
Like to fucking Pluto.
