A third-party presidential candidate, Jill Stein, has received an endorsement from a group known as the 'Abandon Harris' campaign in the upcoming 2024 election. This group has labeled Vice President Harris as a 'pro-genocide candidate' and is urging Muslim Americans and those who oppose genocide to support the Green Party this year.
The Abandon Harris campaign was formed in October 2023, with a focus on denouncing what they refer to as the 'U.S.-backed Israeli project of Palestinian annihilation.' They are calling on the American people, particularly the Muslim-American community, to stand against oppression and use their voting power to combat genocide wherever it occurs.
According to the group, both Harris and former President Trump are seen as supporting the continuation of a genocide, with the campaign aiming to hold Harris accountable for her alleged backing of such actions.
In response to the endorsement, Jill Stein expressed her gratitude for the support from the Abandon Harris campaign.
The group's website states that their primary objective is to challenge Harris on her perceived endorsement of genocide, particularly in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
On the other hand, Vice President Harris has been vocal about condemning the actions of Hamas terrorists, who carried out attacks in October 2023 that led to a war effort by Israel. Harris emphasized her commitment to ensuring the safety and security of both Israelis and Palestinians, expressing sorrow over the loss of lives and the suffering endured by innocent civilians.
The Abandon Harris campaign has criticized Harris for what they perceive as her unwavering support for Israel, particularly in the context of the conflict with Hamas. They accuse her of lacking consistency in her stance on various issues but being resolute in her backing of Israeli actions.
As the 2024 election approaches, the endorsement of Jill Stein by the Abandon Harris campaign adds a new dimension to the political landscape, highlighting the divergent views on foreign policy and human rights issues within the American electorate.
