Zionist Greens label Zack Polanski antisemitic in further leaked WhatsApp Messages
The Canary can reveal further leaked WhatsApp messages from a secretive, Zionist Green Party group called ‘Greens Against Antisemitism’. The group appears to be orchestrating a campaign to brand opponents as antisemitic while plotting to sink a historic anti‑racist motion: Zionism Is Racism.
More leaked Green Party WhatsApps
At a time when the Green Party of England and Wales faced a watershed vote on whether to declare itself an anti‑Zionist party, internal messages obtained by the Canary lift the lid on a coordinated effort by a Zionist faction to manipulate the democratic process and drive out members who support Palestinian liberation.
Following our investigation into Disciplinary Committee member Rachel Collinson – which potentially exposed her apparent bias and potential abuses of power – a fresh cache of leaked WhatsApp messages from the same group, Greens Against Antisemitism (GAA), now reveals yet more wild accusations and conspiratorial organising behind the scenes of the Green Party.
At its centre is long‑standing party figure Elise Benjamin, whose messages lay bare a strategy of procedural sabotage, smear‑by‑accusation, cynical weaponisation of antisemitism, an apparent closeness to UK Lawyers For Israel and even genocide denial:
The messages, which date from the months leading up to Spring Conference, show Benjamin – with help from her husband Craig – actively plotting to derail the motion Zionism Is Racism, a motion that would formally commit the Green Party to an anti‑Zionist position:
The effect of such a blizzard of amendments is obvious: at a packed conference, contentious motions can be squeezed out of the timetable or diluted into meaninglessness. This stifles a democratic vote and could work to paint one of the most popular grassroots campaigns in the party as procedurally toxic.
Even Zack Polanski is now an antisemite
The leaked conversations also show Benjamin reaching for the label ‘antisemite’ with a promiscuity that makes a mockery of genuine anti‑racist work. The list of her targets, named directly in the chat, includes:
- The Canary.
- Jewish anti‑Zionist campaigner Tony Greenstein.
- Green Party councillor and YouTuber Kernow Damo.
- Anti‑racist social media account Bladeofthesun.
- American streamers Hasan Piker and Cenk Uyghur.
- The Palestine Solidarity Campaign and its former director Ben Jamal.
- Rapper and activist Lowkey.
- And even the party’s own Jewish leader, Zack Polanski.
Most disturbingly, Benjamin floats an extraordinary conspiracy theory concerning PSC and Ben Jamal:
To suggest that the UK’s foremost Palestinian solidarity organisation – and its Palestinian‑led leadership – were somehow complicit in the events of 7 October 2023 is a grotesque smear that trades on the darkest Orientalist tropes.
But there is one form of antisemitism that Benjamin apparently cannot see.
When a member of the GAA chat raised the Times’ widely condemned caricatures of Green Party leader Zack Polanski – images that evoked the most hateful Nazi‑era stereotypes – Benjamin’s response was telling:
By contrast, Benjamin rushes to defend openly far-right Zionist group Our Fight when its use of Union Jack imagery is questioned:
Our Fight is a hardline organisation directed by former Spiked columnist Mark Birbeck. It deploys militaristic, British‑fascist aesthetics redolent of Britain First and the EDL, as well as organising delegations of non‑Jewish supporters to travel to the Zionist entity in occupied Palestine.
Hollowing out democracy
These messages, coupled with the previous leaks regarding Disciplinary Committee member Rachel Collinson, show a worrying pattern of seeing everyone this group disagrees with as antisemitic and organising – on those grounds – to have people that align with anti-Zionist views extradited from the party.
The Green Party leadership now faces a clear choice: side with the members who want to confront apartheid and racism in all its forms or allow a small cabal to hollow out the party’s internal democracy, one bad‑faith accusation at a time.
The Canary will continue to follow this story.
We tried to reach out to Elise Benjamin for comment via multiple platforms, but did not receive a response at the time of publication.Â

Gotcha!
Love the fact that they quote Douglas Murray approvingly in a ‘Green Party’ whatsapp group!!!!
I just wish they did.. anything disciplinary.. like at all
Who?
Will you be suing? I hope so.
“side with the members who want to confront apartheid and racism in all its forms”
and homophobia.
What do you mean?
Time to expel these evil creatures from the party. They clearly want to hijack the party and they work against the great majority of its members. The tactics of these weasels are really mean and despicable too, to say the least.
You’re talking about the Canary reporters, I assume
Privilege and entitlement is not alone in the greens any more than it was in the Labour party with the barmy Baronesses Anderson and Oppenheim, two more princesses of privilege. A simple question is do you think any grouping of people by nation, pigment, which version of the tooth fairy they believe are more valuable than any another. If you do then you really don’t support equality diversity or inclusion – It is supremacy privilege and your own fragility that drives you politically and that like it or not is a proto-fascist belief and you really need some help with what Adler identified as an inferiority complex. If you have to find your value in solely in some myth, heritage or cultural trope that is in your way exclusive to those that you aren’t terrified of or raging against. Then it is time to seek some help, but don’t look to others in the same privilege and entitlement group – they are likely as terrified and enraged as you, Jordan or Douglas.
Time to stop tiptoeing around the western Europen rational enlightenment myth that brought us slavery, empire and exploitation, realise it is whitey’s violent historicist fantasy. One the should have ended in 1945 or 1990 at the least. When the Soviets learned in Afghanistan that colonies only work whilst the people you enslave are willing to tolerate you; bless the USA, being taught that in Vietnam didn’t deter them from making the Soviet’s folly in Afghanistan and sample the gratitude for their whitey Liberation in Iraq. Israel has lost their colonial war to Hamas and are condemned to decline unless they accept that diseatablishment of a religious state and recogniition of equal rights and reparations are the only solution. I doubt that their will be a truth andreconcilliation option because of the clear case for a genocide that even the White apartheid in Namibia, Rhodesia and South Africa never enacyed such a brutal inhuman ataack on a population. Whitey in all its forms will have to come to terms with the disgace of the international reponse of predominantly Western European colonialism in Palestine.
I love a rant because of the strawmen I burn along the way.
To dismiss the Enlightenment is to promote religion-based regression into delusions. There were empires and widespread slavery in many parts of the world for thousands of years before that period in Europe, so it is false to claim the Enlightenment caused slavery. Were the child sacrifices of the Aztecs a product of “rational enlightenment”? Here’s a Marxist view:
Marxism does not repudiate the Enlightenment; it claims its revolutionary heritage. The Enlightenment thinkers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries — the materialist philosophers, the philosophes of the French Revolution — forged the intellectual weapons that were ultimately to be used by the emerging working class against bourgeois society in the nineteenth century. Their belief in reason, in the possibility of human progress, in the capacity of mankind to understand and transform the world on the basis of scientific insight — this was the indispensable intellectual foundation upon which scientific socialism was built.
As Marx himself pointed out in The Holy Family, the connection between Enlightenment materialism and socialism was not accidental but necessary:
“There is no need for any great penetration to see from the teaching of materialism on the original goodness and equal intellectual endowment of men, the omnipotence of experience, habit and education, and the influence of environment on man, the great significance of industry, the justification of enjoyment, etc., how necessarily materialism is connected with communism and socialism.”
The Enlightenment thinkers did harbor historically-conditioned illusions — above all, that the liberation of the “third estate” represented the liberation of all mankind. But their theoretical work provided the intellectual and moral basis for the socialist assault on bourgeois society. It was precisely the bourgeoisie’s betrayal of the ideals of Reason in the aftermath of the French Revolution that provided so much of the theoretical impulse for the critique of bourgeois society.
On the 14 July I received the following email (extract) from the South East Green Party (SEGP):
“I am writing to invite you to attend an online antisemitism awareness training session hosted by the Jewish Greens.”
I responded:
“I am replying to invite you also to organise an online pro-Zionism awareness training session hosted by the dispossessed Palestinians.”
SEGP responded:
“The South East Regional committee was asked by several members to provide training on antisemitism and this is that.
Other members have also requested other training and we are in the process of sourcing that training and will advertise it as soon as we have arranged something.
The Green Party features a variety of official self-organising Special Interest and Liberation groups that allow members to unite around specific causes, discuss policies, and advocate for marginalised communities.”
You seriously replied with that? What is wrong with you? You are quite literally conflating antisemitism with antizionism there!
Those of us in the LP who survived the antisemitism onslaught know this for sure: unless you get rid of these people, you will get nowhere. If you want training go to Jewish Voice for Liberation.
Seconded. JVL are victims of zionist jew hate, perpetrators often being zionist gentiles who’ve, for example trawled through 10 year old tweets so offensive they had to be dug up. It’s like an office boy jumping with glee and saying “Boss, I’ve found a tweet which might be antisemitic. Look. This person has mis-spelt ‘Epshhhteeen’, Will it do? We need more holocaust descendants thrown out, after all”.
Such behaviour from Starmer’s attack dogs is strange. I always thought the object was to have less antisemitism, not to celebrate when more has been found (allegedly).
So, after countless examples of pro-zionism under zionist Zack’s leadership, the latest from the Canary and their scheming zionist “green” cohorts is to appeal to Kubuki theatre. Zack can’t be a zionist because…. why, look at these easy to fake text messages and words!
Unfortunately I’m not so shallow as to be convinced by mere words. zionist Zack’s *actions* are what give it away for me – when the zionist Green party booted out Tony and the others for criticising genocidal israel, and zionist Zack remained silent, those actions were sufficient.
Still, I would like to thank the controlled Canary for admitting this part of my statement: if a zionist helms the Green party, then it means zionists have infiltrated the Green party, and it isn’t the so-called “anti-establishment” party the Canary previously claimed. The facade just isn’t holding up. What is a zionist ‘zackactivist’ anyway, someone who still votes for zionists even in spite of a genocide?
Anyway, here’s my usual, you know the drill – truth will be posted until those in power squirm and writhe:
Zack Polanski is a zionist
“From Liberal Zionist to Green Party leader: The political journey of Zack Polanski”
https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/greens-leader-polanski-embracing-outsider-status-on-gaza-debate/
“Zack Polanski’s Greens block anti-Zionist motion at conference”

“UK Green Party suspends pro-Palestine Jewish activist following Israel criticism”
https://www.newarab.com/news/uk-green-party-suspends-jewish-activist-after-israel-criticism
I will keep reposting this until the Canary acknowledges it. Tossing a few more scapegoats under the bus and using Kubuki theatre will not save you from these accusations.
WTF is even “Kubuki”?
Just a friendly reminder to Green zionists (and non Green too).
We’re told antisemitism has gone up repeatedly by zionists. The reminder is that if this is true, it has happened under 5 zionist Prime Ministers, a zionist antisemitism tsar, the presence of the zionist IHRA agreement of a zionist media. It’s gone up under zionist Trump and before him, zionist Biden. Yesterday, I saw footage of zionist Israelis attacking non zionists, so it looks like it’s on the rise in zionist Israel. No good posers saying “I mean jew” because jews are being beaten up by jews and in the UK and US, zionist gentiles are in charge.
And now. Starmer’s parting gift to British jews. £250M to help them to build a higher wall around themselves to protect them from the anger created in society by successive zionist governments who have sucked up to the Israel lobby who are bringing danger upon them. No one sensible is denying antisemitism, imo. The hard stuff might never go away. We must also bear in mind the concept of ‘blame’ on various gvts might not be completely 100% appropriate, but, to me, mistakes in policy and responses to antisemitism are woefully inappropriate. What more evidence do we need that zionist tactics have failed when zionists themselves admit the failures in their own claims? Even if we believe the ridiculous claims about Corbyn’s leadership, it seems inescapable things have become worse, per capita nationally, under Starmer, who, along with the current little liar in JLM, have done little to address the problem their big mouths haven’t.
Just remember Voltaire’s dictum, “I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”. The answer to “hate speech” is more speech, not censorship. No one should be expelled from any political party for expressing an opinion, especially not if they have evidence to justify that opinion. If the truth offends some people, that’s nobody’s problem but theirs.
The notion of “causing offence” is amusing to me. It’s part and parcel of living in a democracy. If “offence” is caused to Jews, Muslims or Christians, in a way, it’s a cause for celebration that they live in a country where offence can be taken or where offence can be given. Racial matters must be handled sensitively of course. But silencing should, and I hope in the present climate, never work. Completely wrong.
Offend, be offended.
If ppl don’t like it, buzz off to where speech is closed down as a norm.
Which abusive man is claiming he was expelled for merely ‘expressing an opinion’ now?
Their are three Zionist-led and heavily Zionist-funded major UK parties. Zionist-led parties are noticeable because they support Zionist policies both internationally and domestically (including the persecution of protest and political injustice), which inevitably leads to corporate globalism, neo-feudalism and warmongering. If Greens fail to be the alternative, the voter will be left with no reason to vote for them.
They constantly seek to conflate anti-zionism with anti-semitism, even though Blair, Starmer, Badenoch & Boris Johnson are all zionists, but none of them are Jewish. Zionism is a policy. Policies are criticisable.
Yep, like ‘oneness’ above
This should come as no surprise to those of us who have long been calling the Greens out for what they are. That the so-called independent left wing media have failed to scrutinise political careerist, zig-zagger Polanski and the Greens, in their rush to promote him/them as a fit to lead ‘the left’ is a dereliction of duty. Anybody who has a pulse, should know that at its core, the Greens are a capitalist, imperialist, party. Their membership holds many Airbnb landlords in the shires and coastal regions, NIMBYists, Tories in wellies, Zionists, ‘population control’ fanatics and far too many Peter Singer devotees (just look at their website to see how many of their candidates state they admire him). Look at their actions – all 4 of their MPs voted for the carrot (assisted dying) to the stick of Labour’s benefit cuts to the disabled. They did so, despite disabilities charities pleading for MPs not to vote it through. The Greens own policy on assisted dying, states something along the lines of (not verbatim): provided necessary safeguard measures are in place – they weren’t, as detailed by disability rights activists. That, and the fact that they ally with Singer, a man who advocates for legal euthanasia for disabled babies and children up to 3, because he deems them to have no more conscience than that of a pig, should tell anybody all they need to know about the Greens, let alone that they are now suspending and expelling anti-Zionists. Yet here we are, with so-called left-wingers (how can they be?), trying to force their way into a clearly unsuitable vehicle: the Green Party. Voices like Matt Kennard – somebody I’ve long respected – now promoting Polanski and the Greens. Effing disgraceful and utterly depressing.
Thanks for saving these, which were set to disappear after 90 days. Now do Jake Sharpstone and Adrian Widditch.
