American presidential elections: The American Arab-Muslim Political Action Committee supports Jill Stein, the candidate of the “Green party”
The very influential American Arab-Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC) has officially supported Jill Stein’s presidential campaign, denouncing the failures of dialogue with the teams of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. AMPAC justifies this choice by Stein’s position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a crucial issue for Arab-American and Muslim voters.
While Harris and Trump continue to support Israel despite its crimes in Palestine and Lebanon, Stein pledges to stop arms transfers to Israel and promote the return of stolen lands in the West Bank, in accordance with international law. Trump, for his part, urged Israel to step up its military operations in Gaza, while Harris reaffirmed her opposition to an arms embargo, defending Israel’s right to “defend itself.”
AMPAC praises Stein for her support for peace and justice, saying she is the only candidate calling for an immediate ceasefire. Recent polls from the Council on American-Islamic Relations show Stein ahead of Harris among Muslim voters in several key states, including Michigan, where Stein captured 40 percent of the vote to Harris’s 12 percent. AMPAC finally calls on Arab and Muslim voters to support a candidate in agreement with their values, emphasizing that their vote is not acquired by any political party.
