Very impressed with Zack Polanski on BBC's 'Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg'.
He's navigating the perilous currents of UK media with clarity and some aplomb.

If I was Prime Minister , if I was Burnham , watching European cities ablaze . . . I’d instigate a ‘wealth tax’ at about 9.01am tomorrow morning . Just saying . Or should we just ‘eat cake’ ?

'Polanski says he will obey the democratic decisions of his Party' .... unlike every other UK national Party
Polanski says he will not overturn Green Party's 'Zionism is racism' motion bbc.in/4yYWHNY

The mass rape and sexual abuse of Palestinians by Israel.
Including Palestinian kids.
Where is the outrage?
Listen to my interview with Oxford surgeon @maynard_nick 👇

1000% agree, Zionism is racism.
This is a historical turning point in British politics.
You can’t look at what’s happened and continues to happen in Gaza and back peddle on this issueto please the establishment.
👏👏👏 In the face of the predictable onslaught from @bbclaurak Zack Polanski turned in a solid performance re Zionism is racism. No apology, no climbdown. Jo Coburn and Nadine Dorris left spluttering with outrage, which indicates he did something right.
Dale Vince, wearing a kaffiyeh, even managed to slip in a reference to “genocide,” without correction. We’re getting there, slowly.
As for Laura, if only we knew what her own views were ...

This is huge.
Time for all British nationals who served in the IDF to be investigated over possible involvement in war crimes.
🚨NEW: After a months-long investigation, we can reveal that a British national who posed in front of a burning school in Gaza fought for Israel and may have participated in war crimes.

Very well said. And keeping his cool despite provocations.
Huge credit to Zack Polanski for an excellent @bbclaurak interview in the face of hostility and constant interruptions.
So interesting how Laura Kuensberg's interview style changed from softball with Yvette Cooper to hostile with Zack. #bbclaurak

Zack Polanski:
‘75,000 🇵🇸 murdered’
‘The 🇬🇧 selling 🇮🇱 arms’
‘Providing intelligence’
‘I want 🇮🇱 & 🇵🇸 to live side by side’
‘Enjoying equal rights’
‘That is not happening’
‘It’s apartheid’
‘And that is racist’
That folks is leadership - right there!
👏

The total conflation of Israel and Jewish people has been quite something to watch.
People have made up their minds about Israel's murderous crimes.
To thereby conflate opposing those crimes with hating Jewish people is so obviously driving antisemitism.
Beyond irresponsible!
.@ZackPolanski has to explain that conflating Jews with the state of Israel (like the PM did last week) is antisemitic and is making British Jews less safe.

If you can't watch, just read how Zac responded this morning to The BBC. You're a 'top' guy @ZackPolanski best leader of a national party I can recall - and I'm 72

Absolutely. LK didn’t have a chance of getting the gotcha moment she was after. Excellent responses from @ZackPolanski throughout the interview. Exactly what’s needed! 🙏

The Greens are the only party telling the truth about the greatest crime of our lifetime. Gaza isn’t a distraction from the environment. It’s a question of our humanity: do we accept a world where the political-media class defends genocide, or fight it?
margaret batty retweeted
This is what leadership looks like!
So good to hear @ZackPolanski cut through the misinformation on @bbclaurak this morning.
The Green Party is the only party that fully supports Palestinian Liberation.

Still seething that it is apparently OK now for Airlines to fine an elderly man £55 for having paper ticket instead of on his phone @Ryanair . He uses a brick phone to take calls- does he have to buy a smart phone to travel? Does everyone know this?
