The Greens have chosen a candidate for Makerfield.

Not any more they haven't.

"Chris Kennedy was announced as the party's representative after 8am on Thursday morning but by 4:45pm it was confirmed he had pulled put for "personal and family reasons"."

"The Green Party said its former candidate in the Makerfield by-election had apologised after a report that he had shared a post calling an attack on Jewish ambulances in north London a “false flag”."

So not "personal and family reasons" then?

"A Green Party spokesperson said: “These posts don’t reflect the views of The Green Party.
“We have spoken to Chris about these posts, and he has now deleted them. He apologises for the offence caused.”

There we are, he's apologised, nothing to see here, move along.

The Greens remind me very much of another party which has an issue with racist candidates.

Absolute state of this. Does this not get you slung out on your arse from the Green Party?

Can't find any mention of him being disciplined at all. "Anyway it's just part of the media smears- and remember who owns the media...... but we can't say cos they'll say it's wacist!"

All Labour MPs are sponsored by Netanyahu and Mossad apparently according to some social media posts.

And the global media.
And don't forget the police who never ever arrest any Jews for terrorism - what more proof do you need!

I was told this week that Keir Starmer is a war criminal because he is 'complicit in genocide'.

No working out was shown...

I don't think it's possible to be expelled from them.

That's an old one, you've done well to avoid it so long. I like to point out that the device they are using contains components made in Israel and therefore they are funding genocide.

8 questions for the Greens from Jewish News.

https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/eight-ques ... te-fiasco/

The final question is the most pertinent.

8) Do the Greens not understand how this completely undercuts their claim to be an anti-racist bulwark against Reform UK?

I genuinely did not expect that we would have to replay the latter part of the 2010s again in the 2020s, but here we are.

The antisemitism in Labour under Jeremy Corbyn completely undermined the party’s claims to hold some sort of moral high ground over right wing parties. The attempts by Corbynites to deny the antisemitism that was staring everyone else in the face ultimately led to a situation in which a Conservative party which had stumbled its way into Brexit managed to win an 80 seat majority.

This will happen to the Green Party as well. Ultimately, an increasing percentage of the population will come to roll their eyes at the Green Party talking about racism from Reform UK when there are a steady stream of Green party candidates found to have shared or expressed grotesque antisemitic sentiments.

It also provides Reform with a perfect counterattack. Various people on the far-left in the 2010s used to cite the glee with which right wing figures cited Labour antisemitism as evidence that it was a concocted issue. But it wasn’t – the reason Corbyn’s Labour was vulnerable to such criticism was precisely because they had a real problem. The Greens look to be following down the same path – it’s not a coincidence that so many of their new and vocal membership were previously Corbynites. You would think that people on the Left would remember Marx’s famous quote on history repeating itself.

Like I said at the start, these are not questions I would expect the Green party to answer – partly because they appear to be in denial about many of the issues expressed. But I hope that you, the reader, will consider them – and that it might impact your views going forward.

Being initially suspicious that The Mossad have been up to their well-documented tricks again doesn't strike me as anti-Semitic. A bit silly, quite probably.

[The Weeping Angel]

No, it was anti-semitism.

Daniel Sugarman writes about this thinking here.

Apparently targeting four ambulances in London’s Jewish community is part of some cunning Mossad plan to do… what, exactly? In this grand conspiracy theory which you have built in your head, does Keir Starmer instantly commit to an Iran ground invasion? Or has ‘Israel’ done it to somehow engender support for Jews in the UK (in this scenario, why blame ‘Netanyahu’ for conflating Jews and Israel when you do it so effortlessly yourself?) Or are you trying on for size the more longstanding ‘Israel false flag’ conspiracy theory of Mossad attacking a Jewish community target to promote fear among Diaspora Jews and encourage them to move to Israel?

So, then, is Israel’s cunning plan burning several ambulances to induce Diaspora Jews to migrate to Israel now, when the country is being targeted by Iranian ballistic missile fire?

It's the same crap that says Israel carried out 9/11, that they were behind AIDS or any other thing that went wrong in the last 77 years.
