The Vice Presidential candidate running with Jill Stein of the Green Party released an album celebrating atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7th and has advocated violence against Israelis.
Jill Stein, who was raised as a Reform Jew in Chicago, has selected as her running mate Rudolph “Butch” Ware, who is an associate professor of history from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and has a long track record of antisemitic and anti-Israel social media activity.
Ware, part of the hip-hop duo Slum Prophecy, dropped an album called Aqsa Flood celebrating the October 7th attacks just two weeks before Stein selected him as her running mate.
In her 2016 Presidential bid, Stein’s running mate Ajamu Baraka had made remarks denying the Holocaust, which he later disavowed after he had joined the campaign.
Ware has removed links to his album’s singles, which include “Intifada” and “Kill Shot (Pick Them Off),” but they have still received thousands of plays on Spotify.
On October 7th, 2023, Ware posted the anti-Israel slogan, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Ware also posted, “Oppressors, whatever ‘faith’ they may claim, are doomed in this life and in the next.”
He compared the October 7th massacre to the Nat Turner rebellion, a Virginia slave uprising that occurred in 1831.
Although Jill Stein only received a small percentage of the vote in the 2016 election, given that the leading candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, are in a dead heat, just a few percentage points secured by the Stein campaign could affect the outcome of the 2024 election.
Jill Stein has criticized Vice President Harris for her perceived support of Israel in the Gaza war a centerpiece of her campaign.
Campaign videos featuring her wearing a keffiyeh and on social media, Stein posted on Monday, “A vote for Harris/Trump enables genocide. We can’t normalize the mass murder of children. As Gaza goes, we all go.”
Given her strong anti-Israel, Stein has received an endorsement of notorious antisemite David Duke, former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, although she rejected the endorsement.
