CLAIM: A clip shows Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein saying that “the Jewish people have a homeland in Poland” during an exchange with a man outside of Columbia University.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Stein says that “the Jewish people have homeland” and does not mention the Eastern European country. A caption on the clip, which comes from a longer video first posted to Stein’s social media accounts, was incorrectly autogenerated to read, “the Jewish people have Poland,” according to a spokesperson for the candidate. Stein later posted another video of the exchange with the caption corrected. She further clarified her comment during an appearance in Columbia, Missouri, on Sunday.
THE FACTS: As tensions rise on college campuses over protests about the Israel-Hamas war, social media users are misrepresenting what Stein said at the Ivy League university about a Jewish homeland.
