A group that has labeled Vice President Harris a ‘pro-genocide candidate’ has endorsed third-party presidential candidate Jill Stein in the 2024 contest.
The ‘Abandon Harris’ campaign says America, as well as presidential candidates Harris and former President Trump, is supporting an ‘Israeli project of Palestinian annihilation’ and urges Muslim Americans and those who oppose genocide to cast their ballot for the Green Party this year.
‘In October 2023, under the darkening shadow of the U.S.-backed Israeli project of Palestinian annihilation, the Abandon Harris campaign – formerly Abandon Biden – was born. Our movement remains dedicated to ensuring that the American people, especially the Muslim-American community, recognize the responsibility we share in standing up against oppression and using all our power to stop genocide – wherever it may arise,’ the group declared in a press release.
‘We are confronting two destructive forces: one currently overseeing a genocide and another equally committed to continuing it. Both are determined to see it through. We call on Muslim-Americans and all those who stand firmly against genocide to vote for the Green Party in 2024,’ the press release states.
Stein has expressed her gratitude to the group and its support of her candidacy.
The Abandon Harris campaign says on its website that its ‘current goal is to hold Harris accountable for her continued support of genocide.’
‘It’s painfully obvious that Kamala Harris can only sound articulate and firm when parroting US support for Israel,’ the group wrote in an August post on X. ‘She fumbles through everything else, but when it comes to endorsing the killing of Palestinians, she suddenly finds a pristine level of eloquence,’ the post added.
Israel launched a war effort last year in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks perpetrated by Hamas terrorists who committed atrocities that included rapes, kidnappings and murders.
‘What Hamas did that day was pure evil – it was brutal and sickening,’ Harris said in a statement marking the one-year anniversary of the attack on Monday. ‘I will do everything in my power to ensure that the threat Hamas poses is eliminated, that it is never again able to govern Gaza, that it fails in its mission to annihilate Israel, and that the people of Gaza are free from the grip of Hamas,’ she declared in the statement.
‘Hamas’s terrorist attack on October 7 launched a war in Gaza. I am heartbroken over the scale of death and destruction in Gaza over the past year – tens of thousands of lives lost, children fleeing for safety over and over again, mothers and fathers struggling to obtain food, water, and medicine. It is far past time for a hostage and ceasefire deal to end the suffering of innocent people. And I will always fight for the Palestinian people to be able to realize their right to dignity, freedom, security, and self-determination,’ Harris said in the statement.
