Jill Stein announces presidential bid then says Biden is 'complicit' in Palestinian 'genocide,' compares it to Holocaust

Green Party nominee for 2016, Jill Stein, announced her bid for the 2024 presidential election before calling for investigations into "war crimes" by the Israeli government while claiming President Biden has been complicit in a genocide against Palestine.

"The political system is broken. Over 60% of us now say the two-party establishment has failed us and we need a party that serves the people. I’m running for President to offer a better choice for the people," Stein said in a post on X.

"Both parties are a danger to our democracy," she continued. "Expanding censorship, criminalizing protest ... rigged their primaries," she went on.

Less than two hours later, Stein posted a different video saying that there was a "massacre" of Palestinians underway, describing "war crimes" by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that have "reached genocidal proportions."

"President Biden and bipartisan leaders are not only complicit, they are full partners in Netanyahu's war crimes," she added.

After calling for an investigation into Biden's role in the war, Stein then compared the conflict to the Holocaust.

"As a Jew who grew up just after the holocaust, with relatives who fled pogroms, and a grandfather named Israel, I take 'never again' seriously, and that means never again for anyone."

Stein famously raised approximately $7 million for a recount in three states (WI, PA, MI) after the 2016 presidential election. The efforts were backed by the Hillary Clinton campaign, but the recount was withdrawn weeks later by Stein.

“We do not have a voting system we can trust, and the recount was essentially stopped in its tracks,” Stein said at the time.

Only Wisconsin was recounted and resulted in the addition of 131 votes to President Trump's victory in that state.

"We'll put a pro-worker, anti-war, climate emergency agenda front and center in this election and on the ballot in November," Stein's campaign website read.
