US presidential candidate, Jill Stein, says because of AIPAC’s $100 million funding of the US election, it has become '‘politically toxic’ to speak out against the genocide in Gaza.

‘If we have concerns about the right to life before birth, how about a right to life after birth,’ she said in reference to Israel’s killing of innocent children and the elderly in Gaza. US President Joe Biden 'can end this war with a phone call’, she added.

    It “proves” nothing.

    Things that happened 40 plus years ago have just about zero bearing on what happens today.

    Maybe you’re unfamiliar with everything that’s happening since 1982 but things are considerably more complicated and shitty than they were then and Israel obviously doesn’t give a shit what the rest of the world thinks.

    Do I think that the USA could stop sending weapons and aid to Israel? Without reservation, YES.

    Will a think that a phone call from Biden would stop Netanyahu from continuing?

    Maybe you should call too.
