Greens disgraced by suspension

Dear Zack,

When you apologised
to Jeremy Corbyn for saying that no Jew could vote Labour and said that complaints
of anti-Semitism were weaponised to damage him and that

lots and lots of examples.. (are) very clearly
criticism of the Israeli government and the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and isn’t
anti-Semitism.”

it was as if the heavens had fallen in. When you doubled
down and said
that there was a ‘perception of unsafety’
among British Jews, the Zionist lobby went apoplectic.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism spoke of its ‘shock’ that you’d said that the antisemitism allegations against Corbyn “were essentially bogus.”  

Jake Wallis Simons, ex-Jewish Chronicle Editor & Soft Porn Novelist Says Polanski is the Foremost Exponent of Antisemitism

The Jewish Chronicle was as bad. Former
editor Stephen Pollard called you a ‘court Jew’. Another former editor, Jake Wallis Simons
said you
were ‘”probably British politics foremost mouthpiece for antisemitism’.

The fact that you are
Jewish is no bar to attacks by the Zionists and their supporters in the British
media. The Daily Mail, which supported
Hitler in the 30s and campaigned against the admission of Jewish refugees from
Nazi Germany, is to the fore in these attacks.

Polanski on BBC Breakfast TV Accepts the ‘Antisemitism’ Narrative Instead of Challenging the Framing

I am therefore
surprised that you now seem to be backtracking and repeating all Corbyn’s errors.
On BBC
Breakfast, when challenged about newspaper reports of anti-Semitism in the
Green Party [GP] the first thing you should have done is to ask why the same racist
Islamophobic press are concerned about anti-Semitism but no other form of
racism.

You failed to point out
the history of these ‘anti-Semitism’ attacks in the Labour Party and how it led
to the support for genocide of Keir Starmer. You are in danger of taking the
same path as Corbyn. There is no appeasing Zionism and the genocide supporting
BBC.

Saying ‘one anti-Semite
is one too many’ is the same trite slogan that Tom Watson and Corbyn mouthed.
How about one Islamophobe or one racist is too many? How about using the
opportunity to call out racist attacks on asylum seekers?

Was it too much to say to the BBC that it is no
coincidence that the GP is being attacked as ‘anti-Semitic’ because of its
stance on Palestine? That just as ‘anti-Semitism’ disappeared as soon as
Corbyn, a noted Palestine supporter, was expelled, so it is your statements on
Palestine that are behind these ‘anti-Semitism’ attacks.

No-one was more pleased than me when you
overwhelmingly defeated
the conservative Establishment Greens, Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay last year. Under them the GP had adopted
the IHRA
definition of anti-Semitism which labelled opponents of Zionism as ‘anti-Semitic’.

Particularly welcome was your willingness to do what
no other party leader was willing to do and that was to call
Israel’s holocaust in Gaza a genocide.

Nothing has been more shameful than the refusal to name
the murder of
hundreds of thousands of people as genocide. The destruction of 90% of
buildings, the deliberate
starvation of its population, the flour
massacre and killing of starving people queuing for food and the ecocide
– the deliberate destruction of agriculatural land. All of this is a genocide as
per the Genocide
Convention.

In August 2024 Mark Smith, a Foreign Office Official
resigned. His resignation
statement said
that that:

“Ministers claim that the UK has one of the most
‘robust and transparent’ arms export licensing regimes in the world, however
this is the opposite of the truth.”

Every single
international human rights organisation – Amnesty
International, Human
Rights Watch, Israel’s own B’tselem
and Physicians for
Human Rights, the Association
of Genocide Scholars and the Lemkin
Institute, named after Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term ‘genocide’, has
called this out as a Genocide. Yet Starmer, Lammy and Cooper have instead closed
the Foreign Office unit that collates information on Israel’s human rights
abuses.

 As a fully
cleared officer raising serious concerns of illegality in this Department, to
be disregarded in this way is deeply troubling. It is my duty as a public servant to raise this.

 

The first response to your election victory was to subject
you to a series of anti-Semitic caricatures by Israel’s supporters. The Labour
Party cartoon emulated Svengali,
the Reform
Party and the Daily Mail did likewise.

Having failed to attack you as a Jew, the
billionaire press and their Zionist friends decided that they would employ the
same smear campaign that they had run so successfully against Jeremy Corbyn in
the Labour Party.  

The sharks are circling and you face two choices –
either you appease the supporters of genocide, apartheid and ethnic cleansing
or you face them down. If you do the former you will end up either like Corbyn
or neutered politically.

Appeasing Zionism is like expecting the lamb to lie
down with a ravenous wolf. Supporters of Zionism are not open to reason because
genocidal racism has no rationale or reason apart from the ‘logic’ of ethnic
cleansing.

So when you said you were being ‘nuanced’ in
differentiating between different forms of Zionism you were equivocating and
retreating, trying to reconcile the irreconcilable.

Historically all varieties of Zionism agreed on a
Jewish Supremacist state. They differed only on how to achieve it.

Today Labour Zionism is all but dead. The far right
have an overwhelming majority in Israel’s Knesset. Even the supporters of Brit
Shalom, Zionism’s peace wing ended
up supporting a Jewish State. Many, like Arthur Ruppin and Chaim Kalvarisky, aimed
to persuade the Arabs to peacefully accept Zionist colonisation. Brit Shalom disappeared in 1933,
never having had more than 100 supporters. It was the ideas of Jabotinsky, the
founder of Revisionist Zionist (now Likud) and his essay The Iron Wall
which won out. 

My readers have a general idea of the history of
colonisation in other countries. I suggest that they consider all the
precedents with which they are acquainted, and see whether there is one
solitary instance of any colonisation being carried on with the consent of the
native population. There is no such precedent.

The native populations, civilised or uncivilised, have
always stubbornly resisted the colonists, irrespective of whether they were
civilised or savage.

And
it made no difference whatever whether the colonists behaved decently or not..

Those who fondly remember the Cultural Zionism of Ahad Ha’am, who died in
1927, are clinging to an illusion. Zionism was a settler colonial movement whose
goal was a Jewish majority. That meant ethnic cleansing and the Nakba.

When ethnic cleansing is not sufficient then
genocide takes over, as in Gaza. The same was true in Hitler’s Germany. The
Nazis made every effort to expel Germany’s Jews from 1933‑39 but when that
failed about a
third were killed.

Zionism is the guiding ideology of the Israeli
state. There are numerous Zionist organisations, most of them under the
umbrella of the World Zionist Organisation.

Zionism is not what is inside the head of some
fragrant teenager with an identity crisis from Golders Green. Zionism is what
is done to the Palestinians.

Israeli nationalists chant ‘death to Arabs’ during procession through Jerusalem

Zionism has inevitably meant the dehumanisation of
the Palestinians. In  the words of
Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, they are human animals the same phrase that Himmler, the architect of the Final Solution called
the Jews.

Any ethno-religious state will seek to ‘purify’ the
nation of non-believers. That inevitably means that anyone of a different
religion will be an untermenschen. Today
in Israel mobs chant
‘death to the Arabs’. In the 1930s
mobs used to chant similar
slogans calling for the death of Jews.

Palestinian Children are Barred by Soldiers from School in Masser Yaffa on the West Bank

In Gaza thousands have been murdered in the
cruellest ways possible.  The enforced
starvation is reminiscent of the Nazi
starvation of the Jewish ghettos of Poland. The running
over of thousands of people by tanks – ‘everything
squirts out’ testified one soldier Guy Zakan.  

The burying of children alive by bulldozers as
American Jewish Dr Perlmutter testified to. The refusal
by Israel to admit painkillers so that Palestinian children had to undergo
painful amputations without anaesthetic. The bombing of tent
encampments outside hospitals
and in so-called safe areas such as Masawari and the burning alive of
children and their parents in those tents.

Israel’s VILEST Crime Yet – The Evidence Is Overwhelming

There is no abomination that Israel is not capable
of. Alsatian dogs have been trained
to rape prisoners in the torture camp of Sde Teiman. This horror first surfaced
in Pinochet’s Chile under Ingrid Olderock, a
descendant of Nazis and herself a Nazi.

The Use of Rape by Israel as a Weapon of War

The Suspension of Green Party Candidates

None of this prevents the GP’s Zionists such as Elise
Benjamin and Andrée
Friez from defending Israel and accusing their opponents of
‘anti-Semitism’.

What is animating ‘anti-Semitism’ is the perceived
support of Jews for Genocide in Gaza. It is the Board of Deputies, which claims
that it represents all Jews, whose support for Genocide is such that it punished
the few dissidents in its ranks, which fuels anti-Semitism.

Naturally such claims cause political confusion as many
people then believe that Jews are to blame for the Genocide. Who can blame them?
Not everyone understands the difference between Zionism and being Jewish or
that those responsible are the Western governments that supply the weapons that
enable the genocide.

Most if not all the social media posts that are
being singled out misspeak at worst. They are not anti-Semitic. Anti-Semitism is not opposition to Israel or
Zionism, however badly expressed. It is hostility or prejudice against Jews as
Jews. The OED
definition.

Unless there is concrete proof that a GP candidate
is genuinely hostile to Jews as Jews or espouses holocaust denial then they
should not be called anti-Semitic or barred from standing. You, Zack, have a
duty as a Jewish person, to stand up for the mainly Black or Asian candidates
who are being hounded by the feral British press and the racist anti-Palestinian
Jewish Chronicle.

Three-quarters of the 22 GP candidates who have been
suspended are Black or Asian. Every one of these candidates should be
reinstated immediately.

I recently met Saiqa
Ali, GP candidate in Lambeth who has been attacked by Labour councillors as
‘anti-Semitic’. Instead of defending her the GP suspended her. This is
unacceptable. Saiqa is not anti-Semitic.

Likewise Mark Adderley, GP candidate in Croydon, has
been suspended
after being attacked by the corrupt racist Steve Reed MP, part of the Labour
Together cabal.

Not a shred of evidence has been produced to suggest
that Mark is anti-Semitic. His social media posts are about Israel not Jews. Israel
is not a Jew. He should be reinstated. Your duty as Party Leader is to stand by
your candidates when they are attacked not do as Corbyn did and throw them to
the wolves. Saiqa and Mark are not being attacked because they are racists but
because they are not racists.

It says everything that needs to be said that racist  MP Steve Reed is Congratulating Zack Polanski on the Green Party’s Witchhunt of anti-Zionists

They are being attacked by the Islamophobic tabloids
and MPs such as Reed. They are being aided by GP members such as Mark Strong,
the Brighton Zionist who filibustered the Zionism is Racism motion. It is
Zionist not anti-Zionist and anti-Genocide Greens who should be investigated.
This is a test of your mettle. If you fail to stand up to the Zionists now then
you will lose credibility.

Many prominent Greens like Laura Eccott are strong
supporters of the Israeli state, despite its Nazi-like genocide in Gaza. It is the
Zionist Greens whose membership should be suspended. If supporters of Palestine
continue to be suspended then your own commitment to oppose the Genocide will
be called into question. ‘Anti-Semitism’ is the go to weapon of supporters of
Genocide.

Israeli Soldiers Shoot A Prisoner At Point Blank Range

At the moment you are not living
up to what you said in your New Statesman interview.
You are taking the path of least resistance. You will find, as Corbyn did, that
the Zionists will not be happy until not only the policy but the leader is
changed.

I’M STICKING With The GREEN PARTY Despite Them SUSPENDING My HUSBAND

The Case of Mark Adderley

The case
of Mark Adderley is a prime example of a false accusation of anti-Semitism.
Mark was the target of The Times and the anti-Semitic,
Steve Reed MP. If words mean anything then Mark must be reinstated. His charge
sheet read as if it was written by Netanyahu.

The basis of the decision to suspend Mark were 9
categories of social media posts and screenshots. They have nothing to do with
anti-Semitism. The racist jerk who compiled this McCarthyist tract, should be suspended
not Mark Adderley.

Charge
No: 1 – ‘Propagated conspiracy theories that war criminal Netanyahu worked
for Jeffery Epst ein.’

Epstein was clearly running
a honey trap, enticing public figures in sexual scandal and blackmail. See for
example US media barely touches Epstein links with
Israeli intelligence.
Epstein was close to Robert Maxwell, the father of Ghislaine Maxwell, his girlfriend.

It
is a fact that Maxwell worked for Israeli Intelligence which is why he had the equivalent
of an Israeli state funeral. But even if Mark is wrong, what the fuck has this
got to do with anti-Semitism?

Charge No: 2 – Propagated conspiracy theories online
suggesting that all members of the Labour Government were receiving bribes from
Israel.

It would be interesting to know who in the Labour
government hasn’t received money from
a Zionist donor such as Trevor
Chinn?  But what has this got to do
with anti-Semitism? Once again Israel is not a Jew.

Charge
No: 3 – Called Labour MP’s “Fuckwads in ties”.

Fuckwad I am told means a ‘contemptible, obnoxious, or foolish person’.  It seems reasonable description of most
Labour MPs but again it is not anti-Semitic.

Charge
No: 4 – Propagated conspiracy theories online. suggesting that NATO was
“instrumental” in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This is where the ‘anti-Semitism’ campaign leads. To
an attack on freedom of speech. The idiot who drew up this charge has clearly
never heard of Professor John Mearsheimer of
Chicago University nor Oliver Stone’s Ukraine on Fire. This is no
conspiracy theory. The US funded far-right militias to the tune of £5 billion the
2014 colour revolution in Ukraine which overthrew the elected President Yanukovych.

 

Charge
5: – Made antisemitic comments comparing Israel to Nazi Germany.

There is nothing anti-Semitic about comparing Israel
to Nazi Germany. Was Israel Shahak, former Professor at the Hebrew University
and a child survivor of the Warsaw ghetto and Belsen concentration camp anti-Semitic
when he said
that ‘the Nazis made me afraid to be a
Jew and the Israelis make me ashamed to be a Jew’?

The only group of Jews who welcomed Hitler to power was the Zionist Leadership and Movement 

Was the former Israeli General Amiram Levin who likened
Israel’s military control of the West Bank to Nazi Germany also being
anti-Semitic?

How about Shlomo Shmelzman, a survivor of
the Warsaw Ghetto, who stated
that:

In my
childhood I have suffered fear, hunger and humiliation when I passed from the
Warsaw Ghetto, through labor camps, to
Buchenwald. Today, as a citizen of Israel, I cannot accept the systematic
destruction of cities, towns, and refugee camps… I hear too many familiar
sounds today…. I hear “dirty Arabs” and I remember “dirty Jews.” I hear about
“closed areas” and I remember ghettos and camps. I hear “two-legged beasts” and
I remember “Untermenschen.”… Too many things in Israel remind me of too many
things from my childhood.

According to the racist Green who compiled this
charge sheet Shmelzman is another anti-Semitic holocaust survivor?

Stephen Kapos, Holocaust Survivor From Budapest Says That Gaza is a holocaust

Perhaps holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos is also anti-Semitic
for comparing what is happening in Gaza to what happened under Nazi Germany?

There are all too many comparisons that can be drawn
between Israel and Nazi Germany. From the obsession with Jewish racial purity
to the pogroms in the West Bank, the genocide in Gaza to the torture camps and
the 60%
of Israelis  who believe the
population of Gaza should be exterminated. Nazi Germany is the benchmark of
human evil and Israel is in close competition.

Synagogue in Tehran ‘completely destroyed’ in US-Israeli attack

Charge 6 – Made
antisemitic comments suggesting that Israel was responsible for terror attacks
against Jews.

This accusation demonstrates why the person who
compiled these charges isn’t fit to be a road sweeper let alone accuse others.
Israel bombed and
destroyed a Teheran synagogue just three weeks ago.

In January 1951 Israeli agents bombed the Masuda
Shemtov synagogue in Baghdad. It is widely known and it is covered in a number
of books notably Three
Worlds by Avi Shlaim, Emeritus Professor at St. Anthony’s College, Oxford
University. I guess Ms Eccott or whoever is as distinguished as the foremost
historian in Britain of Palestine.

Charge 7: – Propagated conspiracy
theories online suggesting that Charlie Kirk may have been killed by Israel.

I don’t know if there is any truth in this but it
was so widely believed that Netanyahu went
on TV to deny it! Sometimes conspiracies turn out to be true and the fool
who wrote these charges is incapable of distinguishing between a conspiracy and
a conspiracy theory. 

Charge 8: – Propagated
conspiracy theories online blaming Israel for the Bondi Beach terror attack.

It would not
be the first time Israel has mounted a false flag attack abroad against Jews.
Either way it isn’t anti-Semitic.

Charge 9: –
Called the UK Home Secretary a “puppet of the Zionist State” and
“Fucking Shameful”, as well as adding 
“You could seek to soften
your right-wing, fascistic-sympathising, Zionist-f*cking cosying up. Here’s
your moment Labour and you’re not taking it”

What is the problem with this?   It is a matter of opinion. If anyone should
face a disciplinary hearing and be suspended it is the McCarthyite fool who
drew up these charges.

My Own 
Suspension from the Green Party

When I joined the Green Party the mass media was
already running with the story that Labour ‘anti-Semites’ were now joining the
GP. First the Jewish Chronicle then The Telegraph did hit pieces on me.

Brighton & Hove GP’s Establishment were also unhappy.
Even before I joined the Green Discussion Group I’d been the subject of
discussion. When I criticised the i360 disaster councillor
Sue Shanks took exception to my remarks:

can we stop Greenstein slagging us off?! Who
moderates this??

And then added

‘tony greenstein never agrees with anything. I
will publicly defend that administration if needed!

Needless to say moderator Joe Skeaping jumped to
attention.

Borrowing £40m in order to fund an elevator to the
sky is a touchy subject given that the Council has to pay £2.2m a year back
until 2040. See my blog.

Skeaping, who is the local party chair removed me
from the Greens Discussion group for questioning the motives of a Zionist who
objected to discussing Palestine and the Iran war. Skeaping did not dissent
from my suggestion that this had been discussed with others prior to my
removal.

Skeaping is currently the subject
of a complaint of bullying by a neurodiverse queer woman and member of the
local Executive, Syra Marshall. Skeaping allegedly retaliated by getting other
members to make a complaint against her getting her suspended – she has had no
chance to defend herself after 3 months.

Further allegations against
Skeaping include deleting messages that should have been handed over following
a Subject Access Request, a criminal offence under s.137 of the Data Protection
Act.

I was suspended on April 16 for 11
words.

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

Despite sending 10 emails to Rossita Priestly, the
Complaints & Information Governance Officer I received no response. I
therefore decided last weekend to send a letter
to every member of the Green Party Council and finally received an email apologising
for having sent the wrong contact details. They are clearly overworked with all
the other suspensions.

In my letter I explain why I had been suspended on a
lie, in fact two lies. Up till now no one has explained the various forms of
suspension.  I am told though that a 4.8
suspension is a fast-track to expulsion.

So Zack the question is whether you are going to emulate
Corbyn and try to expel your way out of trouble by appeasing the Zionist
vultures?  People such as the rabid Jake Simons,
ex-editor of the Jewish discovered publishing fictitious press releases from
Netanyahu’s office by ‘journalist’ Elon Perry.

Or are you going to stand up to the GP Zionists and
genocide supporters, the Elise Benjamins and Andrée Friezes who are coordinating
their work in the GP with the Israeli Embassy? The JLM was working hand in hand with the Israeli
Embassy during Corbyn’s leadership and so are Benjamin and Frieze.

Can Polanski Be Trusted Not To Throw Mothin Ali Under the Bus to Please the Tabloids?

I wrote in February, The
Question is Whether Polanski Will Buckle Like Corbyn or Is He Made of a
Different Mettle? On the present evidence it appears that you are buckling.
Your Deputy Mothin Ali is under attack because there is nothing the Zionists hate more than
a Muslim Deputy.

Unless
you speak out against the McCarthyist Witchhunt and use your authority as
leader to put an end to the practice of trawling people’s social media in the
search for any hint of ‘anti-Semitism’ then you will have betrayed those who
voted Green at the Gorton & Denton by-election believing that your
opposition to the Genocide in Gaza was genuine.

You cannot
oppose Genocide in Gaza whilst saying nothing about the Zionist ideology that
motivates it. You cannot run with the Palestinian hares and hunt with the Zionist
hounds.

Anti-Semitism
today is a prejudice not a form of state racism. Nearly all the attacks on Jews
occur because people identify them with the perpetrators of Genocide. Who gives
them this idea?  The Zionists who purport
to oppose anti-Semitism.

The
decision is yours as to which path you take. But if the GP continues to target
and suspend Muslim candidates then you can forget their votes. Racism pays few
dividends.
