Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein said this week it is critical that the United States act quickly to stop Israel from continuing its genocidal war in Gaza and aggressive military actions against Iran and Lebanon.
Otherwise, she said, we may be headed towards the unthinkable.
“It is
imperative that the US stand up now before it’s too late, before we’re dragged
into it which we should not be. This is an absolutely deadly conflict which has
every capacity to spiral into not only a major regional but potentially a World
War III type conflict that could readily go nuclear. And with Netanyahu and the
fascist government that they have now, it is not hard to envision they’re using
a nuclear weapon.”
Speaking on
the Krystal Kyle and Friends show, Stein said President Biden has to call Netanyahu and warn him that Israel has to stop its military
campaign otherwise US aid will immediately end all aid and the US will get
behind an economic boycott of Israel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj2PZ-Pd8PA&t=499s
Israel
cannot wage its war without “full-bore” military support from the US, she said.
Stein said
that previous presidents, including Ronald Reagan and Dwight Eisenhower, had
prevented Israel from pursuing dangerous military actions at different times by
threatening to withhold aid.
So far,
President Biden and the presumptive Democratic Party nominee for president,
Vice President Kamala Harris have only made mild criticisms of Israel’s
campaign in Gaza. They have also said nothing about the recent missile
assassination strikes against Hamas and Hezbollah leaders in Beirut and Tehran ---actions
which many observers believe could touch off a regional war.
