I Will Be that Governor Who Stands Against Genocide

New Jersey stands as a beacon of diversity, a state where cultures, religions, and communities converge. As your future governor, I vow to represent all—not just a chosen few. What happens internationally reverberates here at home, and we cannot turn a blind eye to the atrocities happening around the globe. We have a moral responsibility to uphold humanity, justice, and peace.

When governments or extremist groups escalate beyond deadly force—


    • Engaging in mass starvation

    • Cutting off water supplies

    • Bombing schools, hospitals, and civilian populations

    • Restricting humanitarian aid

They cross a line and become the very terrorists they claim to fight against. These are crimes against humanity, and we must have the courage to call them what they are: genocide.

This is not a conflict of sides. Both Muslims and Jews, Palestinians and Israelis, are bearing the devastating weight of this crisis. The shared pain of loss, fear, and suffering is a stark reminder of our shared humanity. Let us stop putting labels on one another. We are not simply “Jewish” or “Muslim,” “Palestinian” or “Israeli.” We are human beings. Do we not all bleed red?

Let us create resolve because no one, on any side, truly wants death and destruction.

As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.”

He also taught us that

“Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.”


I Stand Against Those Who Profit from Suffering

War is not a business, nor should it ever be treated as one. I stand firmly against those who exploit the pain of others for financial gain.

    • Weapons manufacturers, contractors, and corporations thriving on war perpetuate cycles of violence.

    • Profiting from conflict is immoral and destabilizes communities and entire regions.

    • Those who build wealth from devastation and despair must be held accountable.

To those who profit from misery, I say:

“If your business model thrives on war and human suffering, it’s time to change—or be held accountable.”

New Jersey can and will lead the way. We will:

    • Promote transparency in how companies operate.

    • Discourage investments tied to warfare and oppression.

    • Advocate for policies that prioritize ethics, innovation, and sustainability over profit from human suffering.


The New Jersey-Israel Commission, which fosters economic and cultural connections between our state and Israel, must also rise to meet this moment. Their main focus at this time should be to stand unequivocally against genocide and use their influence not just to initiate a regional ceasefire but to push for a comprehensive and lasting peace treaty. We cannot approach this issue with a one-sided perspective. Humanity deserves more.


Protecting the Right to Speak and Protest


The right to freedom of speech is sacred, and peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy. I will not condemn non-violent demonstrations. When people feel their voices are ignored, frustration turns into action. Change demands courage, but it must reject violence.

Our law enforcement officers must serve and protect—not intimidate or suppress. When their presence resembles that of a militia, tensions escalate. It is like striking a match on a pile of gasoline-soaked kindling. Such actions do not calm the flames of unrest; they ignite them further.


A Pledge for Humanity and Unity

As your governor, I pledge to lead with humanity and empathy. I will fight for peace, for justice, and for a New Jersey that not only welcomes all but actively works to uplift every individual, regardless of their background.

This is not just about ending genocide or addressing international conflicts. This is about who we are as a people. Together, we can build a state and a nation that stands against genocide, against hatred, and against violence.

New Jersey, we are better together. Let us show the world how unity can overcome division and how humanity can prevail over inhumanity.


No more. Let this be our collective promise.


To secure a spot in the Gubernatorial debates, we must raise $580,000. I didn’t set the rules, but I’m committed to playing by them—for now.

I refuse to accept contributions from corporations or special interests

because elections should belong to the people, not powerful institutions. Unlike the Democrats or Republicans, I don’t have a massive war chest. But that’s our greatest strength.

This campaign is about proving that we, the people, can elect an independent Governor and Legislation who truly represents YOU—not a third party, but a first priority. Invest in the future of New Jersey and let’s make history together.
