By JNS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign website of Jill Stein\u2014a physician, activist and perennial presidential candidate\u2014has two items in its press release section<\/a>: the announcement on Nov. 9 that she is seeking the Green Party nomination and a Nov. 15 release accusing Israel and the United States of war crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsrael\u2019s attack on Al Shifa Hospital is a horrifying and brazen war crime before our very eyes,\u201d Stein, 73, stated. \u201cAttacking a hospital with bombs and snipers, shooting doctors and patients, cutting off power and blocking supplies keeping patients alive, including premature babies\u2014these are not acts of war, they are acts of genocide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The release does not note that the Hamas terror organization is known to operate from and beneath hospitals and to use human shields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, Stein posted a video on social media, in which she again accused Israel of genocide. \u201cI grew up dedicated to the proposition that genocide would never happen again. That means never again for anyone. Free Palestine,\u201d she wrote<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the video begins with Stein saying, \u201cAs a Jew, I grew up dedicated to the proposition that genocide would never happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGaza\u2019s future is our future. We must have a ceasefire now,\u201d she added. \u201cA supermajority wants that, but our elected officials, our misleaders, they are paid not to have a beating heart, not to have a breathing soul, not to have a thinking brain, and we say, \u2018Shame on you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are going to throw those bums out,\u201d she added. The video ends with a chant of \u201cFree Palestine\u201d and \u201cAs Gaza goes, we all go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word \u201cJew\u201d doesn\u2019t seem to appear on the site of the Chicago native, who grew up in Highland Park, Ill., and graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Medical School. According to reports in Jewish media, she grew up as a member of a Reform temple in Illinois.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stein was the Green Party candidate in 2016 and 2012, when she earned 1,457,218 votes (1.07%) and 469,627 votes (0.36%), respectively. She also ran unsuccessfully twice for governor of Massachusetts in 2010 (32,895 votes, 1.4%) and in 2002 (76,530 votes, 3.5%).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
