Greens’ Makerfield candidate withdraws after Israel lobby pile-on
Chris Kennedy has withdrawn as the Green party’s candidate in the Makerfield by-election. The party’s announcement describes the reason as “personal and family reasons”. However, it is notable that Kennedy was the target of a huge pile-on by the UK Israel lobby before his withdrawal for sharing a post describing the the attack on Golders Green ambulances as a false-flag attack.
Kennedy apologised and deleted the comment.
Makerfield: worrying sign
The efforts the Israel lobby made to drive out a left-wing candidate are another worrying indication about Burnham’s candidacy. It suggests that Israel advocates want to help Burnham win so they can extract a ‘quid pro quo’ for one of their number, Josh Simons, resigning as Makerfield’s MP to open the way for him.
The withdrawal could well be another example of the Greens’ increasing tendency to cave to lobby attacks rather than stand their ground over Israel’s genocide, other crimes and propaganda tactics.

He’s probably right about the false flag
+1
100%
Greens hierarchy such a disappointment.
Greens capitulate to zionism once again. Spineless.
Golders Green is a false flag, because the attacker attacked a Muslim guy first, before he attacked the others. The zionist news outlets and zionist Starmer only focused on jews so they could invoke their victim card bullshit to try to justify overseas genocide and domestic censorship.
Anyway…
Zack Polanski is a zionist

I will keep reposting this until the Canary acknowledges it.
We need an Anti-Zionist Party.
Good work for keeping drawing attention to this.
It is fucking depressing to see people grasp at the green hopium, when its obviously just the next round of bullshit to keep people engaged in a deceitful political system entirely owned by finance/corpos/mic/zioscum.
Its also irresponsible of journalists who claim to be on the left to run cover for it. A journalist’s job is to open people’s eyes not keep them asleep.
anti-zionism on the left was so easily and quickly subverted.
Indoctrinate the young in ecomentalism & multiculturalism and soon the real anti-zio movement (corbynism) would be outcompeted by an acceptable Green face
some of it is corbyn’s fault for being friendly with the young (indoctrinated) open borders lot – something totally at odds with worker solidarity – rather than setting them straight
Who want’s to be a green MP, I don’t
