Could Zack Polanski be any more of an obnoxious twat?

[HeadDeskHeadDesk]

Just seen him saying this:

'I am concerned about the rise in antisemitism and we know Jewish communities are saying they feel unsafe. There is a conversation to be had over whether it's a perception that they feel unsafe or whether they are actually unsafe.'

WTAF? Can you imagine if a politician said that to Muslims after a series of absolutely awful targeted attacks where people have died?

I don’t know about that.

What worries me is that his unhinged policies and statements strengthen his party.

What that tells us about the current state of the UK is terrifying.

Agree.
I hope this news will make people think twice about voting Green, but I suspect it will improve their chances. Awful.

He is absolutely playing to the left anti semitism brigade which is utterly shameful

but I also think he appealed to more moderate left wing voters, as he appeared to be a nice guy who just wants more fairness in society I do believe many of them will be questioning his motives now

he is extremely ambitious, nothing wrong with that unless you are happy to support divisions in society

The mask is slipping.

Yes.

Re the op what happens to someone who has just stabbed a 70ish year old man who is merely waiting at a bus stop isn’t a priority.

The fact that he stabbed someone else and five minutes later this is really scary for the people targeted.

God, he's desperate, isn't he? Has he ever tackled a man with a knife, intent on murder?
Why align himself with the perpetrator?

The Evening Standard already has a story headlined "Zack Polanski slammed for sharing tweet criticising Golders Green terror attack police" on its website
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/green-leader-zack-polanski-golders-green-terror-attack-b1280544.html

And its account on Facebook has the same headline. I imagine it has the same on other social media, too.

The London Evening Standard.

London, where the Greens think they'll do well

Hopefully, people will realise that before they pop their X down. Do we really want more hatred, more terrorist attacks, more marches that do nothing for the people they say they are marching for, more chanting idiots on the streets every single weekend.

I agree. He's doing exactly what the entryists into the GP wants him to do. Give them a shield for their anti Semitism- 'How can we be anti Semitic when we have a Jewish leader?' while they proceed to downplay terrorist acts against British citizens. He is either stupid or doesn't care. The anti semites, both Far Left agitators and Islamic fundamentalists are now a far larger group than the cosy environmentalists, so that's who he is playing to.

he's an appeaser and a handmaiden - like how some women who think they can be protected from violence and abuse by appeasing / enabling / supporting violent men. They think that if they are allies then it protects them.

It’s a motley crew that seems to stick together for now, but the surely the cracks are building up.

I’d be astonished if they all stay as one party for the GE.

I'm surprised they have suspended as many as 3 people! Most of them have just been told to delete their social media posts. In some ways they should remain there and be allowed to say what they really think. That way everyone knows exactly who they are.

At last, they are being arrested and their open anti semitism can be investigated. They seemed to run free with hatred for so long.

I have no idea how people can vote for this 'party'. Green politics is not what it used to be.

Green Party candidate says 'Jewish Nazis' are 'money-grubbing thieves'
She is hosting a meet and greet event at my local community centre

“although I use an anti-Zionist off-pissing [sic] alter ego on here, my identity, my real face and my name aren’t actually secret cuz I don’t give a fugg”

And yet now that she's up for election the account seems to have mysteriously disappeared...

How has she not been arrested already?? Surely inciting racial hatred is still a crime?

That's appalling. That person is standing for election! There should be better standards.

I hope someone screenshot her account and posts and has sent it to the police for hate crime investigation.

Yes, it's crazy that the Greens are going down this Islamist / anti-Israel road. What's Gaza got to do with cleaning up our rivers and seas, planting more trees, animal rights, using less pesticides etc? It's a crazy alliance that will surely unravel soon (hopefully).

I am extremely concerned about rising anti semitism in sections of the left. Polanski is helping to fuel it. Shameful.

I don’t know, but for all my life (mid fifties) the hard lefties I know have all been unapologetically antisemitic. They don’t give a fuck.

As opposed to Nigel Farage who is a righty tighty and has said very anti-Semitic things?

wtf!!!!
