To think this is utterly disgusting?!?

What is wrong with people??

Talk about adding insult to injury!

Apparently, if we don't understand and we get upset by comments, it's a 'comprehension problem'. I understood perfectly well, as did others, who also shared our disgust. He has backtracked a bit on comments finally when pushed by another poster. That's something I suppose 🙄

Anyway, enough of him. This thread is about a women who is a spin doctor/press representative for The Green party and comments about no rapes on October 7th. It was side-tracked by other comments.

I hope the Green Party at least make a statement or offer their representative some training. I fear they will won't do much though. We shall see.

Noted the way you parrot Hamas propaganda: One thing it HAS done, is raise the profile of Palestinians and their struggle to the world. And I don't think Israel have improved their reputation in the process.

That’s a very good point. “Let’s raise the profile of Palestinians by wrecking their lives even more”, what a brilliant idea.

So you are saying that when Israel as you say left Gaza there was no intention to leave it in peace????

That is not what I said at all.

I also completely understood what this poster wrote. 💐
There has been no statement of clarification or denial from either Abi Wilkinson or Zack Polanski, or anyone representing the Greens to clarify, deny, or apologise.

I understood what the poster meant perfectly well.

I'm sure he doesn't need you to defend him and his posts. He's quite capable of telling us we are 'biased' or that we lack 'thinking skills' or 'reading skills/comprehension' as he has done throughout his posting.

Again the thread topic has been lost.

Could you go back and find and then quote exactly (word for word) what you did say about 2005 and about the war starting in Oct 7?

Yes, I find those responses very patronising.

We shall see if they make one.

Maybe they will just wait it out and let other news take over....

There was upset, disgust and anger at the comments made.

I can't understand the silence about this.

There were also men raped as well as women and girls on October 7th.

I can. It's Jewish men and women.

I think rape of anyone male or female and from any nation is abhorrent and is NEVER 'resistance'. Rape is about control, humiliation and dominance. It is NEVER acceptable.

Why don't you do it, since you are so very invested in my posts? OTOH
you could just post about what this thread is about - the Green Party and their attitudes towards women who were raped on and after 7 October 2023.

She is not the first and unlikely to be the last to deny the rapes on October 7th. This should be a fringe extremist view - without rebuttal of this by the green party, does that indicate they silently accept/agree with her views? Or have they distanced themselves and I haven't seen it?
Concerning.

Horrifying.

That's my question.

I've just checked and cannot see anything from them. Hopefully, they will respond and not just leave it. If they don't respond it shows us who they are. I did vote Green many years ago on environmental grounds. The party has changed and not for the better in many ways.

Again, hopefully they will respond to the criticism 🤔

Yes, I always voted Green at the local elections, hoping for change.
Why they're doing nothing about this situation is mystifying.

Whilst looking for a statement about this, I found another site sharing concern on what the Green party has become. Some of these concerns might explain why they have the views they do. Apparently this site shed light on the Green Party

https://thegreenlight.blog/about-us/

Not really. They are showing what they've become and that is no longer the environmentalists we once voted for 😥

Of course men are allowed to post on MN and are very welcome as far as I'm concerned.

Most of us are female though, that will be because Mumsnet is not the most inclusive name in the world (some people posting will not be mums and they are welcome too).

We all have "voices" on MN and from the style of posting people may make assumptions about age, sex, etc - they aren't necessarily correct of course.

Interesting article, thank you.
Did you see what I posted upthread about the concerns of the Jewish Greens?

Agreed.

i can’t bear the Green Party- the more they’re discredited the better imho.
Full of useful idiots who have been captured by extreme left-wing ideology and I include my deluded DC in this (we are Jewish). I have to think of it as a cult, otherwise I can’t cope.

Relatable @Nosejobnelly my son in his 20s indicated to me recently that he intends to vote Green at the next election. Young people are very disillusioned with both the Tories and Labour which is understandable.

That reminds me, I need to point him in the direction of the comments made by this awful woman - the Green party silence on what she said will send him back into the arms of Labour hopefully. They aren't perfect but better than the Greens right now.

He's an idealist as are many traditional voters for the Green party. But the party has changed beyond all recognition.

Also the concerns of the Jewish Greens (qv).
