I Have Been Expelled from the Green Party Because Excluding Jews is the Best Way to Combat a Non-Existent Anti-Semitism

Racist Zionists like Elise Benjamin, Who Accused Mothin Ali of Anti-Semitism & Called Noam Chomsky a Race Traitor are Left Untouched



Greens 4 Palestine Webinar 1 July 2026 - 'Reinstate Our Members - Anti‑Zionism is not Anti-Semitism

On 29 June I received an email informing me that I had been expelled from the Green Party ‘after proper consideration’ by a ‘consensus decision’ of the Green Party Council [GPC].

Attached to the email was a Form which begged more questions than it answered. I had been suspended, after an anonymous complaint, on 16 April and given till 13 May to respond.

Clearly the GPC couldn’t wait till 13 May because on 7 May they expelled me! Yet the description of it being a consensus vote by Rositta Priestley of the Complaints Department, who for some reason reminds recipients of her emails that ‘#MyNameIs: Rose-EATer’ was a little wide of the mark. The vote had been 7-6, in other words a majority of one.

Longman’s Dictionary defined consensus as ‘an opinion that everyone in a group agrees with or accepts.’ A vote of 7-6 doesn’t seem to accord with that. Collins Dictionary definition was much the same ‘A consensus is general agreement among a group of people’ and the synonyms include ‘unanimity’ or ‘common consent’.

What was curious was although the decision was made on 7 May it wasn’t until 29 June, over 7 weeks later that I was informed of the decision. Why the delay? I can only assume that the decision was referred elsewhere. Perhaps the Chair of the GPC, Laura Eccott, consulted her Israeli Embassy handlers for their approval? It is a mystery.


However it was the reasons for my expulsion that demonstrate that disciplinary processes in the Green Party are not fit for purpose. Behind the nice, cuddly image of the Green Party lies a deeply authoritarian and undemocratic set up.

The reason I was suspended on 16 April was for

Documented history of antisemitism, including court decisions and recent terrorism charges.

No documentation has ever been produced so it is clear that this was a fictitious reason. The ‘terrorism charges’ relates to an allegation that has yet to be tested, viz. that I invited support for a proscribed organisation. The usual legal rule of innocent until proven guilty seems to have been discarded by a Green Party that is nominally committed to natural justice. Internally however it seems no such rules apply

The reasons give for my expulsion bear no relationship to the reasons for my suspension. This is indeed Zionist justice.

The first reason given was ‘Multiple breaches of 4.8 suspension’ with no indication of what these might have been.

But its the following reasons that are bizarre. They states that

Despite the repeated instances of antisemitism that led to TG's suspension, post suspension TG has displayed no contrition or regret, but rather sought to solidify his lack of any regret for his previous action by way of seeking to publicly portray those involved in the original decision in a negative light through online posts and blogs.’

It refers to ‘the repeated instances of antisemitism that led to TG's suspension’. If this is true why was there no reference in my original suspension to these ‘repeated instances’? It is as if the Chair, Laura Eccott, who proposed the expulsion, had simply made up the first thing that entered the vacuum between her ears.

Unsurprisingly I didn’t express any contrition or regret since there was nothing to regret or be contrite about. The final paragraph, that I

not only failed to show any regret or remorse, but has sought to portray GPEW negatively for seeking to distance itself from his activities and opinions, to include making false allegations concerning party members.

repeats the previous paragraph, apart from saying that I had made ‘false allegations’, none of which they gave. I have also been informed that there is no right of appeal. So basically the GPC can make up whatever it wants and there is no come back.

Green Party Deputy Leader Mothin Ali Is a Particular Target for Britain's Racist Press & the Zionists

This is what the Green Party describes as its internal democratic structures. If this is how they treat their members then what would they do if they get into office? Would their attitude to democracy in government be the same as their practice inside their party?

When the Labour Party expelled me they took care not to accuse me of anti-Semitism for legal reasons. Instead they concentrated on allegations that I had ‘abused’ people like Louise Ellman MP, a Zionist MP, for calling her the MP for Tel Aviv South. Laura Eccott, as a common and garden Zionist, displayed no such reticence.

Instead she alleged that I had been guilty of ‘repeated instances of antisemitism’. As to what these repeated instances were she doesn’t tell us. However these are allegations of fact not opinion. In libel law there are two defences under the Defamation Act 2013 – s.2 which is the truth and s.3 which is honest opinion. Because this is not an opinion she cannot rely on section 3. She must prove that her allegations are true.

The UN Report on Israel's Extermination of Palestinian Children Is a Product of Zionism

I have already written to Harriet Lamb, the CEO of the Green Party saying that I will bring proceedings for defamation unless these allegations and the expulsion are withdrawn.

However the wider question revolves around the suspension of at least 30 Council candidates, most of whom are Muslims. In fact the only White person that I know who has been suspended is Mark Adderley who has been elected for a Croydon ward.

The impression that is inevitably gained is that the Green Party wants the votes of Muslims but if they express an opinion that falls foul of the Telegraph or Mail then they will be suspended. Of the six Muslims due to speak at our webinar, five of them decided not to appear because of the threat of being suspended or expelled.

Nonetheless although the original 9 speakers were whittled down to 3, our webinar was excellent. Heather Mendick, who was expelled from the Labour Party, stood as an independent socialist candidate in Hackney. She described the pressure that was put on her by the Green Party, which had originally entered into an alliance with the Hackney Independent Socialists, as a result of ‘anti-Semitism’ allegations that were made. In the end they backed off but it caused a lot of mistrust.

The Green Party is going to have to do what the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn didn’t do which is to stand up to the mass media and not back off when allegations are made. Anti-Semitism is a very simple concept –hostility to or prejudice against Jews as Jews. Hostility to Israel is anti-racist not anti-Semitic. It is difficult to think of anything that can be said of Israel today that is anti-Semitic. Israel is not a person. It is like saying criticism of Nazi Germany was anti-German.

The next speaker was Feda Shaheen, who had been a candidate in Bournemouth. Feda is a fiery speaker and a Palestinian who did not mince her words for the behaviour of the Green Party and fellow candidates. When I asked speakers if they still wished to continue Feda had been adamant that no Green Zionist was going to deplatform her.

This is the Zionism that Caroline Lucas Ignores


The last speaker was me and I laid into the Green Party Establishment who are behind this witchhunt. I criticised in particular Caroline Lucas, the former MP for Brighton Pavilion who in an interview with Politics Home said of the Zionism is Racism motion that is due to be debated at the Autumn Party Conference that:

There is a vast difference between criticising the Israeli government and using terms about which Jewish Greens and others have raised concerns, she stresses. “Zionism can be interpreted in so many different ways, and there was a concern that some people thought the motion was talking more about individual Jewish people rather than the Israeli government.”

It is up to the party to decide what to discuss, Lucas adds, but she hopes the debate is held in a less “toxic” way next time.

Lucas has always been a supporter of the Israeli state and Zionism. She is simply wrong when she says the motion talks about individual Jews. It doesn’t mention Jews at all and simply says that ‘definitions of anti-Jewish discrimination should not equate Jewish identity with Zionist ideology.’

It is her Zionist friends who insist that Zionism is about Jews. When she says that debates should be held in a less toxic way what she’s really saying is that our criticisms of a genocidal, ethnic cleansing state and Zionist ideology are toxic.

Nothing is toxic enough to describe the genocide in Gaza. Nor is it true that Zionism means different things to different people. Zionism is what it does to Palestinians and how they experience it not what is in the heads of those who confuse their Jewish identity with Zionist ideology.

People think that all Nazis and members of the Nazi party were virulent anti-Semites. This is not true. Many Nazis weren’t interested in what was called the Jewish Question. They supported the Nazis because they wanted an end to unemployment or because of Versailles or wanted to see a new revitalised Germany. Would the fact that they thought Nazism meant these things mean that we should judge Nazi ideology by what was in the heads of individual Germans or by what those who experienced Nazi oppression saw it as?

Zionism believes in a Jewish state which, in the words of the ‘moderate’ Israeli opposition leader, Yair Lapid means ‘maximum Jews on maximum land with maximum security and with minimum Palestinians.’


Zionism always sought a racially pure state which inevitably meant ethnic cleansing and Jewish Supremacy. Everything in Israel is segregated as Jonathan Cook so eloquently points out in his article Israel is an apartheid state – and its weird marriage laws show us how.

There is a fight on to see whether the Green Party is going to backtrack from the criticisms Zack Polanski has made about Genocide in Gaza and the racism which causes this. My expulsion and the suspension of others are an indication of the determination of Zionist Greens to do the bidding of the Israeli state.

Elise Benjamin’s Racist Rant is Acceptable to the Green Party Council

Meanwhile prominent Zionist Greens like Elise Benjamin are not suspended despite making openly racist comments, accusing the Deputy Leader Mothin Ali of being anti-Semitic and Noam Chomsky of being a race ‘traitor’ for his criticisms of Israel.

Reinstate Our Green Party Suspended Members - Reject the False ‘Anti-Semitism’ Smears

Anti-Zionism IS NOT Anti-Semitism

As the first Jewish member of the Labour Party to be expelled as a result of the ‘anti-Semitism’ smear campaign, I experienced a sense of déjà vu when on April 16 I was suspended from the Green Party.

After I joined the Green Party on March 31 I was the subject of articles in the Jewish Chronicle and Telegraph whose theme was that the Corbyn ‘anti-Semites’ were now crossing over to the Green Party. By April 13 a complaint had been submitted against me.

But if members of the Labour Party, including some on the left, could be forgiven for thinking that there was no smoke without fire in 2016 when I was suspended, no such excuse can be made today. ‘Anti-Semitism’ has been the sole response to allegations of Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing.

When a warrant was issued by the International Criminal Court for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, Israel’s Defence Minister, Netanyahu proclaimed that this was ‘pure anti-Semitism’. Because we all know that the Israeli Defence Forces is the most moral army in the world.

There have been nearly three years of genocide in Gaza. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been killed. There is no war crime or atrocity that Israel has not committed.

The UN’s Report on Israel’s treatment of Palestinian Children makes shocking reading. It concluded that:

‘The Commission found that much of the harm suffered by Palestinian children was not incidental but intended to destroy the existence of the Palestinians in Gaza as a group. Since children embody the biological and social continuity of the group, the Commission has reasonable grounds to conclude that these acts form part of a deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children.

In other words the IDF was deliberately killing Palestinian children knowing that they are the future of the Palestinian people. Israel was exterminating children to kill off a future generation. The quintessential definition of genocide. Unsurprisingly Israel refused to co-operate with the Commission as it does all independent inquiries.

Former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked Described Palestinian Children as 'Little Snakes'

The ideological groundwork for this extermination had been done by neo-Nazi Rabbis such as Eliyahu Mali of Bnei Moshe Yeshiva in Jaffa who openly advocated  the murder of children. Mali justified exterminating Palestinian children because he saw them as the future generation of fighters.

Rabbi Mali who trains religious Jews for the Israeli army advocates killing Palestinian children

Today's terrorists are the children of the prior [military] operation that left them alive. The women are essentially the ones who are producing the terrorists,... It's not only the 14 or 16-year-old boy, the 20 or 30-year-old man who takes up a weapon against you but also the future generation. There's really no difference

On October 4, 1943 Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS which was responsible for implementing the Final Solution, told a meeting of senior SS Generals that:

‘I did not assume to have the right to exterminate the men… and have the avengers personified in the children to become adults for our children and grandchildren.’ 

Israel’s hasbara (propaganda) rests on accusations of anti-Semitism. This is the context for the ‘anti-Semitism’ allegations against Green anti-Zionists. The Green Party Council [GPC] cannot claim ignorance or that it was unaware of what was happening.

The Genocide in Gaza is staring people in the face as are the false accusations of ‘anti-Semitism’. Not just by Israel but its supporters, including those in the Green Party such as Elise Benjamin and Mark Strong.

How the Media Creates a False Antisemitism Panic as Opposed to the Attack on Muslims in Edinburgh Which was Ignored

The suspension, not just of myself but at least 30 Green Party Council candidates in the recent local elections was not just a panicked reaction by Green Party officials. Certain members of the GPC, such as Laura Eccott, took advantage of the press barrage in order to try and take out Green Anti-Zionists.

The media attacks on Zack Polanski, the party’s Jewish leader and Green Party ‘anti-Semitism’ gave the game away. They took the form of anti-Semitic cartoons which would not have been out of place in the Nazi paper Der Sturmer.

Historically support for Zionism and anti-Semitism went hand in hand. The founder of Political Zionism, Theodor Herzl explained in his Diaries on 12 June 1895 that ‘The anti-Semites will be our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic our allies’ and so it has proved.

In October last year Tommy Robinson, the founder of the English Defence League, was a guest of the Israeli government. Although the Zionist Board of Deputies of British Jews condemned the invitation it knew very well that the Israeli state has long had an alliance with anti-Semites.

When the BOD held its march against 'anti-Semitism' they invited 'gas 'em' Nigel Farage of the openly racist Reform Party but failed to invite the only Jewish leader of a major political party, Zack Polanski. Clearly the march was not against anti-Semitism.


The Board itself has long had a problem with Islamophobia in its own ranks. Gary Mond, the former Senior Vice Chair of the Board and a virulent Islamophobe was forced to resign but many others stayed.

For two years running Israel’s Diaspora Minister, Amichai Chikli, has organised a conference ‘Fighting anti-Semitism.’ Who did he invite?  Some of the world’s best known anti-Semites and neo-Nazis. There is a certain logic in this.

Zionist organisations outside Israel were clearly embarrassed. As they were attacking anti-Zionists as ‘anti-Semites’ Israel was proving that Zionism has no problem with anti-Semitism.

Jewish Zionism has always been a form of Jewish anti-Semitism. When Zionism first arose most Jews saw it as anti-Semitism in Jewish clothing. The anti-Semites said Jews did not belong in the countries where they lived and the Zionists agreed. The concept of a Jewish ‘return’ to Palestine was Christian Zionist in origin based on the idea that European Jews were strangers in their own lands.

Elise Benjamin's, the Zionist Green's Victimisation Complex


As I explained in my Open Letter to the Green Party Council of 26 June, the disciplinary procedures in the Green Party are not fit for purpose. They are being manipulated by Zionist Greens such as the co-chair of the Green Party Council, Laura Eccott and Elise Benjamin, as part of a war by Establishment Greens against anti-Zionists. Zack Polanski has upset a number of the old guard such as former MP, Caroline Lucas who see no contradiction between Green policies and supporting capitalism and imperialism.

This week all four MPs failed to oppose the National Security (States Threat) Bill which will proscribe Iran’s IRGC. There is no evidence that the IRGC has ever operated in Britain unlike the Shah of Iran’s violent supporters. However this is a way of demonstrating our support for the United States and Israel in their attack on Iran.

The timing of the ‘anti-Semitism’ attack on the Green Party was not coincidental. It was intended, before the local elections, to prevent Green gains. In this it failed but we can be sure that next year they will try again. The real reason of course is not anti-Semitism but the Green Party breaking with the imperialist consensus on supporting Israel.

The GP is the only major party to condemn outright Israel’s genocide in Gaza, to support BDS and describe Israel as an apartheid state as well as calling the IDF a terrorist organisation. When it was a fringe party such positions did not matter but when it is polling 18% and doing better than the Tories and Labour then that is a different matter.

The BBC and our billionaire press all profess to believe in democracy but only in so far as the differences between different parties are confined to personalities and a narrow overton window. The possibility of a major party adopting positions that are seen as ‘anti-Western’ is threat to them. Foreign policy, including support for Israel, has always been a matter of consensus between the major parties.

A Green Party that fails to support Zionism is failing to support a major plank of Western imperialism, which is the alliance with Israel. The old guard in the Green Party, people like Caroline Lucas and Carla Denyers, have long supported Britain’s role as an imperialist power. That meant support for NATO, the imperialist alliance of western powers that has wrecked such havoc in Ukraine.

What is even worse for these people is that a resolution calling Zionism a form of racism is questioning the very legitimacy of the Israeli state as a Jewish state. There were real fears that it could pass and thus the Green Party would be committed to one unitary democratic state.

Fortunately for the Green racists and their allies the motion was filibustered by people like Mark Strong, a Brighton Green Zionist and Laura Eccott. However the motion is set to return to the autumn conference and that is why the witchhunt of anti-Zionists and Muslim councillors won’t go away.

Greens4Palestine are holding this Wednesday a webinar featuring a number of suspended Councillors and others who have been under attack, including Mark Adderley, a well know film producer and recently elected Green Party Councillor. He was suspended according to the London News-South because of a series of online videos ‘which include rhetoric comparing Israel to Nazi Germany.’

It needs to be said loud and clear that there is nothing anti-Semitic in comparing Israel to Nazi Germany. The comparisons between the devastation in Gaza and the Nazi destruction of Poland and Warsaw are too obvious even for the most brain dead Zionist Green.

What’s been happening in Gaza is identical to the Nazi starvation of the Jewish ghettos in Poland. Israel, like Nazi Germany, is an ethno-nationalist state where racial supremacy is entrenched in law. The Nuremberg Laws removed German nationality from Jews. The Jewish Nation State Law confirms that Israeli Palestinians are not Israeli nationals either. Although there is no Israeli nationality Jewish nationality functions as that in practice.

 There are 65 laws that discriminate against Israeli Palestinians. 56% of Israeli Jews want to expel Israeli Palestinians, far higher than the number of Germans who wanted to expel Jews. Over 60% of Israelis want to exterminate all Palestinians in Gaza. In many ways racism in Israel against Palestinians is far worse than anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany.

In some ways Israel is worse than Nazi Germany because the regime in Germany never commanded majority support. Even in the unfree elections of March 1933 the Nazis never obtained more than 44% of the vote and in the 1932 elections their highest vote was 37% in July falling to 34% in November.

By way of contrast in Israel the vast majority of the population support Zionist and Jewish parties and support for Jewish racial supremacy is, at the minimum, 80% of Israelis.

Heather Mendick, who was formerly in the Labour Party until she was expelled by Starmer for having ‘undermined the party’s ability to campaign against racism’ (as if!) is also speaking as is Lubna Speitan, the British Palestinian who moved the Zionism is Racism motion at the Spring Conference. I will also be speaking. People from all parties and none are welcome to register and attend.

The Zionist Greens

Zionists in the Green Party have organised primarily around Jewish Greens which were set up originally by Elise Benjamin, a former Oxford City councillor.

Benjamin has been particularly prominent in the accusations of ‘anti-Semitism’. Her Twitter feed has become increasingly racist. She describes herself as an ‘indigenous Judean’, which presumably means that she is entitled to settle in the West Bank, which Zionists call Judea and Samaria. She seems to think that DNA has some relevance to Zionist colonisation.

She was recently quoted in the Jewish Chronicle as saying about the rise in support for the Green Party and its influx of new members that “It feels very hollow – almost like a bereavement,” referring to the party’s surge in the polls.

In a podcast titled Resistance to Antisemitism in the UK Green Party by David Hirsh’s London Centre Study of Contemporary Anti-Semitism, a Zionist propaganda body, Elise Benjamin was interviewed, if that is the right word by a Yvonne Maxwell, who claimed to have been on the left of the Labour Party.

I have produced a series of excerpts from this podcast which people may find interesting. In it she calls the Green Party’s Deputy Leader, Mothin Ali, an anti-Semite and to say that ‘if I'm in the same room as him, I walk out now because that's all I can do.’ (43.04)

On the Green Party winning a parliamentary by-election, she said ‘I'm just not able to celebrate because I it feels hollow.’ 1:00:55 and went on to say ‘it feels a bit like an amputation in a way.... it is a very it's a very hollow win for me.’ [1:01:14].’

This is no surprise because for Zionists loyalty to their racist state surpasses their commitment to anything else. Benjamin also calls Noam Chomsky, who has written many books on US imperialism, a ‘traitor’ which shows that Benjamin is a died-in-the-wool racist and Zionist who believes that anti-Zionist Jews are traitors to race and nation.

I think all of these are grounds for Elise Benjamin’s expulsion – as an Islamophobe and an overt racist.  I hope to see you on Wednesday.
