She also said:

“Israel must be eradicated. Even if it means killing every single Zionist”, as well as describing Zionists as “vermin. And vermin must be eradicated so they can’t harm children”.

She also made numerous references to the idea that Jews are obsessed with money and use it to control the world, for example:

Ion’s Threads account referred to “Jewish Nazis”, describing them as “the money grubbing thieves have built mountains of money over centuries that they use to buy their way in the world through the lowest and most corrupt individuals in high places”.

I don't think I need to explain that describing Jews as moneygrubbing vermin is straight-up old school racism. Her statements obviously go far beyond any valid criticism of Israel, its government or its supporters.

It's also possible that there are infiltrators. It's an open system compared to the other parties, and subject to manipulation by bad actors.

Now that their membership has grown so much, they'll have to add additional safeguards to prevent abuse of processes.

Part of the job of candidate selection is vetting them to make sure you are not making them a spokes person for your party. A random Green party member spouting off is one thing but when they are involved in an official capacity they speak for the party.

Unless you are suggesting this is some sort of dark false flag tactic by other parties to discredit the Greens which I really don't think it is.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
