AIBU to think this Green Party response raises antisemitism concerns?

They were.

Just a point about cartoons, politicians have long noses in many drawings. Why? It denotes lying. It’s not anything to do with Jews! They are not protected against this long used technique. Remember Yes Minister and the Scarfe cartoons? It’s simply standard for men and women of any creed, colour or race or religion to be drawn like this. It’s shorthand for not telling the truth,

But the fact the man (I also think this is a key feature) was happy to stab his Muslim friend makes stabbing those of a different faith, less about faith/culture and more he’s a violent moron.

When does asking a question become anti Semitic ? Zack/Dave is himself Jewish.
Is my post Anti Semitic?

In one way the Green party needs to distance itself from it's association with antisemitism - gained mainly from the antisemitic ramblings of too many Green candidates.

But in another way - distancing itself from that link will only diminish its appeal from other voters.

It really needs a selling point that is more wholesome, like environmental issues. But the environment seems way down its list of priorities these days.

How many more of these threads are there going to be?

I have a feeling they will be greatly reduced after tomorrow.

Oh dear lol

What’s your argument then?

Why is Feda Shahin still a candidate? Would you vote for her? What about Sabine Mairey? Joe Belcher? Raja Ateeq?

Did you see the deputy leader justify the October 7th attacks and encourage members who have been suspended for antisemitism to sue? Seems to go a bit beyond a few bad apples.

This isn't at least one video. It's large numbers of photographs of big groups of Jewish people over consistent numbers of marches. It's sections of marches dedicated to Jewish people. It's high profile Jewish people discussing how they've been treated for expressing concern about Israels actions in Palestine. It's ordinary Jewish people on this board and elsewhere describing that they feel unheard and that their identity is being erased and describing their experiences of going on these marches.

Did you see the interview with Trevor Mcdonald and ZP where ZP described several recent incidents of antisemitism towards him and said that he was very well aware of the rising threat to Jewish people and that his comments about perception of unsafety specifically related to the narrative around the Palestine marches and Jewish people feeling threatened and whether that was a real or perceived threat when these marches included hundreds of Jewish people? Trevor McDonald's reply was "so how do you convince a stabbing victim that it's all in his head?" Which was just so bizarrely far removed from everything ZP had just said.

Have you seen him explicitly telling people not to vote for the candidates that made those antisemitic tweets? Or the explanations about why the process is slow. Because both these things are out there.

I tthink it's obvious their governance isn't designed for a mainstream party. I also think there's so much narrative that the Green party is antisemitic that obviously antisemitic people are going to try and join. But I do not trust the media narrative that the party is deliberately antisemitic. And I'm not going to turn away from a party I've supported for 30+ years because of information I don't trust.

Another example of why would be the Times, very vocal about how bad ZP is but also published a cartoon of him that is genuinely antisemitic. Noone accidentally caricatures a Jewish man with a nose like that.

I think we all need to be very careful. Are we being encouraged to hate specific groups or to other them?

Sunk cost fallacy.

Projecting the assumption that I’m making the same argument as those people, instead of actually responding to what I said.

If he's so against antisemitism then why does he allow antisemites to be picked as candidates?
