I like this. It’s not serious and not really pertinent. But it made me smile.
France is burning. The world should demand a two-state solution.

Of course left wing Labour members now see an opportunity to win back votes
Antisemitism is shamefully rising across the globe, and it's going to take all of us to tackle it. Yesterday I met leaders from the J7 to discuss this unique hatred targeting Jewish communities and to learn from each other's experiences and approaches. By listening, learning and sharing what works, we can strengthen our response to antisemitism and help ensure Jewish people in our communities can live safely and confidently.

I don't get it @covlanguages. It's supposed to be a policy on multilingualism but it's all about English .. Can you explain what support is foreseen for multilingualism? coventry.gov.uk/downloads/do

Hypocrite
Standing together against hate means standing up for everyone. Everybody deserves to feel safe, respected and welcome.

Those who advocate, as Hamas does, the use of violence to eradicate Israel are being labelled indirectly by members of their own party as Extremists & Racists. Finally. Green Party MP wants to make sure it is 'not vulnerable to extremists' bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c54g

Polanski threw his Jewish family under the bus to curry favour with @TheGreenParty antisemites. But now he’s a loser, the tribe that made him king will reject him quicker than you can say ‘Free Palestine’. No-one deserves the fate that awaits him more than this grubby charlatan.

The Greens’ position seems to be that racism against Jewish people is ok because they oppose Israel. I admire the Green members fighting to get their party back, but we should be in no doubt about the moral failure of their leaders. It is shocking and must be opposed.
Scottish Greens co-leader won't say whether he thinks it acceptable to use the term "Zios", widely seen as a racial slur for Jews. "We're getting into points about language... the most offensive thing is the systematic murder of an entire people." âŹ‡ïž thetimes.com/uk/scotland/art

She means because of the intimidation and the emotional pressure to be ostracised and excommunicated from what @DavidHirsh has labelled ‘the community of the good’
Green MP Sian Berry has released a statement this morning in the wake of the Holborn & St Pancras result. It says that because of the by-election, "many of us" were persuaded "not to campaign publicly" against the Zionism is Racism motion. Absolutely Damning.

A nasty strain of antisemitism has quickly come to dominate the Green Party of England and Wales. We explain how the former Ecology Party came to care more about Zionism than the environment economist.com/britain/2026/1

What are the urgent changes to take this forward? In 2005 the @ucu was taken over by antisemites. We’re still waiting for their changes. @DavidHirsh
To be clear I’m not calling on Zack to step down. Today he's indicated he shares some of my concerns on the Zionism motion & I welcome that. Now the party needs to come together to make the urgent changes needed to take us forward
