Green deputy leader Ali tells suspended candidates to bring in lawyers
Green party deputy leader Mothin Ali has allegedly advised suspended election candidates to bring in lawyers against the party. Multiple members were suspended over alleged historical antisemitic comments.
Factional splits in the Green Party
The Green’s admin machine has started capitulating to ‘antisemitism’ smears as the Israel lobby tries to take out pro-Palestine candidates and bring the party to heel. Several candidates and members have been suspended, including anti-Zionist Jews.
The comments were made at a private meeting held by Greens for Palestine. However, the discussion was secretly recorded and leaked to the Murdoch press, a tactic used repeatedly by supporters of Israel. Ali also allegedly spoke of the need to “put the party on notice,” and launch a class action lawsuit — fearing more suspensions to come.
The recording claims to show Ali telling suspended candidates to get “serious legal advice.” In addition, Ali allegedly warns that the party will not simply roll over and accept the suspension.
Same script, different party
In comments evocative of Labour’s surrender to the ‘Labour antisemitism’ scam, Ali said the national party is bypassing its usual disciplinary process to “fast track” suspensions.
He added that party functionaries are copying the disastrous attitude that saw Labour crumble:
Their attitude at the moment is that if 500 members get upset, it’s not a big deal compared to 226,000. It’s that same Labour attitude of ‘you’ve got nowhere else to go.
What we need to do is we need to get some serious legal advice. We need to make sure that we are putting the party on notice straight away, and we need to start with some class action. Because it won’t be the end. They’re coming after more and more people.
The suspensions have come in response to a shameless smear campaign by Keir Starmer’s front bench. That group plainly fears a wipe-out to the Greens and is trying to nobble the party’s candidates.
The Greens’ Jewish party leader has tended to far to treat the smear campaign with the contempt it deserves, but his party’s admin has failed to follow suit. Instead of slapping down Labour’s tactics and calling out the desperation behind it, they have so far given in. That must stop, before the damage to the Greens and their surging electoral popularity is irreversible.

This is absolutely correct from Ali. The rot set in inside Labour immediately after that vile creature Hodge called Corbyn antisemitic in a Guardian article. She was never disciplined, nor her and the Guardian sued as they should have been. Indeed, legal action against MSM scum spreading the antisemitism lie should be crowdfunded. When Sultana was accused of antisemitism by a Times journalist she threatened such and he caved.
Let it be a warning to anyone wanting to start a left leaning party: You will be infiltrated.
It is not paranoia.
Today 30 April
BBC’s ‘Politics Live’ began with a discussion on the stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green yesterday.
Barry Gardiner was on the panel and unfortunately didn’t deal with the topic of antisemitism at all well in my opinion.
Despite calls for the need to look at the root cause of the problem no one mentioned Israel and its Genocide. But there was a suggestion that pro-Palestinian marches should be banned.
Reference was made to the recent Panorama programme but at the end of the discussion by the panel, the leader of Plaid Cymru, Rhun ap lorwerth, was interviewed by Vicky Young online and asked about a member of Plaid Cymru who had said amongst other things that Isreal was a terrorist state. The implication being that saying such a thing was obviously antisemitic .
Fortunately Rhun ap lorwerth made it clear that he deplored antisemitism and the attacks on ordinary Jewish people but then delivered a robust analysis and defence of the argument that Israel should not just be proscribed but that Netanyahu and the state of Israel should be taken to the international court for the Genocide committed in Gaza.
One can only hope that Zack Polanski will be as robust.
As a Jew, I had great hopes for the Greens standing up to Zionism and calling out each and every antisemitic conflation of Zionists or Israelis with Jewish people for what is: the ultimate antisemitism. Israel and it’s Zionists supporters will go on abusing the term AS and, who knows, possibly setting up False Flag attacks on Jews. The Green Party which relies strongly on it’s image of being for peace and justice for Palestine will haemorrhage support unless it calls out Zionism for the evil ideology it is and has always been.
