Two
Years Ago in Rochdale You Said that Gaza was the Main Issue – What Has Changed?
The Genocide is Still Continuing
In March 2024 at the count in the Rochdale
by-election, which Galloway won with a stunning 40% of the vote, he said
that Gaza was the main issue.
Arch-Zionist Luke Akehurst is Canvassing for Labour in Camden - is George Galloway Really Going to Help Her?
Now however the issue is not Gaza or Genocide or Zionism.
Galloway is reported as saying
that his decision to stand as a candidate in the Holborn and St Pancras
by-election is his differences with Zack Polanski over Ukraine and trans-rights.
Gaza and Israel’s blitzkrieg in the Middle East has been forgotten. It seems
that the real issue is George’s huge ego and his inability to stay out of the
limelight.
Chris Williamson was right to resign
as Deputy Leader of the Workers Party of Britain. The only choice in the
election is between Polanski of the Green Party and Sagal Abdi-Wali, of the Labour
Party. There is no other choice.
As The Standard said,
Polanski has gained a huge boost from the backing of Andrew Feinstein, the former
ANC MP and socialist who gained 7,312
votes in 2024 against the notorious liar, the unlamented Keir Starmer. Whereas
Andrew gained 18.9% of the vote Starmer, despite being the incumbent Prime
Minister, had a swing of 17.3% against him.
Polanski is clearly the anti-Genocide candidate standing
against Labour’s genocide supporting candidate. For Galloway to stand, when it
is clear he is going to get a derisory vote on a par with the 1.4% and 489
votes he obtained
in Tom Watson’s old seat of West Bromwich East in 2019, or perhaps the 0.5% and
164 votes that Peter Ford of the Workers Party obtained in the 2025 by-election
in Runcorn, demonstrates that Galloway’s hatred of the Green Party, or is it Polanski,
is greater than his hatred of the Labour Party.
1.4% may be the difference between Polanski winning
and losing. Galloway has always said that Palestine is for him the key issue
yet here he is threatening to help the party of genocide, the Labour Party, win
the election.
The reality is that Galloway’s primary concern has
always been himself. He has never subordinated his own ego to the greater good.
How can he be serious and say that trans rights is the main issue?This is an issue that divides the left. It is
an issue that the right-wing has campaigned on vociferously demonising anyone
who doesn’t fit into the binary of male or female.
Given the attacks of Trump, Sunak and the far-right
against transgender people one would expect anyone serious about left politics
not to join in trans-baiting.
George Galloway: Children shouldn’t be taught that gay relationships are “normal”. pic.twitter.com/GCZzL5kKcv
Galloway has always had a bad record on issues of
sexuality. In an interview with Novara Media Galloway said:
“I don’t want my children prematurely sexualised
at all, I don’t want them taught that some things are normal when their parents
don’t believe that they’re normal.”
He has opposed gay sex being treated as normal in
the context of sex education in schools.
He has also had the Tate brothers on his Moats show. Andrew and
Tristan Tate are notorious
for building a massive online following by promoting extreme misogyny,
hyper-masculinity, and luxury lifestyles, alongside facing criminal charges
including human trafficking, rape, and sexual exploitation.
It is no surprise that
Galloway finds the Tate brothers attractive, despite Andrew Tate being removed
from Big Brother in 2016 after a video showed him attacking a woman with a
belt.
The jury is out on
whether Galloway can even be described as on the left. He made his name as a
firebrand in Scotland, Chair of the Scottish Labour Party and the person who ousted
Roy Jenkins of the SDP from his Glasgow Hillhead seat in 1997. He has represented
4 different constituencies including Bradford West, Bethnal Green and Bow and
last of all Rochdale.
His attitude to refugees
and asylum seekers has been little different to the far-right. In May 2021
hundreds of Glaswegians prevented the thugs of Priti Patel’s snatch squads from
seizing and deporting refugees by surrounding their van. Nicola Sturgeon
supported them. But Galloway vented
his spleen instead against those who freed the refugees rather than the racist
Priti Patel and the Home Office:
“A devolved assembly has openly and unlawfully
defied the implementation of a UK government decision,”
Galloway indulged in what Mark Brown described
as ‘bilious refugee baiting.’
Galloway has always has been a bitter opponent of
Scottish devolution and independence. This ‘bilious unionism’ perhaps explains
his support for Brexit and his attempt to
stand for the Brexit Party of Nigel Farage. Although according to The Spectator
he has now
changed his mind and supports independence for Scotland.
At the time of the 2016 referendum over Brexit he
appeared on the same platform as Nigel Farage and compared
their relationship to that between Winston Churchill and Stalin. Galloway’s
high points – his confrontation
with US Senators over Iraq and the Rochdale by-election are unfortunately
matched by his low points such as support for the Brexit party in the 2019 European
elections.
Perhaps the only principle he has maintained
throughout his career is support for George Galloway. One can only hope that he
has second thoughts and doesn’t end up supporting the party of Genocide in
Gaza, the Labour Party.
I have therefor written an Open Letter to Galloway in the hope that he will reconsider his egotistical decision to stand.
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.
What is even more curious is that on the 23rd
June I received an email from Ms Priestley headed ‘Request for information
ahead of 2026b suspensions review - deadline 30th June 2026’ telling me that
the GPRC is reviewing all No Fault Suspensions on 30th June and that
the
GPRC want to hear from you if there is additional information you wish
GPRC to consider when reviewing your suspension. This might include any
mitigations you think could reduce the risks identified when you were
suspended. GPRC need to receive this information within sufficient time to
consider it before their NFS review meeting; therefore, the deadline
date for you to get the additional information to GPRC, is Tuesday 30th
June 2026.
If
the form signed by Lying Laura Eccott is to be believed, I was expelled on 7th
May and yet the Complaints/Governance Department handling the suspensions had
heard nothing by 23rd June when they asked me for further
submissions relatinh to my suspension. Either this is mind boggling incompetence
on the part of the head of the department Harry Clarke or the Complaints department
was deliberately kept in ignorance. If
so which is it and why?
Did you know that you can’t have a civil or secular marriage in Israel? https://t.co/3UNM8q0ehl
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
This is disingenuous @carolinelucas and you know it. In the original interview you said
"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… https://t.co/xS3HzmwVES
— Tony Greenstein tonygreenstein.com (@TonyGreenstein) July 1, 2026
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.’
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.
After I joined the
Green Party on March 31 I was the subject of articles in the Jewish
Chronicleand Telegraphwhose 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 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.
I will never attend a march fighting antisemitism, where Zack Polanski isn't invited but 'Gas the Jews' Nigel Farage is.
And well done to the over 2000 Jews who signed a petition to withdraw Farage's invite to this. https://t.co/8MOA5YYqtH
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
Indiscrimate boycotts end up harming the very people they're meant to help and risk weakening the very people opposing the current government. https://t.co/Ub3fKxN74B
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.
