What Does the Publication of Anti-semitic Caricatures Tell Us About The Real Motives for Attacking Zack Polanski?

 Conservative & Upper Class Anti-Semitism Hasn’t Disappeared - It’s Simply Morphed Into Zionism, a Jewish Form of Anti-Semitism

The growth of the Green Party from a fringe into a major party has resulted in the launch of the same ‘anti-Semitism’ smear campaign that destroyed Jeremy Corbyn.

Candidates’ posts were scrutinised for any sign that they opposed Israel’s Genocide. If they confused the term ‘Jew’ and ‘Zionist’ then that was held to be a major crime. The fact that Zionists spend most of their time telling us that Israel is a Jewish state and that opposition to Zionism is anti-Semitic is irrelevant. If you blame Jews then you will be targeted.

The Zionists  drew up the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism which says calling Israel a racist state or comparing it to the Nazis is anti-Semitic. This is Orwellian Doubletalk.

The real ‘crime’ of some candidates was not anti-Semitism but having misspoken or believing the Zionists assertion that their crimes are Jewish crimes.

Their real ‘crime’ in the Zionist and Establishment’s eyes was not hatred of Jews but hatred of Zionism and Israeli Apartheid. The Zionists don’t understand that using children as target practice for the Israeli Defence Force is not something most people approve. A refinement on this is shooting boys in their testicles.

Palestinian boys shot in testicles as “target practice”


Last weekend Peter Tatchell was assaulted and violently ejected from a demonstration which was purportedly against anti-Semitism but in reality was in support of Genocide in Gaza.

Peter Tatchell attacked by Zionists on Rally Against 'Antisemitism' in reality a Rally4Genocide

Peter genuinely believed, his naivety notwithstanding, that this was a demonstration against anti-Semitism and that opposition to Genocide in Gaza was irrelevant. Not so. The demonstration was organised by virulent Zionists for whom ‘anti-Semitism’ is not hatred of Jews but hatred of Zionism, Genocide and Apartheid.

The Green Party have an advantage, in fact two advantages, over Corbyn. One is that they have an articulate Jewish person as leader whereas Corbyn was inarticulate, bumbling and clueless.

The second advantage is that they have the benefit of hindsight. They can see that the anti-Semitism smear campaign against Labour led to the most corrupt, right-wing and racist ‘Labour’ government in history.



Corrupt because Starmer came to lead Labour under false pretences. Corrupt because he hid the financing of his campaign until it was all over. Corrupt because he spent his leadership taking freebies – even his wife’s knickers were paid for by Lord Waheed Alli. Corrupt because Starmer became leader thanks to the Fraud of Labour Together that Paul Holden exposed. 


Starmer made a corrupt and perhaps paedophile friend of Epstein, Peter Mandelson, into US Ambassador and then lied about what he knew. Corrupt because he ennobled friends of paedophiles like Matthew Doyle and Mike Katz, Chair of the Jewish Labour Movement, a Zionist group which nurtured paedophiles in its ranks  including Ivor  Caplin, its former chair and Liron Velleman, former policy officer and councillor.

The consequence of the false anti-Semitism smears against Corbyn were the rise of a Labour leadership which was racist to the core. Shabana Mahmood, a key player in Labour Together from the beginning, who sought to outdo Reform in her proposals on the naturalisation of refugees. So appalling were they that Tommy Robinson praised her proposals.



Starmer’s ‘Labour’ Government supplied arms to fuel the Genocide in Gaza. Starmer even defended the right of Israel to starve Palestinians and then denied that he had said so.

At the same time the Government introduced more police-state legislation attacking the right to protest. Starmer is now proposing banning Palestinian marches because he alleges they are the cause of the anti-Semitic attacks in recent months. All without a scrap of evidence. And then there was the ban on Palestine Action which provoked mass civil disobedience.

Many socialists have found themselves in the Green Party, not out of choice but because of a lack of choice. If Corbyn hadn’t been determined to witchhunt socialists and had turned his attention to building Your Party instead of stifling it, then we might now have a genuine mass Left Party.

In July 1982 Corbyn was the "provisional convener" of "Defeat the Witch-Hunt Campaign". In 2025 he became the Witchfinder General and inserted the unelected Karie Murphy into a position of power in YP. From 850,000 initial inquiries and an 18% poll rating at one time, YP has now all but disappeared. If Corbyn hadn’t destroyed an emerging Left Party then it’s doubtful that the Green Party would grown. 

Zack Polanski should thank Corbyn for having recruited so many Green Party members. What we face is a situation where the old Green Party establishment and Green Party Zionists such as Elise Benjamin and supported by Rachel Millward have adopted the media’s anti-Semitism narrative.



That is why it is worth taking a closer look at the bona fides of this rejuvenated smear campaign and where it is coming from. The national media have accepted that the Green Party today is anti-Semitic and that Polanski is to blame.

It is interesting that the Media have resorted to publishing anti-Semitic caricatures of Polanski which resemble Nazi cartoons. The Times, Mail, Sun & Telegraph have demonstrated that what they are not interested in is opposing genuine anti-Semitism.

Their imagery has included all the traditional features of Jews like big noses, grasping, leering, lecherous features. All the stuff of Julius Streicher’s famous Nazi paper Der Sturmer .

Reform were first off the mark when their Brighton and Hove branch published an anti-Semitic cartoon of Polanski. The Board of Deputies said they would be ‘raising the issue’ with Reform. This did not stop them from inviting a Reform speaker to their demonstration against 'anti-Semitism'. If it had been a socialist paper that had published an anti-Semitic cartoon then they would have been singing from the rooftops.

However the BOD and CAA did refuse to invite Polanski to their rally, which clearly demonstrates where their priorities really lie.

The Zionist 'antisemitism' march that was a thinly disguised march for genocide

This hypocrisy is why we should treat with contempt the ‘anti-Semitism’ smear campaign against Green council candidates and welcome the fact that so many of them, like Mark Adderley, have been elected.

Having spoken to a number of them I can confirm the fact that they are not anti-Jewish. What they are concerned about is the savagery and brutality of the IDF in Gaza and the fact that these crimes are supported by a majority of Jewish people in this country.

It’s not surprising when so-called Jewish representative bodies like the Board of Deputies and the misnamed Campaign Against Antisemitism support the genocide and attack opponents as anti-Semitic that people confuse being Jewish and Zionist. Being Jewish and a racist are not synonymous although many Jews in this country are Islamophobes like Gary Mond, former senior-vice president of the BOD.

To misspeak is not to be an anti-Semite. Historically Zionists were the best friends of the anti-Semites and not much has changed. The anti-Semites wanted Jews to leave the countries they lived in and the Zionists were happy to oblige.

The Zionist idea of a ‘Jewish Return’ to Palestine was anti-Semitic because it assumed that Jews did not belong in the countries they lived in. As the founder of Political Zionism, Theodor Herzl, wrote in his Diaries: 

The anti-Semites will be our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies.’ It was true then in 1895 and its true today.

But what the anti-Semitic cartoons of the press demonstrates is that beneath their support for Zionism there still remains the traces of upper class anti-Semitism which they reserve for those opposed to their colonial project. To these people, even the most obsequious and loyal Zionists are still not 'one of us' however hard they try.

    I do not think Peter Tatchell was being naive. He knew exactly what he was doing and rightly wanted to expose the Zionist/far right alliance. In that he was sucessful. I salute his courage.
