Greens refuse to deselect candidates accused of ‘antisemitic’ slurs

The Green Party has endorsed half a dozen general election candidates despite allegations that they shared “antisemitic” slurs, conspiracy theories or offensive comments online.

The party has persisted in rejecting the accusations and claimed that legitimate criticism of Israel was being confused with antisemitism. Last week The Times revealed that its candidates had accused Israel of child trafficking and appeared to justify Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel, as well as sharing articles online that claimed they were a “false flag” operation carried out by Israel itself. As details of the terrorist atrocity were emerging on October 7, one wrote “resist”.

Normalization in the UK is proceeding apace.
