Our Green values oblige us to support popular movements for peace and demilitarization in Israel-Palestine, especially those that reach across the lines of conflict to engage both Palestinians and Israelis of good will.
We support the implementation of boycott and divestment initiatives against Israel similar to those applied to South Africa in the apartheid era, which includes pressuring our government to impose embargoes and sanctions against Israel; and we support maintaining these nonviolent punitive measures until Israel meets its obligation to recognize the Palestinian people's inalienable right to self-determination and fully complies with the precepts of international law by
- Ending its occupation and colonization of all Palestinian lands and dismantling the Wall in the West Bank
- Recognizing the fundamental rights of Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality; and
- Respecting, protecting and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN resolution 194.
We support a U.S. foreign policy that promotes the creation of one secular, democratic state for Palestinians and Israelis on the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the River Jordan as the national home of both peoples, with Jerusalem as its capital.

My name is Sean Dougherty and I’m running for Congress against Jimmy Panetta.
I call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. There is no military solution. The slaughter of the people of Gaza will accomplish nothing but the creation of more militants and thousands more dead children.

Dear Congresswoman Stefanik,
We, the undersigned, urge you to resign immediately for your aiding and abetting genocide of Palestinians in Gaza by voting to send arms to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to perpetrate the crime in violation of the Genocide Convention. It is altogether fitting and proper that you do this.

As a potential 2026 candidate for Governor of Maryland, as a human being, and as a member of the Maryland Green Party, I am committed to peace, justice, and democracy for Palestinians and Israelis alike. I am deeply saddened by the violence, the occupation and the system of Israeli apartheid. I am angry at the United States federal government, and numerous state governments, for the direct and material enabling of Israeli regimes that continue to defy international law and make peace impossible.

We are now one month into Israel’s unrelenting bombardment of Gaza. Over 10,000 Palestinians are dead. More are missing under the rubble. Nearly half of them are children. More children have been killed in Gaza than the number killed in all armed conflicts globally over an entire year – for the last three years.
And it’s happening on our watch. With our tax dollars.

Sen. Bob Menendez says the U.S. should help Israel "wipe Hamas off the face of the Earth." Christina Khalil and Madelyn Hoffman disagree.
NEW JERSEY — Should the United States help Israel to "effectively wipe Hamas off the face of the Earth?" This statement from Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey – given less than three weeks after Hamas' Oct. 7 attack – is now seeing some fierce criticism from two of his former and current Senate challengers: Christina Khalil and Madelyn Hoffman of the Green Party of New Jersey.
Casualties and suffering have been heavy for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
