AIBU to think this Green Party response raises antisemitism concerns?

[Twiglets1]

Reported today that Rachel Millward, the Green Party co-deputy leader, has shared a conspiracy theory about the Golders Green attack in which two Jewish men were stabbed.

It emerged the Muslim Greens, a group of party activists, chatted on a private WhatsApp group over the weekend about launching a campaign to highlight the alleged failure to report Ishmael Hussein, the third victim of the April 29 stabbings. There is no suggestion that this idea has the backing of Mr Hussein.

The private group chat, which included Mothin Ali, the Green Party’s other co-deputy leader, suggested the “racist double standard” in the Government’s handling of the attack also needed to be challenged.

The Golders Green stabbings are the latest in a spate of attacks on the British Jewish community. Last week, Essa Suleiman was charged with the attempted murder of Moshi Shine, 76, and 34-year-old Shloime Rand.

Media outlets reported that he was also charged with the attempted murder of Mr Hussein in Southwark, south London, earlier on the morning of April 29

Ms Millward shared a post from the NewsCord account that claimed Mr Hussein had been “erased from headlines to suit a weaponised, desperate narrative”.
The Greens’ deputy leader commented: “How can this be? Three attempted murders and only two reported?”

NewsCord is an AI-generated news aggregator and campaigning platform set up after the October 7 attacks to challenge the “Western media” and how it was “justifying and manufacturing consent for Israel’s war”.

Everyone is. He isn’t antisemitic, for fucks sake. He raised a perfectly valid point. He is being smeared because he is anti-Israel.

Who does?

Oh you know him personally. You should have said, it sheds a whole new light on your posts.

This sums it up really. A party of 'useful idiots' and their cult leader with the smile that never reaches his eyes.

I feel sorry for the last 3 members who naively believe they give a shit about the environment!

ZP's response to the attack, where he questioned whether the police were too heavy handed, has really made me think twice about him tbh. And I live in a Green area and have voted Green in the past. He didn't drop the knife when tased and several officers screaming at him, a few kicks is reasonable and proportionate. He'd be dead in many other countries.

I did not say he was antisemitic

i said that he plays into antisemitism to gain votes

What?

So you’re okay with antisemitism if it’s towards someone you disagree with?

But he doesn’t. You just don’t like what he’s saying.

Its so interesting watching the 'critical of Israel' crew minimize antisemitism. Cognitive dissonance in action.

It seems as if you believe that Jews all think as one and we hound anyone who deviates from our collective mind.

That’s not what I’ve said at all. Do you do this a lot? Read things and then put whatever meaning you want onto it, in order to come to antisemitism as a conclusion?

So you think this man travelled to Golders Green, a well known Jewish area, and just happened upon two men wearing Jewish dress, and stabbed them, randomly, because he’s violent? And there’s no other reason?

Yes, he stabbed a Muslim person known to him because he’s violent. I would suggest he didn’t need to travel to Golders Green to stab two more people if that’s all he wanted to do that day.

Can you not see how disingenuous you are being?

It’s not a stereotype to draw someone accurately. The nose in the cartoon isn’t cartoonishly big in my opinion, it is like his actual nose.

Oh do have a think about your last question, put it in the context of recent events and then try again.

Until you can manage that, stop wasting my time.

Have to admit, I only found out about the third victim here on MN!

This does not change the fact that the Greens are an absolute disgrace.

Questioning the media reporting to what end? Whats your point about it?

100% this. It’s interesting.

My point is that the media rhetoric at the moment is very damaging, and things like this (ignoring the third victim) allow for conspiracy theories and tropes to be spread about.

so now anyone you disagree with is wasting your time. Interesting, very interesting. You’re not actually capable of having a proper discussion about this, you just ask mindless questions in an attempt to look intelligent.

Nobody is labelled as antisemitic because they criticise the actions of the Israeli government. If that were the case, there would be a lot of antisemitic Jews.

What we are seeing is a criticism of Israel as an entity and an oft-expressed desire for it to be eliminated. Now I realise I'm asking you to do a certain amount of thinking and it's still early in the morning where I am, but why do you imagine that rhetoric is being put forward?

No implying that the third victim is being hidden by the media for political reaosns is 100% playing into racist conspiracy theories about Jewish people.

It was determined to be a terrorist attack, meaning ideology was part of it.

UK terrorism is defined as the use or threat of action—designed to influence government or intimidate the public—to advance a political, religious, racial, or ideological cause.

I think many are surprised to discover he is Jewish given some of his rhetoric.

You refer to him by his first name so I assumed you knew him personally.

No, I'm not ok with antisemitism. I'm Jewish. Why would you think I would be ok with anti Jewish racism? Are you feeling quite right this morning?

So you think people who dont like a politician should merely not vote for them, and sharing & amplifying negative news stories about them is wrong? Do you apply that principle equally across the political spectrum?
