I’m old enough to remember 48 hours ago on Politics Live when the media and political class were incandescent about a non-Jewish person explaining antisemitism to a Jewish person. Any minute now they’ll condemn Michael Gove’s vile comments towards Zack Polanski. Any minute now.
from @declassifiedUK. Here is an angry non Jewish Micheal Gove claiming he knows more about antisemitism than @ZackPolanski the only Jewish party leader.

This guy gets it. I know he must be tired. But we need him everywhere
🎥 “We want to go the Farage route, not the Lib Dem route.” Ashok Kumar of Greens for Palestine spoke to Novara Media about strategy behind the Green Party’s “Zionism is racism” motion, which took a year to organize and was designed to expose Labour’s politics. He said PM Andy Burnham’s response revealed him as little different from Keir Starmer. Inspired by Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s France Unbowed and its “strategy of conflict,” the idea is to set the terms of debate, provoke a backlash, and heighten contradictions to force opponents to reveal positions. Rather than chase more MPs by moderating its politics, Kumar says the Greens should use confrontation to shift the debate leftward and become an anti-establishment force. “We want to drag [the paradigm] to the left kicking and screaming.” @comrade_kumar_ | @novaramedia

Can we agree that that Zionism is Racism, in exposing that Labour has not changed on Palestine, and is willing to do everything to defend the genocide — including defaming thousands as “antisemites” — was a genius motion that completely exposed Burnham as no different to Starmer.

Another excellent response to the Labour Party's crude gambit. Good to see so many local leaders standing up and calling out the Labour Party for its complicity in genocide. In 2018 and 2022 Labour won EVERY SEAT in Lewisham. In 2026 they lost 39 seats to the Greens and lost control of the Council, in part driven by anger over Gaza and Starmer. Does the Labour Party really think this is going to play well in a borough that's just sent a firm message to Labour? Burnham will burn through huge political capital with the left that is given his party another hearing if he goes through with this... but be pilloried in the press if he stops. Another stupid, crude tangle created by the muscle memory of the Labour Together project.
I have responded to @lewishamlabour, @vickyfoxcroft, @Ese_Journo, @elliereeves and @JanetDaby regarding the green party's Zionism is Racism motion

The campaign against Polanski has now reached Corbyn levels of hysteria. So normalised has this become for the political/media class that they are totally oblivious to the fact the bulk of the public are saying - hang on, but he's Jewish. According to Opinium 81% of Green voters who expressed a view said they supported the Zionism is racism motion and 60% of ALL voters under 34. It is absolutely vital the current Green Party leadership stands firm. Millions switched to the Greens precisely because they appeared to be prepared to stand firm on the great moral issue of our day. To buckle would be disastrous for British democracy.

Important to point out this is not some freak incident. This is just Israelis doing what Israelis do every single day. It's just that normally the victims are Palestinian.

Zack Polanski doing EXACTLY what Jeremy Corbyn should have done 👊
Antisemitism is serious. That’s precisely why it should never be weaponised as a political football. Labour doing so should disgust people across every community. And all this while they continue to arm a genocide and lock up pensioners.

Absolutely this!
Labour still hasn’t grasped the political effect of weaponising antisemitism: all people take away is that, if you’re horrified by the genocide in Gaza, Andy Burnham and Bridget Phillipson think you’re basically a Nazi. Nobody buys this, and it just throughly pisses people off.

What successful campaigns or movements have the optics-left actually been part of to be so confident that they have a strategy and we don’t? I genuinely find it baffling lol.

One from the archives Sally Rooney in 2024: ".. we are witnessing an unfolding genocide.. the roots of this particular tragedy are in the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine & the apartheid system.. keep protesting.. it is the least that we can do"

Every Jewish political party in Israel opposes 2 states. Are they antisemitic?
The prime minister says the Green Party’s motion opposing a two state solution for Israel and Palestine is anti semitic - and that Labour could not form any alliance with the Greens while that remains its official policy
