The pro-Israel, so-called ‘Jewish Greens‘ group of the Green Party have followed their pro-genocide manoeuvres to block an anti-Zionism conference motion with an attack on the Canary. The group, which labelled the Greens’ Jewish party leader as ‘antisemitic’ for opposing genocide, successfully filibustered the “Zionism is Racism” motion tabled at the last party conference. Now it is trying to push through a motion condemning the Canary for covering their manoeuvres.
The group, better named ‘Greens for genocide’, has targeted the Canary’s coverage and in particular a guest article by anti-Zionist academic Prof David Miller. Miller is well known for establishing anti-Zionism as a legally-protected philosophy. Unsurprisingly, his thoroughly-sourced dissection of the group’s tactics to kill the anti-genocide motion pulls no punches.
The full, long-winded motion that the group wants the Greens’ conference to pass claims that the Canary’s coverage has been “badly evidenced or unevidenced” and implies, without evidence, that the coverage is misogynistic and will lead to antisemitism. Unsurprisingly, no lawsuits have been brought and no complaints lodged with regulator IMPRESS that the Canary is aware of. Instead, the group has opted for ‘trial by conference’.
I know this stuff is important, but I really wish that news outlets stopped reporting on motions tabled by a few rogue members of parties. Many people will see these headlines and think that this is a party policy or something like that.
If they support genocide and Israel those members should be fired but it seem this is another zionist org pretending to be jewish
What do you mean “pretending”? Are you denying they are Jewish?
They pretend to be about serving the jewish population but they are serving the Zionist agenda which is harmful to jews all over the world that have noting to do with zionists
Around 85% of Jews worldwide are Zionist. You are denying these people their own identity to fit a wishfull thinking narrative.
This is what they are using their identity for. It is up to the Jewish community to ostricize these people if they truly are not Jewish.
Do not frame Jews as the victims while ignoring the Palestinians being literally genocided by these organizations. They call themselves Jewish Greens and stand for Zionism and genocide. It is up to the Jewish community to excommunicate them not you or me.
There is manipulation in the polls to amplify the numbers.The polls do not ask are you, a Zionist they use word do you feel aconnection to israel many people would say yes., similar to a Muslim, if he ask about the connection with, Saudi arabia they, would say yes because of the holy site and not the criminal, al, saoud family
I agree that Jews should call out those Zionists organizations
Don’t get me wrong the palestinians are the only victims
The Canary is basically at the maturity level of a sixth form junior common room newsletter. They’re also about to shut down due to financial and managerial incompetence. So they’re being particularly sensitive to any criticism.
The Jewish Greens already managed to previously filibuster the Zionism is Racism motion.
From what I hear from within the party, it’s just two members that seem to be actively pulling the old hasbara levers. The rest of the Jewish Greens are an even split of ‘moderate’ Zionists and pro-Palestine Jews.
My only only caveat is that this is what I hear through internal gossip. So who knows how accurate that is. From personal experience all of the active members in my constituency are strongly pro-Palestine. Some ran afoul of the spurious antisemitism claims in the lead up to the council elections in May.
