Jill Stein, the Green Party leader, has sparked controversy with her recent comments during a speech at Columbia University, where she was misheard by some as saying 'The Jewish people have Poland.' However, further examination and review of the video indicate that she actually said 'The Jewish people have homeland,' which was misinterpreted due to interruptions and possibly flawed auto-captioning. This miscommunication led to widespread confusion and backlash, given the historical context of the Holocaust where millions of Polish Jews were murdered. Critics and social media users initially reacted to the misquoted statement, but subsequent clarifications have shown that Stein's actual words were different. Additionally, Stein mentioned that Zionists represent 95% of Jews, countering claims that they are only 0.1%.
Here, the captioning says "Homeland," not "Poland." (Again, listen with your eyes closed. I think the "homeland" will sound out more clearly. It did for me.) She's still wacky, of course. https://t.co/E9cEAKrmzu
I'm not hearing "Poland" when Jill Stein says the line, it sounds like "homeland". Am I missing something?
Noted on another thread that she says "homeland," not "Poland" (and the guy behind her repeats "homeland"). The less interesting point here - everybody uses these AI auto-captions now and they get stuff wrong. (The fact that this is Stein's own video is "proof" she said Poland.) https://t.co/9GXPpviX7a
This is a dishonest clipping. She says "homeland" not "Poland." I'd ask Rikki to delete but she got her engagement and I'm not sure she has the integrity to. See the full clip here: https://t.co/eZBZkQUDsP https://t.co/w52wEIC7AF
"The Jewish people have Poland" 90% of Polish Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. https://t.co/08E4TpFkb2
Come on, people. I am no fan of Jill Stein. But she did not say "The Jewish people have Poland." (What would that even mean?) She said "The Jewish people have homeland ..." and then got cut off by the protester. https://t.co/w7IATTqJdU
Deleted this tweet because folks plausibly contend she said "homeland" not "Poland" and rewatching it, I think the benefit of the doubt goes to her, even though I think she's generally full of crap. https://t.co/x40tzbbapU
She says "the Jewish people have homeland..." and gets interrupted, not "the Jewish people have Poland." The guy she's arguing with repeats the word "homeland." https://t.co/oKhtDM6njs
She says "the Jewish people have homeland..." and gets interrupted, but "the Jewish people have Poland." https://t.co/oKhtDM6njs
This is a perfect example of why having a token Jew is problematic. Jill Stein is a Jew but makes absurd claims that no Jew would ever make. https://t.co/5CBSQJzAB3
Jill Stein comes to Columbia to share her genius take: “The Jewish people have Poland.” https://t.co/GqiUf16pvq
Anyone who has ever tweeted things like "despite facing persecution from the Germans themselves, there were Poles who were complicit in the Holocaust, who killed Jews before and after the war ended." can tell you that the Jews do not, indeed, have Poland https://t.co/6xUDYEkvHj https://t.co/NGEdHjs9Oo
Jill Stein: “The Jewish people have a homeland in Poland” Three million Polish Jews were murdered in the Holocuast at Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, and Auschwitz II–Birkenau extermination camps https://t.co/8qnjKs2QYn
In which Jill Stein says that the Jewish people have a homeland in Poland and that .1 percent of Jews are Zionists. Both absolutely false. Poland was the country where the most Jews were murdered during the Holocaust (millions) and today Jews represent .05% of the population… https://t.co/nf2NzXVnWE

What the hell did I just watch? Jill Stein, the Green Party leader, says Jews can go back to Poland, that Zionists are 0.1% of Jews (we are over 95% of Jews) that the Israeli army is attacking American students on campus and they are at a risk of a genocide. Doesn’t get dumber: https://t.co/j7JCOFFO1a
“The Jewish people have Poland.” https://t.co/InEdhv479p https://t.co/XKkDb71qOH
AYFKM? "The Jewish people have Poland"? https://t.co/WL3tfC4D2D
“The Jewish people have Poland”? What the hell is that supposed to mean? She’s an educated woman, who obviously knows what happened to the Jews of Poland. https://t.co/wJ54BEwKNF
Jill Stein said the Jewish people have Poland? Huh wot. 95% of polish Jews were exterminated. Can Americans stop wanting to do population transfers on either side. https://t.co/dOaARlnWJ0
