UK Greens split over anti Zionism motion and party direction

Column on Greens, anti-Zionism and why the people who pathologically hate something are not the most reliable people to define it accurately www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I can't believe the party that enacted the first new anti-trans legislation since Thatcher and is still selling arms to the IDF is now stamping their feet and refusing to work with Greens, a party that, just to remind you, HASN'T said "please work with us, Labour".

The idea that 1. Labour would ever be in coalition with the greens or the greens want to be in coalition with em 2. The idea that labour would ever actually do anything to truly stand up against the genocide, for the sake of coalition 3. Lol lmao, how dare the greens not check with labour first ey

For a humanities professor, this guy is impressively ignorant, probably deliberately. The Greens and ZP did speak up about the climate crisis repeatedly, and still are. People like Stuart just don't want us talking about Israel.

Labour were running a van round my constituency on by-election day telling voters the Greens were going to sell all our children into sex work for drugs

A HUGE turn-around by The Greens I criticised them earlier this year for not registering with Gen Z A change of leader, strong social media presence and an appallingly dysfunctional body politic of major parties mired in ideology-delivering-nothing The change is amazing bsky.app/profile/davi...

The Greens would never work with a party complicit in genocide

Dear Angela Rayner Anti-Zionism is NOT Antisemitism …”To imply that an attack on Zionism is an attack on Jews is to argue Zionism & Jews are one and the same. Zionism (a 130-year-old ideology) is not Judaism (a 3,500-year-old religion)” open.substack.com/pub/councile...

People attacking me as though I’m somehow pro Labour in anyway or doing anything to support or justify them is especially hurtful. After everything they’ve put me through, and how much work I gave to the Greens it’s actually a vile thing to imply

I thought the Green Party had a future. Sadly that appears to not be the case, at least in the short to medium term. Rafael Behr makes some excellent points: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Greens can hope to pick up the mess Labor and Albanese have made https://pearlsandirritations.com/e/daily/2026-10-06/480110/ #Auspol

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... A good analysis of the persistent problem of far left entryism who will destroy the idea of a viable and radical Green ecological party in the UK.

Poor George, and they call us naïve. The next government (Labour, Tory or Reform) will never do any of those things regrading Israel. George (and others) also seem to be missing the impact the Greens are currently having on policies and political discussions without being part of anything

Luckily, the main parties have levelled that accusation at every person they don't like so as to make it meaningless. The Greens are co led by a Jew and a Muslim. Claiming they are antisemitic is clearly a nonsense. They're still the only party openly anti genocide. That's enough for most people.

The Greens can help push Labour towards moral clarity on Palestine. Their unapologetic stance & Hannah Spencer’s victory have effectively ousted Starmer & brought in Burnham and Milliband & some half arsed sanctions. Parties SHOULD be protesting against genocide.
