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.

The best thing to do between now and the elections is to ignore any uncorroborated media reports about the Greens (or any other party). The propaganda is already pervasive. Most of the allegations will vaporise after May 7.

It's also instructive to look back at the allegations of antisemitism against Labour when Corbyn was leader. A large number of complaints was mentioned repeatedly in the press, without most outlets mentioning that they almost all came from one or two activists, and were proven to be false or at least unverifiable. And it later came out that the whole controversy was manufactured by Mandelson, McSweeney and others in the Labour Together faction who were maneuvering to drive the left out of Labour and put Starmer in.

Anyway, the Greens' disciplinary process doesn't involve Polanski. The Green Party isn't a dictatorship like Reform, or run by an opaque party bureaucracy like the Tories and Labour.

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.
