Dr. Jill Stein, who recently clinched the Green Party nomination for President, demands:
…an end to the discriminatory apartheid policies within the state of Israel, the removal of the Separation Wall, a ban on assassination, movement toward denuclearization, the release of all political prisoners and journalists from Israeli and Palestinian prisons, disarmament of non-state militias, and recognition of the right of self-determination for both Israelis and Palestinians….
As President I will put the full weight of the United States behind the establishment of a Palestine and Israel Truth and Reconciliation Commission as the vehicle for shifting from an era of human rights violations to one based on trust and bringing all parties together to seek solutions. Any stakeholder who enters into this process must pledge to work for a solution that respects the rights of all involved.
Kudos!
I was planning on boycotting the next election, but, now I plan on voting for Jill.
FINALLY — An American politician with some backbone.
Every policy she advocates would be good for Israel and for American and other Diaspora Jews — not to mention good for the American interest and meritorious from the standpoint of the enlightened values and opinion of mankind.
Which means that one can expect the Israeli government, the Israel lobby, Mossad, neoconservatives, Christian Zionists and the usual gang to work for the destruction of her political career with full force.
Interesting. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if this information actually got in the news for the masses? Imagine the Green Party candidate getting on the nightly news! Will CSPAN put her on Washington Journal, at least?
A physician born in Chicago and raised in Highland Park, married to fellow physician Richard Rohrer, and their two sons are named Ben and Noah. I’d be willing to bet that she’s Jewish.
By the way, I think we should also have a truth commission here in the U.S. for our misdeeds during the so-called War on Terror. I was interested to read that former CIA executive Glenn Carle also calls for such a commission in his autobiographical book The Interrogator.
Talk is ohhh so cheap.
