7. The Anti-Genocide Presidential Candidate with Dr. Jill Stein

In this episode of the Save The Olive Tree Podcast, I have a discussion with Dr. Jill Stein about a range of topics including her fight against genocide in Gaza, her presidential campaign, and even her background as a Physician.  We discuss: Dr. Stein’s background in medicine and transition into politics and activism.  How she got involved in the Palestinian cause for justice. Why is there such a poor understanding of the Palestinian struggle in the US? How does the Israel lobby maintain such a strong grip on US policy?  What strategies can be employed to try and fight against AIPAC and the lobby?  Are American politicians misguided and believe Israeli ideology or do they know the truth and are corrupt? Or a bit of both? A bit about the Green Party and What is Dr. Stein’s vision in her presidential run?  What does she see in the future for Palestine? Guest Intro: Dr. Jill Stein is a Chicago native and Harvard-educated doctor. She was in medical practice for 25 years, before being recruited to run for Governor of Massachusetts. She has led initiatives for voting reform and environmental justice, among others, and she has run for president as a Green Party candidate in 2012 and 2016. She is running again for President this November.
