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.

Yeah, it'd be nice if Polanski could come out with a stronger statement about antisemitic candidates than this. I don't know if publicly rebuking Ali is the right move though, but something should be done. One of the deputy leaders saying the disciplinary process has been weaponised and telling them to seek legal advice (TERF tactics) while they have ongoing cases just isn't a very good look.

It's just bad comms, really. Who is that 'it's just a handful' comment for? What does it say that isn't already implicit? It does nothing to address people's concerns.

Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

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)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

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.
