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
“those members should be fired”, they’re not employees, they’re people who have joined the party to vote on policy etc. I assume that the pro-genocide people mentioned here joined the greens just to try and gum up the works.
They can get banned.
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 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.
Any person who remains member of a hardcore Zionist pro genocide group like that is a hardcore Zionist.
Liberal Zionists are also just Zionists

It isn’t a hardcore Zionist pro genocide group as far as I’ve heard but a mix. There is a tiny minority that are hardcore and are using it for political cover to pull their bullshit.
Liberal Zionists are also just Zionists
Well yes. That was the point of putting ‘moderate’ in inverted commas. They’re no different than the white moderates that MLK highlighted in his Birmingham Gaol letters. They are in effect no different than the mother and son duo that are doing all the shit stirring as their intransigence creates cover for them.
My point still stands though that the overwhelming majority of the party are pro-Palestine. If the motion ‘Zionism is racism’ goes through at the up coming conference then hopefully the ‘moderate’ Zionists will leave the party so that there’s no cover for the militant entryists.

Lol so? The rest of them are letting them do it.
They are doing it in the name of Jewish Greens and the rest of Jewish Greens are in the end on board with it. I don’t care about internal disputes. I care about their final decision. They are speaking on behalf of the majority of Jewish Greens and abusing their Jewish Greens identity to support genocide. If the rest of Jewish Greens aren’t on board with it they can either set their foot down and not allow them to do it, or quit the org and go do something else.
Replace the word Zionist with Nazi and you get* “hopefully the ‘moderate’ Nazi’s will leave the party so that there’s no cover for the militant entryists.”*
You’re either a Nazi and believe in White (in this case Jewish) supremacy, or you don’t. There are no “moderates” in this.
You gotta think of the Green Party as more of a library than a bar. I can’t kick someone out of the library if they aren’t breaking any rules. Changing the rules to exclude a particular group of people needs careful drafting and implementation. If the party just kicked out the organisation Jewish Greens it would wholely diminish any future effort by pro Palestine greens to put pressure on the government over Israel. It would also cripple the party in elections as the overwhelming majority of voters are blinkered when it comes to media consumption. And this in turn would free the hand of the actually Zionist parties that run our government to continue sucking on the Western hegemon’s teat.
No I’m talking about Jewish Greens. They have Zionist dogwhistling as a main point on their website

United against antisemitism
We provide a Jewish voice within the Green Party united against all forms of racism, including antisemitism,
And they use IHRA as their definition of course
The IHRA definition of antisemitism provides guidance with regard to the state of Israel. In reference to the example: ‘Denying the Jewish people their right to self determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour.’ P
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.
