Elise Benjamin, the Genocide Denier & Rape Apologist is the Spider at the Centre of the Green Party’s Zionist Caucus

 Benjamin, Whose Twitter Feed is a Cesspit of Racism, Finds Allegations of Rape & Torture of Palestinians, a Suitable Subject for her Sick Humour

A battle is going on in the Green Party [GP] between Zionists and anti-Zionists. Between those who want the Party to align itself with Western Imperialism, NATO and the Israeli State and those who are Anti-Racists and Anti-Imperialists.

What happens at the Autumn conference will decide the GP’s direction in the years ahead. Will it simply be a party that seeks to Green Capitalism or a party of anti-capitalism, committed to fundamental change in British society?

Last September Zack Polanski was elected leader of the GP with a vote of 84%, defeating MPs Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns, who represented the Old Deep Green Establishment.

Polanski unlike his opponents was forthright and clear – Israel was committing a Genocide in Gaza. This was a refreshing change from the old Liberal Green Party of Caroline Lucas.

The result was a massive increase in GP membership which more than tripled from 68,000 to over 230,00. Polanski was also helped by Corbyn’s determination to destroy Your Party.

As The Canary noted there was one form of antisemitism that Benjamin could not see and that was genuine, racial anti-Semitism. When a member of the GAA chat raised the Times’ anti-Semitic caricatures of GP leader Zack Polanski – ‘images that evoked the most hateful Nazi‑era stereotypes’ Benjamin’s response was telling: She could not see anything anti-Semitic in the ‘accentuated facial features’.

Almost alone, Benjamin denied that the anti-Semitic cartoon of  The Times was anti-Semitic

The popularity of the GP hit a high of 19% before falling back. The reaction of the The Times, Mail, Sun & Telegraph was predictable. They launched frenzied attacks on Polanski labelling him an anti-Semite and they did it with cartoons and caricatures which were themselves anti-Semitic! The irony was lost on them as today ‘anti-Semitism’ is not about Jews.

The Zionist Board of Deputies was silent about these attacks. They were more interested Polanski’s criticism of Israel. In  the same way as they had remained silent about Boris Johnson’s racist, anti-Semitic novel, 72 Virgins.


Polanski is Jewish. However that was not good enough for the Board of Deputies who, alone of party leaders, they refused to invite to their demonstration against ‘anti-Semitism’. The Board was however more than happy to invite ‘gas ‘em' Farage of Reform who spent his youth tormenting fellow Jewish pupils with chants of ‘Hitler was right’. Farage is a supporter of Israel and Zionism and is therefore kosher.

The media cartoons included all the traditional anti-Semitic caricatures of Jews - big noses, grasping, leering, lecherous features. It was the stuff of Julius Streicher’s Der Sturmer.

Zionists in the GP have organised primarily around Jewish Greens which was founded by Elise Benjamin, a former Oxford City councillor. A new group, Greens Against Anti-Semitism [GAA], a mirror image of Labour Against Anti-Semitism, which led the ‘anti-Semitism’ smear campaign in the Labour Party, also surfaced with Benjamin being at the centre of the Zionist spider web of anti-Semitism allegations.

Despite saying the Jewish Greens should be consulted about a Zionism is Racism motion Benjamin takes great offence at the suggestion that people who work with Jewish groups might want to check out whether they are Zionists and racists before doing so. It's called having your cake and eating it or getting the best of both worlds. As Jews they want a veto over policy opposing Zionism and Israel but take great offence at the idea that Jews have any responsibility for what the Zionists and Israel are doing to the Palestinians.

Benjamin has poured her heart out to the press about ‘anti-Semitism’. She found a ready audience in the Jewish Chronicle. She said of the rise in support for the GP and its influx of new members that “It feels very hollow – almost like a bereavement,” referring to the party’s surge in the polls.

A strange sentiment for someone who was devoted to the GP but then Benjamin’s main concern was defending her beloved ‘Jewish’ State.

Benjamin described how, after being in the GP for more than 30 years, she had ‘bittersweet feelings even as fellow activists anticipate a historic breakthrough in next week’s elections.’

Benjamin was involved in drawing up the party’s guidance on antisemitism, which she describes as comprehensive but with the recent surge in membership she called for an ‘urgent review of how to make our complaints process fit for purpose.’  Anti-Semitism is always wheeled out when Zionism and Israel are under discussion. What she really meant was how best to expel anti-Zionists as anti-Semites.

 “What we have is a small but noisy core of people who are very, very loud on just one issue and not interested in, for example, our policies on transport.”

Benjamin compared the language of opponents of Zionism to the far right which amongst other things demonstrates her own ignorance since most of the far right, like Tommy Robinson, love Zionism.

An example of the ‘anti-Semitism’ poor Benjamin had been experiencing was

“where someone has been telling me where my family are from and questioning – in a way that has been quite aggressive – the origins of my DNA and the very basis of how I identify.”

Comparing Israel and Zionism to the Nazis is definitely anti-Semitic and forbidden but comparing Muslims and the Palestinians to Nazis is perfectly fine. Even the word struggle means you are a Nazi because Hitler once used the word!! Hitler was also a teetotaller - are all teetotallers Nazis too!

To some people, using DNA to find out what your identity is, might sound a little bit Nazi-like. Especially when Benjamin used her DNA test to claim that she had the right to colonise Palestine. How dare anyone question the fact that maybe her antecedents were European not Palestinian?

The Guardian was one of the major papers behind the false anti-Semitism campaign in the Labour Party. Toying with chance of rerunning that playbook they noted the problem that 

Polanski’s mandate from members was so clear when he defeated Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns – two of the party’s four MPs – by 20,411 to 3,705 votes in a ballot of party members.

If Elise Benjamin wasn't such a fool she would know that Hitler too sought to equate opposing movements such as socialism and capitalism as equivalent - both controlled by Jews - there is no idiot like a Zionist idiot. This was the basis of  the World Jewish Conspiracy theory.

But despite the unwillingness of Green MPs to comment, the Guardian was able to uncover ‘some glimpses of dissent, albeit cryptic’ when a Norfolk Green councillor quit in March – launching an attack on Polanski’s focus on Palestine, and claiming he was speaking as one of “a very significant number of older, deeper Greens who are looking on in horror”. Adrian Ramsay ventured that he was “deeply sorry”.

“As a party we must adopt a strategy which unites long-term members & new supporters behind our core values,”

whilst omitting to tell people what those core values might be.

Just because a religion places Jerusalem at its centre doesn't mean that all its adherents are 'indigenous' - Christians and Muslims could also make the same claim. A religious attachment doesn't give you the right to expel those who actually live there

Benjamin loses no opportunity to try and pretend that it is not the Palestinians but Jews who are indigenous to Palestine.

Benjamin’s Twitter feed is a racist cesspit. She describes herself as an ‘indigenous Judean’, thus justifying the right of settlers to steal the land of Palestinians in the West Bank, which they call Judea and Samaria. She appears to believe that her DNA entitles her to rights in Palestine.

Nothing interests her like historical proof of ancient Jewish states, which in reality were city states at best. But even if they were fully fledged states in the sense we understand them today, that still wouldn’t give Benjamin the right to go to Palestine and steal someone else’s home.

Benjamin like most Zionists tries to have her cake and eat it. In Yiddish this is called a chutzpah. On the one hand Jews should be consulted at every stage before Palestinians suffering can be acknowledged let alone opposed. Yet on the other hand she resents Gay groups demanding that Jewish groups make their anti-Zionism clear. She resents that Zionists are no longer welcome in the progressive movement.

In a podcast titled Resistance to Antisemitism in the UK GP by David Hirsh’s London Centre of Contemporary Anti-Semitism, a Zionist propaganda body, Benjamin had a dialogue with Yvonne Maxwell, a former Labour councillor.

In a series of excerpts Benjamin called the GP’s Deputy Leader, Mothin Ali, an anti-Semite and said 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 GP winning a parliamentary by-election, she said ‘I'm just not able to celebrate because 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).’

'Lyin' Laura Eccott - co-chair of the GPC

Benjamin’s emoting was no surprise because for Zionists loyalty to their racist state surpasses their commitment to anything else. All of these are grounds for Benjamin’s expulsion but she is being protected by members of the GP Council and its co-chair, ‘lyin’ Laura Eccott.

Benjamin called supporters of the Palestinians and anti-Zionists in the GP ‘racist cranks’, a case of self-projection.

Benjamin justifies and excuses Israel’s rape, torture and violence against the Sumud Flotilla members. She does this by retweeting Zionist propagandist Daniel Sugarman who refers to Israel’s ‘brief detention’ of the flotilla members without mentioning the torture, rape and extreme violence used against them.



Israel, from the start of its attack on Gaza, created a false atrocity propaganda narrative as a way of justifying the genocide. Instead of October 7 being an attempt to capture Israeli hostages in order to exchange them for thousands of Palestinian hostages, it was portrayed as a second holocaust.

And according to Benjamin there is no genocide because it is a war. A war on thousands of babies and children.

The first example of atrocity propaganda was the 40 beheaded babies hoax that came from Netanyahu’s office. Israel’s Social Security Institute documented that just one Israeli baby, Mila Cohen, was killed and that was accidentally.

Benjamin repeats stories which have been debunked such as the Israeli woman who had a breast cut off which Hamas militants then played football with.

Benjamin quotes uncritically the far-right Andrew Fox of the Islamophobic Henry Jackson Society.

The Zionists went to town on the fictional mass rapes. They too have now been discredited but racists like Benjamin are still running with these stories.

Benjamin loves portraying Israeli casualties of October 7 but not the thousands of dead Palestinians. Liel Hetzroni from Kibbuts Be'eri was not burned by Hamas but the IDF. General Hiram ordered Israeli tanks to shell houses with Israeli captives inside in order to kill their captors. They also killed the captives by putting into operation the Hannibal Directive.

This follows a well worn colonial narrative, that the natives are savage sexual predators. In The Southern Rape and Lynching Complex Amy Phillips writes that ‘the justification typically proffered (for lynching a man) was that the victim had raped a white woman.’ This is exactly what Benjamin is doing, providing a justification for Israel’s very real rape of Palestinian men and women.


When the first Israeli hostage, Yocheved Lifshitz was released she turned to grip the hand of her Hamas captor and said ‘shalom’ (peace). When asked why at a press conference Lifshitz said that after initial violence her Hamas captors had shown “care” and “gentleness”.

This was seen as a public relations disaster. The worker who arranged the press conference, Avi Shoshan, was placed on forced leave and forced to resign or face dismissal. Since then Israel has ensured that no one who is released is able to speak freely about their actual experiences or not without difficult. The truth is irrelevant to these people. Everything is propaganda.


Benjamin is particularly obsessed with the Nova festival that was taking place near the Gaza fence. Except that the majority of the festival goers were killed by Israeli Apache helicopters that ‘emptied their bellies’ and then returned to base to reload with ammunition. Ha'aretz reported that:

According to a police source, an investigation of the incident also shows that an IDF fighter helicopter that arrived at the scene from the Ramat David base fired at the terrorists and apparently also hit some of the celebrants who were at the scene.

Because Ha'aretz had printed the truth, Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi proposed that the government end its advertisements in Ha'aretz.

Defense minister confirms army orders to kill Israelis on 7 October

Yet we know from the Israeli Southern District Prosecutor Moran Gaz, who was responsible for handling sexual offenses that there would be no rape prosecutions because there were no victims. Gaz stated that:

“Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to prove these crimes. In the end, we don’t have complainants. What was reported in the media compared to what will ultimately be established will look very different—either because the victims were murdered or because women who were raped are unwilling to come forward. 

“We reached out to women’s rights organizations and requested cooperation. They told us no one had contacted them. ... 

“In this area, I would temper expectations. I know the public is expecting action and understands the need to address the horrific sexual offenses and assaults that occurred, but the vast majority of these cases won’t meet the evidentiary threshold in court, and the criticism will ultimately fall on the prosecution.”

Throughout Gaz assumed that there were rapes but by her own admission there was no proof that they ever occurred..

Benjamin’s focus on the 300 Israelis who died at Nova contrasts sharply with the fact that she has nothing whatever to say about the genocide in Gaza. Not one word or retweet about the deliberate shooting of Palestinian children by Israeli soldiers or the burying alive of Palestinian children witnessed by American Jewish Dr Perlmutter.

Dr Mark Perlmutter witnessed burying alive of children

The most important boost to the rape narrative was the New York Times article Screams Without Words. It was almost immediately discredited by the Intercept, Electronic Intifada and other outlets. Even the NYT’s flagship Daily podcast refused to carry the story.

For example a spokesman for Kibbutz Be’eri specifically denied that 3 women who were killed there had been raped, as alleged by the NYT. Gail Abdush, the ‘woman in Black’ was also alleged by the NYT to have been raped. Her family denied this.

Elise Benjamin’s Racist Rant

The video above consists of the highlights of Benjamin’s racist conversation. Below are the times they occur. It is clear that Benjamin is a Genocide denier and a genocide justifier. The question is whether Zack Polanski is going to live up to his promise to exclude genocide deniers from the GP.

8.15  Benjamin refers to the ‘terrible appalling’ views of Mothin Ali – she agrees he is anti-Semitic and that she will walk out of a room if he is there

9.10  Benjamin refers to the attack of Mothin and others on the Leeds Rabbi - she doesn't mention the Rabbi went to Gaza to kill Palestinians as part of the IDF

10.06  A Tory Zionist complains that all the Zionists he knows are on the right and he wants Zionists to be on all wings of the political spectrum!  It's strange that people on the left are no longer enamoured with an apartheid genocidal state!

11.36 - Recent Green victories leave Benjamin with a hollow feeling. She can't feel good over them given how the GP is developing.

13.30  Benjamin lets slip that she is on the National Committee of the Friends of Standing Together which is confirmation that they are a normalisation group and Zionist.

14.30 Benjamin’s attack on Lubna Speitan for speaking at the Al Quds rally doesn't mention what she said. It's McCarthyist guilt by association.

18.50  The worst give away is when she says of Noam Chomsky 'I feel like he is a traitor'. 

Who is he a traitor to? Obviously the Jews. It is no different from the National Front calling us race traitors. We are traitors to our racial kith and kin because being loyal to 'the Jews' is more important than universal values. This marks Benjamin out as a racist like nothing else does.

Israel’s VILEST Crime Yet - The Evidence Is Overwhelming

Benjamin’s enthusiasm for making false allegations about Palestinian rape is in contrast to her attempts to deny that Israel has raped Palestinian prisoners despite the fact that a mass rape was caught on video in Sdei Teiman. The rapists then went on Israel’s Channel 14 to boast of their exploits.

Military Advocate General, Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, who leaked the video of the rape was forced to resign. She was then prosecuted whereas the rapists were readmitted to the IDF. Netanyahu called the whole episode a ‘blood libel’.

Benjamin makes sick ‘jokes’ about the sexual torture of Palestinian prisoners who have been subject to rape by dogs, and completely ignores the copious evidence of the UN Report about Israel’s use of Sexual Torture and Gender-Based Violence.


 

The Zionists argue that it is impossible to train dogs to rape human beings. However Palestinians say they have been raped. Who should we believe? They are unlikely to make such allegations, given the shame involved, if it were not true. There have been repeated allegations of dog rape.

As Nicholas Kristof’s article in the NYT The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians proved rape by dogs can happen and is happening. Kristoff took evidence from 14 Palestinians who had been raped and subject to sexual torture. But for Benjamin it’s a joke.

The rape of human beings also happened in Chile under General Pinochet. Ingrid Olderöck, an open Nazi, was a major in the Chilean secret police DINA. Known as the Woman of the Dogs she trained dogs to rape prisoners.

The evidence of those tortured should not be questioned. An article from India Today settles the question. It is clearly possible to train a dog to rape a human being but Benjamin prefers sick jokes to criticising her beloved ‘Jewish’ state. However when it comes to Israeli allegations of rape by Palestinians Benjamin is all ears.

Benjamin is at the centre of GAA, which organised the filibustering of the Zionism is Racism motion at the Spring Conference, as The Canary showed. Benjamin’s messages

lay bare a strategy of procedural sabotage, smear‑by‑accusation, cynical weaponisation of antisemitism, an apparent closeness to UK Lawyers For Israel and even genocide denial:

The messages, which date from the months leading up to Spring Conference, show Benjamin... Craig – actively plotting to derail the motion Zionism Is Racism, a motion that would formally commit the GP to an anti‑Zionist position:

 


Even Zack Polanski is an antisemite

The leaked conversations also show Benjamin reaching for the label ‘antisemite’ with a promiscuity that makes a mockery of genuine anti‑racism. The list of her targets, named directly in the chat, included:

§  The Canary.

§  Jewish anti‑Zionist campaigner Tony Greenstein.

§  GP councillor and YouTuber Kernow Damo.

§  Anti‑racist social media account Bladeofthesun.

§  American streamers Hasan Piker and Cenk Uyghur.

§  The Palestine Solidarity Campaign and its former director Ben Jamal.

§  Rapper and activist Lowkey.

§  Zack Polanski. 

The Jewish Chronicle has played its part in all of this. As Alan Rusbridger wrote it is a paper which refuses to disclose who actually owns it.

The latest victim of the JC is Adam Morgan, a Green councillor. His offence? Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany. The Jewish Chronicle asserted that

According to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism... comparing Israeli policy to that of the Nazis is an explicit example of contemporary Jew-hate.

This is precisely why the IHRA, which conflates anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism and which renders Palestinians invisible, is not fit for purpose. The Young Green conference has just voted to replace the IHRA with guidance informed by Jewish anti-Zionist and anti-racist scholarship.

The motion stated that the IHRA:

is unfit for purpose and should not be reinstated: it cites politically loaded authorities as neutral scholars, frames anti-Zionism as presumptively suspicious, presents a definition of Zionism that makes no mention of the Palestinian Nakba, explicitly instructs disciplinary bodies to use it, and is now out of date with Green Party policy on Gaza.

There is no war crime that Benjamin isn’t capable of defending. Destruction of hospitals, torture, rape. You name it and she will happily blame Hamas but never blame Israel for its perpetration of mass war crimes.


 

Benjamin may not be concerned about Genocide in Gaza but when it comes to BDS she is very concerned that Palestinians will be put out of work! No matter that Israel is barring nearly all Palestinians from working in Israel. This is what defenders of Apartheid said 40 years ago when opposing the Boycott of South Africa. Benjamin cannot but help replay the best tunes of the Apartheid defenders.

The allegation that Hamas was based in Gaza's hospitals is totally unfounded and not backed by any medical charities, doctors or the UN - this is a justification for the destruction of all Gaza's hospitals and health sector - it is Genocide Justification and in itself should result in Benjamin's expulsion from the Green Party

Indeed 90 years ago when most Jews were boycotting Nazi Germany opponents of the Boycott, who were mainly Zionists, said it would hurt the Jews of Germany and proscription provoke the Nazis into retaliating against them.

Benjamin, whilst decrying all ‘conspiracy theories’ isn’t afraid to invent a few herself. Apparently Palestine Solidarity Campaign had advance warning of October 7 which is why they held a demonstration on that day!

But if she doesn’t like PSC then Benjamin loves the far-right UK Lawyers for Israel who protested vigorously when Starmer cut the amount of arms we were sending to kill Palestinians by about 8%.

Benjamin did however defend the openly far-right Zionist group Our Fight when its use of Union Jack imagery was questioned. As The Canary observed:

Our Fight is a hardline organisation directed by former Spiked columnist Mark Birbeck. It deploys militaristic, British‑fascist aesthetics redolent of Britain First and the EDL, as well as organising delegations of non‑Jewish supporters to travel to the Zionist entity in occupied Palestine.

British fascist organisations have traditionally spread their message by marching with Union Jacks. But for Benjamin the Union Jack, or the Butcher’s Apron is ‘our flag’.

As the attacks on Palestine solidarity supporters have grown in the past three years, with Police attacking demonstrations and arresting activists, Benjamin has given full support to the allegations which Suella Braverman originally made, that demonstrations against genocide are ‘hate marches.’

As these X posts show Elise Benjamin is a hard-core racist Zionist. She may still pretend to be a liberal Zionist but scratch a liberal Zionist and the racism just pours out.

Benjamin subscribes to the fiction that Palestinians living in Israel are equal citizens whereas this is an egregious lie. Adalah, the Legal Centre of Israeli Arabs, has documented over 65 Israeli laws discriminating against Arab Israelis. The Jewish Nation State Law explicitly states that only Israeli Jews have the right to self-determination in Israel. Netanyahu proclaims that Israel is a state of its Jewish citizens not all citizens yet Benjamin still subscribes to this racist myth.

For example Arabs are barred from 93% of Israeli state land. Over half the Arab villages in the Negev are therefore ‘unrecognised’ because they are seen as squatting on State i.e. Jewish State land. No Jewish settlement would be so described. The result of this is a continuing spate of demolition of Arab villages as the inhabitants are shunted into shanty towns.

Adalah which represented the villagers of Umm al Hiran in the Negev stated:

Adalah sees the demolition of Umm al-Hiran and forced displacement of its residents as an act of extreme racism, embodying Israel's colonialist land policies with the backing of the entire Israeli court system. Israel is moving forward with the destruction of Umm al-Hiran in a plan – reminiscent of the darkest of regimes such as apartheid-era South Africa – to build a new Jewish-only town on its ruins.

Benjamin is an ethnic cleansing denier. She seizes on anything, however untrue, which purports to ‘disprove’ the Nakba, the forcible expulsion of ¾ million Palestinian refugees in 1948. Even though this is documented by Israeli historians and even though Israel’s authorities have gone to extensive lengths to ensure that Israeli archives of the period remain closed she clings to Nakba Denial.

Anyone reading Adam Raz’s article in Ha'aretz, ‘Terror Was Needed to Make Arabs Leave' - What the Israeli Army Did in 1948, Revealed’ can have no doubt about the Nakba, which is now being repeated in Gaza. For Benjamin to dispute what historians like Ilan Pappe and Benny Morris say puts here in the same category as a holocaust denier.

One thing Benjamin loves though is tame Arab collaborators. This is no surprise. During the holocaust the Zionist movement provided 2/3 of the collaborators who worked for the Nazi appointed Jewish Councils in Europe. according to Isaiah Trunk’s Judenrat.

And if all else fails then Benjamin indulges in a little whataboutery. Why are you always talking about Israel’s genocide when there are other genocides.

It will be interesting to see if the GP Council sees anything amiss in the racism of Elise Benjamin. Perhaps GP members should start filing complaints to see how Lying Laura Eccott wriggles out of imposing a 4.8   Suspension. See
