Today, October 7th 2024, marks one year since the Hamas attack on Israel that many consider to have sparked Israel’s US-backed genocidal campaign against Gaza that is now exploding into a regional war. But history did not begin on October 7th, 2023.
To understand the current situation, we must look back at least as far as 1948 to the Nakba, the brutal mass expulsion of indigenous Palestinians from their homes by Zionist paramilitaries and the newly formed state of Israel. While the world has been watching in horror for the past year as this genocidal rampage has cut short hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, that one year was preceded by generations of violence, occupation, displacement, dispossession, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing.
From the very beginning of this campaign our goal has been to provide voters with an alternative to the parties of war and Wall Street. The corporate media is just as corrupted by the Military Industrial Complex and Wall Street and rarely mentions Jill and Butch except to smear them as “spoilers” - a term first used in the 19th century to attack anti-slavery candidates, in much the same way it’s used today to attack candidates who oppose genocide and support human rights for all.
They're taking my tax dollars and killing people in Gaza.
We've killed over 14,000 children, 14,000 children.
Jill Stein, 2024 Green Party presidential candidate, responded to accusations that her 2016 campaign helped Donald Trump by taking votes from Hillary Clinton.
In an interview with MVP, Stein countered that Green Party voters are not taken from other parties but are new, engaged voters. She emphasized that the premise of the accusation is flawed and that the Green Party’s role is to invigorate voter participation and support the U.S. election process, not to detract from other candidates. Stein’s comments also address concerns related to 2024 elections and reaffirm her stance on voter rights.
The Muslim American Public Affairs Council endorsed the Stein / Ware campaign on Thursday, September 12.
The Democratic Party often rightfully condemns Republicans for suppressing votes at the ballot box, but they are guilty of suppressing voters’ choices by filing frivolous lawsuits to prevent independent and third-party candidates from being on the ballot.
“The single biggest threat that helps put Trump back in the White House is third-party candidates …” said Joe Trippi in an NBC News report. The Party accurately accuses Trump of being an existential threat to our “democracy,” but it is too.

Muslim-Americans in Michigan 'deeply dissatisfied with the current state of the nation, particularly U.S. support for the war on Gaza'
A new poll is offering insight into how Muslim-Americans in Michigan plan to vote in the November presidential election, and the findings might be surprising for some.
So we are now in a situation where what the United States says goes. The decisions are made in the White House and the Pentagon and the State Department. These are the key institutions which determine what happens in Israel. And why the U.S. is doing this puzzles many people who are sympathetic to them.
For Leila Hazou, seven months of war in Gaza that has drawn little more than silence from the Democratic Party with which she once identified so closely has prompted her to take an extraordinary step: running for political office.
A small business owner in Pennsylvania whose family fled Jerusalem during the Nakba, Ms Hazou is running for a seat in the US Senate as a member of the Green Party of Pennsylvania.
